I need sleep

I've been up for almost 24 hours so I should go to bed but no. So I drew you a picture. I never ever want to look up from the front desk and see this.

By the way that's a man in only underwear and surgical gloves.

Its always comforting to get a call to shut and lock the doors because something like this was let loose into society.

Life After College

Well let's see, I haven't been on my blog for a long time. So I decided it was about time to start posting again. This is what has happened in my life since I left you.

I did in fact graduate. I should have gotten a special medal for completing my education in 4 years. It doesn't seem like the common thing to do these days.

Then two weeks later my diploma was sent to my parents. Below is my rendition of what it might look like. I don't know....I've never seen it. Although it's only fitting that it goes to my parents since they paid for the piece of paper.

Then I worked for 4 days at Harding Grounds Crew pulling weeds.

Some interesting things happened there. Like finding poppy. Then I got offered a job as a Night Auditor at a hotel in the air conditioning. Yes. Please. Especially with this July heat. So I work 11pm to 7am. Interesting shift. People say "you should blog about it." I say "I'm pretty sure that's how you lose your job. People do in fact know how to use computers to find out what you're saying." But I love my job there. Good people, fun times.

Look! Me smiling at the front desk.

Well I've had some crazy road trips and good stories this summer so those will be written about in the near present future.

So what's life like after college?

Well I'm just as confused. I now attempt to only do one adult thing a day. Today I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. Tomorrow I will do laundry and if Im super motivated I might even clean the fish bowl!!! But probably not, because that would be two things and so I will probably clean the fish bowl on Wednesday. And that is what my life is like :)

Picture of the Day: Teeny little BAT!

He's just hangin' out in the hallway outside my room.

I looked it up and I think it's an Indiana bat. And it's probably male because the females migrate north during the summer months. 

And it makes sense that he's a male because he's in the prime location to be lazy and still get to eat a ton. He's hanging off the light in the hallway so during the day he stays cool and at night the light comes on and all the bugs fly to him. He doesn't have to do any work for his food. 

I called the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission because he's endangered and in the dorm, but they said that they only come get them if they are injured. I'm sure he will enjoy his life in the girl's dormitory.

Two Weeks

This will be me in two weeks. Happiness.

The Royal Wedding

In less than five hours I plan on watching the Royal Wedding with a group of people who find joy in such things. While many people are annoyed because of the vast amount of news coverage over the past month or so, I am not. This is simply because I don't ever watch the news when I'm at school.

Today was the one of the first times I encountered something about the wedding out in public. I found these at Bath and Body Works today. They were 50% off, because the wedding is tomorrow. It cracked me up that Bath and Body Works was attempting to capitalize off the wedding.

Kissed by a Prince and Royal Pucker

Dumbledore's Army

1. I love that this is happening.
2. This is legitimate and sign-ups are in the Ganus Building (by the Admin.)

Tornado!

Last night some pretty bad storms went through Arkansas. Most people took safety precautions, however my friends are adrenaline junkies. I was going out to my JEEP to see if my phone was there when the RAs ran up the stairs and started telling everyone to get on the first floor.

I logically ran down the stairs and out the building because I was not about to be shoved in a small bathroom with a leaky toilet with too many people like last year. Yeah we had a fun dance party for about ten minutes but then it really wasn't that fun being hot and cramped and having to stand.

Then I made an even smarter decision and left with three friends to drive into the eye of the storm, which we were tracking on an iPhone. Let's just say the night was epic. And I might have hidden my face at some points. My favorite moment however was driving through Beebe when the electricity went out. It looked so weird. The lights flickered and then everything went dark and there was a huge flash of lightning that lit up the murky green sky. One of the guys family lives in Beebe so we stopped in there and I ended up with a bunch of books for my ever growing collection.

We ended up not seeing a tornado but we did see some pretty awesome lightening and it was one of my favorite nights of my college career.

Look I drew a really bad tornado!

Paper Outline

I am currently working on a paper for my History of England class. It is over Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray and its place and influence in history.

It's good that we never had to turn in an outline, because while a typical outline looks like this:

My brain produced something that looks more like this. I hope it works.

Camping Trip 2008

I found this in my journal and it made me laugh...for some reason I have a tendency to write in play form.

Brother: We are in Indiana's lungs.
Me: What?
Brother: You know, like the rainforest is the earth's lungs.
Me: You sound like an environmentalist.
Brother: I am NOT an environmentalist!

Brother: Has America even claimed this land yet?

*Passing by a run down cement building*
Me: That's where we are staying.
Brother: Don't kid about these things.

*Approaching large lodge complete with an aquatics center including a water slide and lazy river*
Me: Yep our family knows how to camp.

Brother: Dad, when you came here as a kid were you in a horse-drawn buggy?

Graduation

This is how I feel about the end of the semester that is looming over me.

Pictures of the Day: Tornado or Rather Straight Winds

So last night I woke up to the building shaking and the wind hitting the window so hard I thought it was going to bust in. This morning when I walked on the main part of campus I found out just how strong the winds were.

That is in fact a whole tree down.

I went to check my JEEP and it had been hit.

By a leaf.

These are the sad broken trees that two years ago when I was working on grounds crew they worked so hard to keep them alive. When they finally were growing well after two years, the wind took them out.
