Well, the computer lab in my dorm room was full last night when I wanted to write this, and
as I had been helping with our school choir/drama department play "Fiddler on the Roof" (which,
by the way, I think is really a great production), I decided to read three pages of chemistry
and hit the sack. Should have read more; I'm in Organic chemistry this term and we're doing
unknowns, and let me tell you something I am not a problem solving type of person! More about
that in later episodes, perhaps.
I tutor kids down at the Salvation Army here in the town my college is at (more since choir
practices cut down to only once a week, something that ends this week). No, this isn't something
to get you to get all warm and fuzzy about me, it's to tell a story. I, little miss genius that
I am, decided to (for the very first time!) ignore the warning to take my backpack out of the
van we came in because it belongs to the Salvation Army and they might decide to use it. Well,
wouldn't you know it, they decided to use it. Never happened before, at least not in my memory.
Anyway, I'm now (and still, as I write this) out of a bookbag, a Chemistry book (that could get
desperate), and a library copy of "The Scarlet Pimpernel". (No, it's not required reading, I'm
reading it for fun)
Now for the whole point of the story: I didn't panic. I've come to realize that I'm more a
go-with-the-flow kind of person; I take things as they come. I don't get all crazy when
something goes wrong (generally), I just take it in stride. For example, I've lost my keys on
numerous occassions, but it's always been my friends who are the worried ones. Then I have
friends who stress about everything. If there's a test coming up, they are studying two
weeks in advance and still stressing the night before that they haven't studied enough.
It's enough to make a laid back person like me sick. I, on the other hand, if I have a test, I
will happily study two days before, take the test, and be happy with whatever grade I get no
matter my protests to the contrary (unless it's lower than a C; then I get a little aggrivated
with myself). I drive my mother up the wall with my take-it-as-it-comes attitude.
Oh, did I mention I was a slob? I didn't, did I? Well, I am, and proud of it. I am what you
might call the mistress of an organized pig sty. In other words, I can tell you exactly where
everything is but you might have to go through piles of clothing to get to it. I am not a tidy
person by nature; it's just ... hard ... to stay tidy, so I don't bother. I'm telling you,
laziness is yet another sign of the what-will-be-will-be attitude.
Enough about me. I went surfing the web again today (ooh, big surprise) and found some pretty
cool sites. One that kind of hit me across the head was The
Rose, a site that reminded me of my last rant. She's only 15, and her site is GORGEOUS! I
always thought I got onto the internet at an early age; I need to wake up and realize that I
didn't get on the internet earlier because there was no internet earlier. I looked around
Rose's site, and thought it was positively marvelous. I love seeing sites like this; makes me
want to revise mine. :)
Did I tell you I'm thinking of getting my own domain? Talk tomorrow.
