Craziness.

Holy heck-aroni.

This week has almost killed me. So many projects and papers, I almost didn't survive. Yesterday I was literally running through the library like a mad-women, printing off 20 pages of essay, stapling it while in mid-run to turn it in.

Today I started a different paper 2 hours before it was due after being up half the night reading the book it was about.

Hallelujah the craziness is almost over... just an online quiz tonight, a paper revision, 2 reading days, then finals week, family in town, my sister's college graduation, then packing all my belongings and cleaning my apartment, then driving home...

Wowza... I need some chocolate.

While I deal with the craziness over in my neck of the woods, I thought I'd share some craziness for you to enjoy as well. This is a video that my family home evening group (a group of about 20 friends from church who get together once a week for a fun night) made for a ward activity. I love it so much.

I have brain freeze and I didn't even eat ice cream.

Hi.

I'm kind of brain dead. Not totally brain dead, because, you know, its only the Monday of finals week and I've only taken one final.

But brain dead enough that I found a picture of my dog absolutely hilarious. And laughed for like five whole minutes.

Are you brain dead too?

ENJOY:

We call this her death glare. It just fits.

The Science of Syrup

Right now I am trying to read my science textbook. Its not going so hot for me. The fun kind of science is the kind my dad does.

My dad is a self proclaimed "scientist." And I am his trusty assistant. Together (and with the family) we have worked on countless school science projects, taken apart old TVs and answering machines and performed many experiments to answer our curiosities.

But many years ago, we had an experiment go horribly wrong.

The experiment seemed simple enough. We were curious about ants, and how fast they could come to food. So we went out in the backyard and laid down a paper plate filled with maple syrup. Being scientific and such, we decided to start a timer and then come back every few minutes until the ants arrived.

We went in the house, and when we came out a couple minutes later, we had our conclusion.

Dogs are faster than ants.

And our dog was standing there with a plate of maple syrup completely stuck to her little flat face. Get that image in your mind real good.

Poor Candy dog. She has had a lot of traumatic experiences in her life.

RUDE!!

I wish I was doing the fun kind of science right now.

But I think Candy prefers the textbook method.

Things I Do Instead of Working On Accounting

My accounting class is pretty cool. I don’t have to go to a lecture every week because all the lessons are pre-recorded on a DVD. I just have to watch the lessons and take online quizzes.

It’s great for self-motivated people. Good job self-motivated people!

As for me, I usually open up the lesson on my computer in the library, put in my earbuds, watch for a few minutes, and then refer to the following list.

Things I Do Instead of Working On Accounting:

-crank up the Spice Girls and pull out my inner DIVA in my cubicle with little quiet mini-library dance moves

“Tell me what you want, what you really really want!

I'll tell you what I want what I really really want!”

-Think of things to write on my blog.

-Facebook.

-Gmail.

-Facebook again.

-Lay down and take the perfect library nap.

-Ask someone to watch my stuff while I walk to the bathroom, hoping that when I come back I’ll have a fresh vigor for Accounting.

-Nope.

-Look up fashion blogs and decide that starting tomorrow I am going to look really awesome.

-Read all the cooking blogs and become super hungry and swear that I am going to have all kinds of culinary adventures and cook every night like a master chef!

-Then remember that I never accomplish these things.

-The Spice Girls thing again.

-Read other people’s blogs.

-Wonder why Kesha is still not wearing pants.

-Tap my feet like I am a pretend under-the-desk-tap-dancer in training.

-Drink juice boxes. (Yes I am a college student. Yes I pack juice boxes in my backpack.)

-Repeat.

Oh and sometimes I take 100 webcam pics in the library just for kicks...

Accounting is coming along really great so far!!!
