One Way To Stop Traffic

May 26, 2007

Yesterday I was on my way to pick up my boyfriend from the airport when I ran into some traffic. I was on the feeder road inching along, but I noticed that the traffic on the freeway wasn’t moving at all. I turned on the radio to hear the report, and this is what it said: “All lanes are blocked for cleanup on I-10 east at Wirt road. There has been a spilled load of animal parts.” What a lovely image.

Seriously Random Thoughts

> I just signed up for a Flickr account, so if you have an account as well, add me as a contact! >I really appreciate Chick-fil-a’s fruit cups because they don’t have any melon in them. I dislike melon. I also think putting melon in a fruit cup or fruit salad is a cop out for restaurants because it takes up so much room. >I was driving yesterday and I saw this sign outside of a church: “CH–CH. What’s missing? UR.” I’m all for a clever sign, but I don’t know how I feel about this one. >The best news I’ve heard in a long time? “We don’t really do care plans in this class.” I love psychiatric nursing already!…

Isn’t it so true that whenever you take your car in to the shop for something small, there seems to be something big that needs to be fixed?

Ahhhh…

May 3, 2007

I finished my last final this morning. I celebrated this evening by eating almost a whole tub of chicken fried rice and a pint of ice cream while I watched the DVRed episodes of Gilmore Girls and House. It was glorious. I have two weeks with no school, but I already have 11 things on my “To Do Over The Break” list, not to mention the fact that I agreed to work almost every day I can. Ah, well.

Weekend Trip to Lubbock

April 30, 2007

Well, it was a quick trip but I’d say it was definitely worth it. We left at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. I was sitting in the back seat. I pretty much slept for the first few hours. I meant to only sleep until it got light enough outside to study, but it’s just very hard for me to stay awake in the car. Eventually I got my textbook out and started to read. Then after a short while of that, I began to have a strange sensation that can only be described as car-sickness. I was in denial at first, but when my mom finally insisted that I take the front seat I did not say no. Shotgun was…
