thoughts...

first off, I am upset about the stuff happening at the Olympics, however I believe in the Olympics as a way to bring understanding, compassion, and friendship across cultures and people. So, stop dragging it down. Sure there are bumps and the road, let's figure out how to make this all a positive thing.


you can only push yourself an arm's distance away from the Lord, because you can only push him that far, he will never push you away.

If you are doing something because you are afraid of the consequences, you have a telestial attitude. If you are doing something because you are obligated to do it you have a terrestrial attitude.
If you are doing something because you want to do it, then you have a celestial attitude.

Engineering

 If I was ever an engineering professor I would have this be the last question on the final exam.

Question: If an engineer walks for 40 min. with 3 textbooks, 3 notebooks, a laptop, a granola bar, a calculator, a phone... etc. How many calories do they burn?

Answer: A pizza, you deserve a pizza.

su pu ll: 24

So, today was pretty weird.

First, I found on my way to class that my car doors were frozen shut. I had to use my fast acting chemical engineering mind to figure out how to open the door. (I just tried pushing on the door in and out until it opened)

One of my classes homework was postponed until next week. The entire class cheered, clapped and whistled, like after a Broadway performance.

I am all these things...

Beautiful things

Pu su ll 20

I want my life filled with beautiful things, in every medium.

Random

Run time: 30 min elliptical 

I almost cried when I saw Sherlock on. I can't tell if I love Martin and Cumberbach or Watson and Sherlock more. However I love Sherlock and still hate Mycroft so very much.

I can't believe the writers wrote Sherlock as such an Arse. My roommate says I was yelling at the TV. I don't remember, I was in a very dark place.

I don't know why anyone becomes an engineer. Most people respond to "what do you want to be" with something like "I like painting so I'll be a painter."

An engineer is like "well I'm good at math so maybe an engineer?"

No one says "I enjoy doing math so I'll me an engineer."

Friend

My friend came down this weekend. When she left it really made me realize my lack of friendship here.

When I get all excited about doing something I'll go talk to my friends about it, but they are lazy and don't want to do anything. Really kind of takes the esteem out of activities.

Someone said this to me about friendship  "they each have something eachother needs. Something that makes the both of them feel better."

Hum....

Ice skating

Soldering or sautering

ESo my friend and I were going to a soldering party tonight. It's what the cool kids do on a Friday night. Anyways I kept saying "soLdeing" pronouncing the L. But that is incorrect. But it did confuse us... And this is what happened..

Em: hahahah omg. K so it IS soldering when you fuse two metals together, and sautering is when you lightly fry meat on a skillet. At this point I think I'm too restarted to even work at mcdonalds.

Me: no that is sauté 

Em: wowwww. I'm going to live in the wild with the animals now because that's obviously where I belong

What is sauter?!?!?

Me: the incorrect way of spelling solder based an the American pronunciation 

Confessions of a Moderate

Run time: 45 min (on cross trainer) 4 miles. 10 push ups and leg lifts



I am not a vegetarian, however I do not eat a lot of meat unintentionally. It is against my beliefs to abstain from eating meat. However, a few days ago I was reviewing an article about animal cruelty in the Food Industry. It is pretty darn discussing. I think I, as well as others, should take more time and care into understanding the food they eat, and also take more concern in the well being of the animals that give their lives for our subsidence.

A friend of mine died a little over a month ago. It was a harsh blow to my friends and I. It was very, very unexpected. While the sadness of his unfinished adventures of his life still troubles me, I understand that he is happy and well where he is now. Sometimes it might be that our tears and really for ourselves and the pain we contain.

1/13/14

First day of school for the new semester.

It was pretty good and I was motivated to study. However, it is going to be really really hard. I am a little nervous about it. Mostly about my Momentum and Heat Transfer class.

So, my roommate drives me nuts. She has not stopped talking to me since I got back to the apartment. And Everything she talks about it either something I have experienced before or she is trying to one up me. I don't understand. She just states obvious things, over and over. She is like the younger sibling that never lets you alone. Just asking you questions about every little thing. If I leave a knife in the sink with a tad of peanut butter on it she will ask "So, did you eat peanut butter." And internally I am thinking "WHY THE H DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW! OFCOURSE I HAD PEANUT BUTTER!!! YOU CAN FREAKIING SEE IT!!!!"
but I just grunt in affirmative.


But then tonight she read me the bit in her journal about me. She said I was the greatest person she has ever met and she is so grateful for me. Which is sweet, and makes me feel like I shouldn't be so internally mean.

I am in conflict. I just get so irritated all the time.



On a side note, I watched a horrible movie. A horrible awesome movie. Warm Bodies.

panic attack

This is my panic attack.

I felt like I couldn't breathe, so I stood up and I was shaking. SO I realized I was having a panic attack.
I texed my friend for some advice on what to do, and this is what happened. (all via text)



once upon a time there was a donkey....


his name was donkey...


And he was sad because all of his friends called him an ass.


So he went to find the good fairy, he wanted her to turn him into a noble steed.


So, he climbed over mountains and crossed raging rivers and karate chopped a goat. until he finally came to the good fairy's dwelling....


He asked the fairy if she could turn him into a noble steed. The fairy said, you must climb the mountain wannahakaloogie and hak a loogie over the side of the mountain...


So he did. And it hit a squirrel...


 And he turned into a noble steed.


However, the squirrel told all of his squirrel friends what had happened....


 Then all of the squirrels in all of the land gained opposable thumbs and began work on their war machine.


 unbeknownst to the noble steed, he was about to be attacked in his sleep.



The squirrels used their war machine and sadly he was chopped into bits and sold to a Chinese man who was then able to open a Chinese buffet. The end.
