Work is crazy right now. Ahh!
Beakers breaking with hours of time invested into the material they carry.
Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines!
Equipment failure up the wazoo.
Other machines needed are already reserved.
Did I mention I have a REALLY important deadline (Wed) that I need to have a huge project done by?
Why can't they just give me a lab key? Hmmm?

I was totally pebbled today. It was really weird because I don't really know how it happened. Though, I think it had something to do with the fact that all I had for dinner was Pop-tarts. At about 8 I went over the A. Richards hall (where Julie, Amanda, Sherrie, Laurel, Tayler, and Caroline live). I have been taking a survey which was inspired by my class (let if know if you'll participate; it's simple, painless, and only takes a minute) so I asked them if they would take it. Then, I went nuts. It was weird because it slipped into it very gradually and didn't stop for about 2 1/2 hours. Throughout the night I was singing at the top of my lungs in full falsetto, I named a kitchen utensil Fred and made him make out with two bananas (one was Jacklyn, the other was Suzanne. Suzanne was dating the third banana, Christopher, and he didn't like Fred making out with his girlfriend. We made cupcakes which just made me more crazy. At some point Sherrie came in and told me that if we weren't at BYU she would have thought I was drunk. I put on a bunch of Tayler's jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and such, and Julie and Sherrie took pictures. I made everyone else in the apartment take my survey as I continued to be very loopy. (I may have to throw out those results if I messed them up or something. >_<) At 10 we left to go tunnel singing and picked up a bunch of people on the way. (These people have my really, really cool knife and I keep forgetting to bring it home. But, for some reason Sherrie and Amanda wouldn't let me take it at that time. I can't imagine why.) Finally, we got to the tunnel and sang hymns and such. My roommate announced his Mission call to Jamaica. (I still tell him that it's a vacation and not a mission.) We came back and I did my laundry and am now typing this. Overall I would give this night a 9.8/10. I can't really think how it could have been much better, but considering my circumstances I'll take it.
Also, I finished our group video last Sunday. I am sooo sick of it. I'm sure it turned out all right, but after doing 7 hours of filing and 15 hours of editing I am done with it for a very, very long time. I still kind of want to do my own video. It is a rendition of Raffi's Banana phone. I think it would be hilarious.
In other news, I have my old job back at U of M for the summer. But, now I'll be able to get in about 3 1/2-4 months of work which translates to $6,000-$7,000 for the summer. w00t1.
In other, other news, I love teaching chemistry like no other. I'm uber excited to do so professionally. I would also be happy teaching pedagogy. Money is overrated. Happiness is where it's at.
I think for the first time in my life I wish I could fast forward four or five years.
I love the Lord.

I don't know what to do anymore. I want to go home to people, but not be home. Life would be so much easier if you all moved out here for the summer. Seriously, that would make me the happiest person evah. Besides, they gave me full tuition scholarship for Spring term. Do you really want me to miss that? P.S. Here is my roommate's side of the room as of right now:
 Yes, that is a pizza box and an old bag of popcorn.
I as so scared that I will end up with a wife and kids like him (and my family). Please remind me that this is like number one priority for marriage. He smells too.

Lately, I've been having lots of dreams where I meet beautiful women. It's been kind of crazy. Last night it was at a top private school in the nation where I was visiting for some reason or another. I think someone was sick and I felt like the music teacher there could help me. I met a girl outside the very magnificent choir and orchestra room where a rehearsal-performance was going on. She asked if I needed to talk to the teacher and I said I did. We talked about our interests and majors and found out we both really wanted to do something with music but we would probably go into chemistry education. It was so cool. She was very pretty in a very marriage-able kind of way.
I don't remember the details about the dream a couple nights ago. But, I think I was married to some girl. I don't know who. It was definitely some one my mind conjured up because I didn't recognize her at all. But, we were very much in love.
Crazy dreams. I'm going back to bed. I haven't been up this early in a long time.
P.S. the rehearsal that the choir and orchestra were having in my dream was soooo amazing. I almost died from it's brilliance. I wish I could have stayed there longer.Current Mood:  contemplative Current Music: the hum of hte computer |

I forgot that I injured myself on the slip n' slide the other week. So, today because I was running a little late for class I decided to pick up my pace. I didn't think that walking faster than my normal pace (which is naturally particularly fast) would have adverse effects but I was wrong. >_<

Last night I dreamt that Hitler never actually died but went hiding. It turns out that he was hiding in a giant ear shaped rock in a mountain and by searching for cell phone signal in that area he came out. He then recruited me the help him fulfill the rest of his "plans." He never actually told me what I was supposed to do but I think we may have beat up/killed a couple people.

Is it impressive to anyone else to put on a really good concert in less than three weeks?
I lie to myself and others sometimes when I say I came her for the chemistry program. I don't know if I would be here if I didn't go to their concert last April.

Fact: I'm spending a ton of time studying and doing homework.
Good news: I thrive on it.
More good news: I have tickets to the choral showcase, they were six dollars.
Even more good news: I will finally start working soon. I'm going to my first group meeting on Friday.
My dad (as well as many other people) has emphasized the need to keep a journal for future generations and what not. That it is a good principle. I've decided that eljay is my journal (I know you're thinking, "duh, what do you think the 'jay' stands for?") But, I've always felt like it had to be a real journal. Just today I realized that it doesn't really matter. Ok, I'm done.

A: "Just to let you know, my life is engulfed by the musical and things. I'll see you in April."
R: "What!?!"
If I get my annual crazy flu virus/scarlet fever, I think I might just kill myself.
Hmm....
