Proof that I am responsible:

Like three or four weeks ago I made the comment to my history professor that I didn't see how cheating on a paper would be worth it, because given the kinds of classes I take, it would take me longer to find a paper to copy than to just do it myself. And also, I'm way too honest. She told me there are paper writing services that will write your paper for you from scratch. Yeah. You must believe someone is honest and responsible to tell them how to cheat effectively and have faith they won't do it.

She's right. I won't. I'll stay up all night the day before a paper is due writing it instead of paying somebody so I can get a full night's sleep.

Don't give up on me! I do update occasionally.

But really, the summer kind of ended up sucking, and then having a good finish. I am way too young to be the matriarch of my family.

"Don't those soldiers know that fighting is dangerous, and someone could get hurt?" -Stephen, when his dad took him to the Gettysburg museum.

"Are you just pure sweet?" "No, I'm Greer."

"So what is circle time?"

Also, we sent our two-year-olds home with homework tonight. Woohoo. Start them early.

I found the picture I want my next tattoo to be. Took 33 pages of google image to find the purple iris from the angle I want. Now I just need to save up the splurge money for it. Ideally it will match the pink lily I have on my left shoulder.

Just because I really want a baby does NOT mean I want one right now or that I want one inside of me. I need to graduate first. And then find $50,000 because that's what babies are going for these days.

I think after years of education, I finally figured out how to make a good thesis: Write the paper, and then see what you argued. As opposed to coming up with either a really lame thesis, or saying something and then going off on a (hopefully better) tangent and never coming back. Which is what I was previously doing.

And to think, I only came up with this because my paper was going to be twice as long as the assignment said and I needed a new strategy for shortening it. So I decided to write and see what my main theme was, and then go with that. Hoorah! Now off to finish said paper.

Things I've learned this week:

Happiness is more important than homework.
Rain is a meteor. Well, a whole whole bunch of them, but still. Rain=Meteors
You can buy a house at Costco.
If you sarcastically make a comment, people will take you seriously.
Roommates who don't do dishes also don't take out their own trash.
Divorce sometimes is the answer.
Professors are people too.
I'm not the only person who spends too much money on food.
Cooking for other people is more fun than cooking for myself.
Sometimes you learn things about people that changes your opinion of them.
Deleting people as friends on facebook is cathartic.
Procrastination is always a bad thing.
I am a fabulous person.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me get through this last six months. Everyone who has showed they care, even in the little ways, has really made my life just that much bettr. Thank you.

San Francisco was absolutely amazing...except for the resulting sinus and ear infections.

I can't wait to go back. And this year's Prov should go better to plan than last years, and should get near the overall spiritual awesomeness of Salt Lake Prov. Now, to go about promoting this event...

If anybody is a college student/young adult on the west coast interested in an Episcopal conference on Iganation spirituality, let me know, and I will get more information to you.

Anybody up for a bridge burning party at a date yet to be determined? (no actual bridges will be set afire)

Wow, it's a good thing I never wanted much of a social life anyways. <- sarcasm

Wish me luck!

And also: I get to go to San Francisco next weekend!! Which means I will be missing work on Friday. But that's okay. I'm totally up for the adventure. Which hopefully will involve food I can eat. Anyone in the Bay Area want to try and find a time to get together?

And now back to writing two papers and reading 300 pages.
