Quick Update

For those of you wondering to know,
At 5am I don't feel so bad.
What's bad is
My eating schedule is messed up.
My sleeping schedule is messed up.
Leading to many headaches and stomach problems.
Or is it just weird food and dehydration...?
Gotta run!
It's ridiculous how busy I feel!
I will figure this out, I swear!

Here's the Question

Can I write a post in five minutes?
Turns out I had one more afternoon shift left for me. Why am I not excited...?
I am amazed by how many little birds there are by my house!
And I'm contemplating the ugly green blanket hanging over my window for sunblockage and optimal house-cooling. Wonder if that was a good idea.
Last summer I ate ramen and hot pockets everyday for lunch. Today I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I'm proud of myself for how much I've progressed.
This is gonna be a good summer, I can feel it!
The band has two shows lined up, every time we get further and further away from Provo and it makes me happy. Feels like we're taking over Utah! (even though we're really not)
I'm making a flyer. I'm really excited. Really, more excited than I should be. But it has dragons on it and it's the first horizontal concert poster I've ever seen before. How's that for awesome?
K, I went over 5 minutes.

Proud

I'm so proud of my husband. Today I dropped him off at the entrance of Provo High School for his first day of substitute teaching. Provo High! Who knew?
I think I was more excited about the whole process than he was, he applied for the job, they asked about his degrees and job experience, gave a surprised and interested "oh" as a response, and offered him an interview right then and there. Right then and there! (note: the concepts of having a relevant major and work experience and getting interviews offered on the spot are completely foreign to me)
So now he has a temporary job, even though just finding any job much less a temporary summer job is extremely rare these days. I'm so proud of my boy :)
...
Mornings are so lonely. I think I'd rather be alone at night than in the morning. Good thing, starting tomorrow I will be working 5am-12pm. Best shift ever, right? It'll be a first. I've done 6am before, and 5:30am once, but never 5.
Time to put some good tunes on my phone so I'll have something to listen to during my zombie-riffic work shifts!

Hello Monday!

This is the last Monday of the last full week of the semester! Lots, lots to do, yet all I can think of are three things:

Zaru Soba

Jalapeno Poppers(picture credit)

Gladiator Sandals

I hope I have made you sufficiently hungry and distracted :P
Summer is just around the corner! (but where is spring???) It'll be a long hard week, but soon this will be over! :D

Shimmering Travellin' Light

I never had much of a desire to travel the world when I was younger. People always told me, "You know when you get married you can't travel, right?" and I'd always shrug my shoulders and say that's ok, cause I'd already been to 3 different countries and I didn't have much of a desire to travel anyways.
A year and a half later, I want to travel.
Every other day I sit in the back of a classroom in the basement of the humanities building for my logic class, my back pressed up against pictures of everyday objects or Hannah Montana labeled in Spanish, and watch one of my TA's look up plane tickets to Belgium and maps of Europe on her laptop.
All of a sudden I want to go to Belgium.

After seeing friend after friend depart on study abroads, I've been giving more thought to the issue. Where would I like to travel? What kind of oh-so-touristy things would I like to see?

So far, here are some places/things I've decided I do want to see:

Athens - it was the place to be in the 4th century BC!
Mars Hill - the New Testament story I can most relate to, being such a geek about ancient Greece
birthplaces of various ancient Greek philosophers - Miletus, Stagira and the such. I'm a geek. 'nuff said.
Rome - absolutely the place to be in the ancient world.
Vatican City - I'm kind of a geek about medieval philosophy and Catholicism too. And it's one of the smallest countries in the world! In the middle of one of the most awesome countries in the world!
Sistine chapel - pretties. :3
Ireland - I love celtic music, celtic folklore, the Cranberries, and oh yeah I'm Irish too!
Stonehenge - It was built by aaaaliens!
a gothic cathedral - I used to be obsessed with vampires and listen to bands that dressed like 17th century french aristocrats and danced around in cathedral-like settings. I used to be obsessed with vampires, I meant. I still listen to the bands.
Tokyo - because anyone who's ever watched anime wants to go to Tokyo.
the Lindt chocolate factory - I love that stuff! :D
Disneyworld - to see if it really is better than Disneyland. It probably is.

Where are some places you'd like to go?
