double-duty: So today and last night were a bit stressful. I'll start with yesterday morning. I got a call from Brother Rickson in my bishopric and was surprised to hear him ask me to give a talk in sacrament meeting. I said yes and then told him that I was also teaching Gospel Doctrine... perhaps in hopes that he would retract his invite, but he didn't mention it and just carried on with the conversation! Subtle-attempt-at-getting-out-of-speaking FAIL! So last night I had to plan both my talk and my lesson. I feel like neither was great because I didn't give either enough time to develop. Oh well... the important thing is that I'm done with double-duty, and I didn't get booed out of my lesson or off the stand.
crying: As I was leaving home yesterday I mentioned to my mom that the week ahead of me was going to be very tough. "If ever there was going to be a week where I called home from school crying... this would be it." I'm frankly very scared. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get through all of it with the grades I want. My GIS class as I mentioned a couple posts ago is NOT treating me well. I'll live, but hopefully I'll be happy with the outcome.
heartburn: I don't think I've ever experienced heartburn until the past few weeks. It's not great. I don't like it. And I wish to voice my opinion that it should be stopped. That is all.
blue l.e.d. christmas lights: I know some of you have heard me rant about them before, but I really don't like the new l.e.d. Christmas lights that are blue. People think I'm crazy when I say this, but they hurt my eyes. Yesterday, as I helped my mom put up her new l.e.d. Christmas lights, I finally figured out why. I like the colors of her lights, but the blue ones are different. She and I went out to her sidewalk to look at the lights when they came on in the evening. I noticed that when I looked directly at the bulbs of the blue ones (my mom has the large-style lights) they're all fuzzy and my eyes won't focus on them! The other colors... my eyes can focus on them just fine. (I like the green.) But when I stared directly at the blue ones, they look all blurry! So they've been messing with my eyes from a distance all this time that I've been complaining about them. So there! I'm NOT crazy! (Provided ranting about Christmas lights doesn't qualify me for crazy.)
a lack of bloggage: As mentioned before... this next week is going to be tough. And unless I'm going to be shirking on my school-work, you should probably not see me on here for a while. The semester ends next week. Wish me luck!
k, see ya.
HATE HATE HATE those blue lights. I'm totally with you, crazy or not.
ReplyDeleteI thought the very same thing when I looked at Mom's lights. Also, get some Tums. I have to take them every freaking night. Good luck with school this week and finals! Once you get home, we'll have a mean game of Boggle (I guess Lin has already offered up her house as a gathering place).
