a sunny wednesday

Today was a lazy sunny Wednesday. I started out the day attempting to go to school. Made it to my first class [just barely] and was debating the pros and cons of going to my next class instead of actually paying attention. [Hey, at least I was attending class] Anyway I finally made the decision of finishing school for the day and go to my second class until my friend leans over and whispers, "You hungry? Let's go to lunch."  Ok, if it wasn't hard enough to go to class already, how can you pass up food when your stomach is making more comments in class than you are.

Being the mature young lady I am, I say, "Later. After my next class."  I mean I only had two classes today, how hard could it be to sit in two classes.

Just so you know, it's harder than you think.

My class ends with my professor explaining how to pop in a dislocated shoulder. Weirded out, I pull up my pants [the were saggin' a bit,] fix my uncomfortable shoe, haul my backpack over my shoulder, hold my breath and manage to find the guts to be strong and attend my next class... until I stomp outside. It was beautiful. It was so beautiful that the sun was shining, couples were holding hands and I caught the Spring Fever. Looking around, I realize I could not be in another classroom for an hour and a half when it looks like this outside! So, being the mature young lady I am, I ditched my second class and went to lunch. Mm mm mm mm mmmm..

I promised myself, for the rest of the afternoon I would study for finals and start writing my philosophy paper to make up not going to class. Did I do any of those things? Nope. Instead, I get home, look at the couch and study how comfy it looked.
"It's nap time anyway"  I thought.

After that well needed nap, I helped my little sister and her friends perfect their lip-sync for their school's assembly. [It's during my Friday class, so I won't be going to that one either]

For the rest of the night, I did this and that, making sure I did not make eye contact with my backpack and books. I mean I did ditch them today. They would have stared me down and made me feel guilty even if I deserved it. That would have been so awkward. Please forgive me books. I will read, mark and study you someday.

When it's not sunny.

pros & cons of spring

Spring means many things. Things I absolutely love as well as things I hate.

I'll explain.

Pro; I get to hang up the wet winter coats & boots & dust off the spring clothing. 

Con; I need to get into shape for a spring/summer body. Great.

Pro; I can now do fun activities outside in the sunshine & warm weather in hope to get a little tan.

Con; I don't have to drive start and/or finish my homework.

Pro; School will be over in twenty-eight days!

Con; Finals are in twenty-eight days...

Pro; Love is in the air and people are becoming "twitterpated."

Con; I am single.

Pro; I get to put down the text books & learn how to become a bookworm reader.

Con; School makes me sick every time I think about reading.

Pro; The Bees' are playing again! And there is nothing better than a hotdog with a side of a jumbo bag of  popcorn, a baseball game & good company.

Con; You know... there is no con.

Pro; I hate wearing shoes. So when it's warm, I don't wear any.

Con; My feet look horrid.
Oh another Pro; If my feet look horrid, it's a great excuse to get a pedicure. Who's with me?!

All in all I love spring & I can't wait. Please come faster!!

please do not's

Men, when you are on a date;

-Please Do Not- Ask us what we want to do for the night when you pick us up. Have the date planned. You asked US out, remember?

-Please Do Not- Blast the music in the car. Some of us girls are trying to talk to you. We did say yes to your date after all.

-Please Do Not- Make us pay because you "ran out of money." So tacky.

-Please Do Not- Be the only one talking, you should listen.

-Please Do Not- Text, answer calls and/or leave to go talk with your friends, that's rude.

-Please Do Not- Ask personal questions like, "How much money do you make?"

...Uh, come on, really?

-Please Do Not- Get offended when we don't answer that question.

-Please Do Not- Lie. Most of us are pretty good at spotting a fake.

-Please Do Not- Act like you are cooler than we are. 'Cause you're really not.

-Please Do Not- Talk loudly throughout the ENTIRE movie. We are trying to watch and so is everyone else.

-Please Do Not- Try to cuddle with us when we said no the first time.

-Please Do Not- Invite yourself in our house and stay for another hour looking around when the date is over. Because well, the date is over.

And -Please Do Not- Call us five minutes after our date to ask us out again. Sheesh. The date just ended.

horray for friday

Today had sixty degree weather and it was beautiful! Walking to my classes this morning, [without having to wear my winter coat] everyone was singing and dancing along to You Make My Dreams  by Hall & Oats. The scene from [Five-Hundred] Days of Summer  where everyone was smiling, twisting and shouting and cartoon blue birds flying around in central park was playing through my mind. Yes, that's what was happening on the U of U campus today. You should have been there.

summer lovin



Yup. I want some.

Dear Summer,

Please please please come faster! I'm ready for your sunshine, tan lines and all the memories you create.

                  With love, Paige.
