Sometimes...

Sometimes a Saga dinner can be a completely unrewarding culinary experience. Especially when you mistake sesame seed oil for balsamic vinegar and proceed to douse your entire salad with that most foul-tasting concoction ever produced. But at least it's still fun to people-watch.

Sometimes a hundred little conversations with Jesus throughout the day can make me feel closer to my Savior than one long prayer before I go to bed. He almost starts to feel like one of my best friends. And that's the way it should be; He's my Best Friend.

Sometimes a nap doesn't have to complete an entire REM cycle to be refreshing.

Sometimes dancing around the room with a hairbrush, belting out the latest Dashboard Confessional songs can be a major emotional release. Sometimes I use my waterbottle, and that works, too.

Sometimes you (ok, I) miss class because you're (I'm) kind of an idiot; like if you (I) just forget when the class starts, so you (I) keep talking to a professor outside of Delp and even think to yourself (myself), "wow, this is great -- I might even have time to check my email!"... but really, you (I) end up being 15 minutes late. Then it's really a pain because it's hard to say to your (my) professor, "I'm sorry, I missed your class because I'm kind of an idiot." I'm not sure how you (I) would do that. I hope that never happens to you (me). HA.

Sometimes Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream solves problems. Even the complicated ones... temporarily.

Sometimes some people make me wonder. But I guess maybe I make some people wonder sometimes, too.

I like this year so far. It's full of interesting people and situations and relationships and challenges and laughs and cries and hurts and smiles and friends and fellowship and worship and prayer and Saga meals and lectures and homework and papers and exams and parties and barbecues and movies and girls' nights and music and cosmic bowling and Oakley and Mu Alpha serenades and baking and The Gathering coffee and Catacombs and singing and SAI and study nights in the Snack Bar and long walks and porch monkeying.

And animal crackers. Yum.
