Internet!

I have internet on my computer again! AND I have bat-proofed my room so I am sleeping in my room again.

I feel less stress already. It is amazing how much I need a space that is my own for me to feel like a productive and functioning member of society! Ahh it is bed time. Wish me no bats!

Changes

So recently I have had a change of scenery, change of pace, change of well just about everything.

School is back in full swing. This week consisted of a lot of recruiting for Freshman Connection and reconnecting with students. I had many moments where I remembered why I like my job and few where I question if I should put my teaching certificate to good use soon.

The most wild thing that happenned is that I woke up one morning to something flying around in my room. After a couple days research (ie- sleeping on the couch and checking the room late at night) I determined (as in saw again) that I have a bat in my room. The place we think it is ocming from has been locked up so we hope it leaves poor me alone but who knows what will come of this.

I have read enough websites to be thoroughly scared of Rabies though. I think I am going to get that shot if the doctor even hints that I need it.

Oh the adventures of living in the attic bedroom!

spiders and moving

So I went to Lincoln this weekend and helped Phil move for days in a row. It was exhausting yet satisfying. It was really fun to see him and know I was helping him out.

Also, tonight as I got back to Omaha I walked under a spider web that I was pretty sure had a spider on it. Well, I got inside and looked for the spider and sure enough there it was inside my pillow case. Doesn't get much grosser than that does it? The spider was also brown and decent sized. I wonder what it was. Oh the times I wish to be Tracy with her abundance of knowledge!

I don't know what to title this news

Alright, random information about me. In my life I have only ever admitted to thinking one boy band member is cute. I remember telling my friends when I was younger that I didn't know why everyone freaked out about boy bands and n'sync and stuff. So they badgered me until I admitted that at LEAST one of them was cute. I gave in and said that if I had to pick one of the N'sync boys it would be Lance bass. Well, they teased me for the next few years about it. When I left for college they even bought me a Lance Bass poster which I proudly adorned my dorm room with freshman year.

So, here is where the news goes. Yesterday I was watching CNN (I think- maybe it was something else CNN seems unlikely) and I heard that Lance Bass came out of the closet. So my betrothed (as my friends referred to him) prefers men. What an interesting turn of events. I guess that is alright since I am dating someone else. Now I can assume beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has different plans for my life. :)

All the nav gossip

Here is the Big Red welcome t-shirt design for this year. It will be on a charcoal grey shirt. You can say you heard it here first! :)

You know you are bored when...

A) You post on your blog EVERYDAY... sometimes even multiple times a day!!!! Guilty!

B) You spend your time discussing new words for the term D-T-R. Ummmm.... Phil and I have spent probably hours discussing new words for DTR which traditionally stands for define the relationship.

Here are some alternatives we discovered:
D= deter, dehumanize, demolish, demand (this was thanks to me), defer, delay, denude (that was thanks to the wonderful Phil himself), defend, deepen, disorganize, deplete, demotivate, disenfranchise, disband, die, discover, deharmonize

So you can read this: deter the relationship, dehumanize the relationship, demolish the relationship...

Any other thoughts? Watch out this is kind of an addicting exercise.
