1.) The nap alarm on my phone is used on a regular basis.
2.) I feel the need to blog about how much I love Fridays.
I've spent the last two Friday nights doing physics stuff. Yes, voluntarily. A couple weeks ago we went down to Park City and did stuff there, and last weekend, we did stuff at the observatory here on campus. (And yes, I'm aware of how grammatically offensive the word "stuff" is. I don't mind.) This upcoming Friday I'm helping out with what's called Science Unwrapped that the university puts on. They do a talk about some kind of scientific topic and then have activities afterwards that help to explain and present it a little more. And next Friday, though it's not specifically physics-related, I'm taking my FIG boys (and hopefully girl if she comes...) to the DI to get sciencey-stuff to decorate the floor with. I'm not entirely sure what classification of nerd I fall into that I spend my Fridays doing science stuff, but I've decided to embrace it. And it's so much fun. OH! And the last Friday of October I'll be helping out with Haunted Labs, which will be fantastic. I went to it last year and it was so well done, and this year will be even better. :)
Besides Physics Club stuff, mostly I'm just busy with work, school, etc. Still. The past few days when I get home from class, people have been playing football or something out on the lawn and I ask myself, "I wonder what's it's like to just be able to play when you get home from school? Was I ever like that? I must have been at some point." (And then I remember how much tuition, food, and housing cost, AND how much I love all the people I meet and work with, and then I don't mind.)
My bed is up super high (even a smidge taller than it was last year) and this week I've formed a sort of sanctuary underneath it. It's not nearly as fancy as Sara's fort was, but it makes me happy. Sometimes I crawl under there (Underwear?) with the body pillow Tiffany loaned me for the year, and my blanket my Auntie Jacqueline made for me 10+ years ago, and I just hide. It's nice.
...And then my phone rings.
So I go back into the world and talk to people again and do my homework and sometimes sleep. And I'm ok. I was telling my mama the other day that I'm stressed for sure, but I'm not overwhelmed. I can manage with that.
Anyway, it really is time for bed now, so I'll catch ya on the flip side. Only one more day til Phriday. :)
P.S. It's a good thing I go back and read my blog every now and then... I totally forgot about the Skittles thing. Unfortunately I don't know if I did well enough this week. :( I'll write it on my mirror and start over next week.

OK. So you know the official name of your hideout is now Underwhere, right? or Underwear if you insist. I'm thinking it needs to outfitted with some Underwhere Drawers in which to keep your SuperSecret Stuff.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing all the good Stuff you are doing. And keep napping when/where ever you can.
I love you bunches. Bunches of Underwhere.
Christie,
ReplyDeleteI love you so much! I feel inspired to make myself a fort under my bed now. Shoot, I need cinder blocks!
