I should be working but...

Today is not a day for me to be prolific. Nor is it really a day for me to get a lot of work done I think. Mostly I have just been printing things and highlighting which is not as exciting as it might seem.  So because I need to deviate from that for a bit I present several topics for you:

Why have you not graduated?
 As you may remember my brother just graduated this weekend.  I also had a good friend I was in high school with who graduated with my brother.  I realize that this may come off in a judgemental sort of way but I am just confused more than anything. So this young man was literally the brightest one in our class.  He was accepted to the School of Science and Math and could have gotten a full ride to any state school. Instead, he decided that he didn't want to do Physics. You heard me, "didn't want to do Physics." Not couldn't do physics, just didn't want to. So he came back to public school. Went to college on scholarship and just didn't go to class, didn't show up for the exams. Flunked out and came back home and I suppose eventually went on to community college. Not to say there is anything wrong with community college but this guy could have gone to any Ivy League he wanted and been brilliant but is just "too smart" in his own opinion to be tied down by normal educational routes. To give you a frame of reference we graduated in 2006. So five years later he has a two year degree and no job or ambitions to speak of. I don't get it. As someone who is working in student affairs, it is students like this that I have no clue how to work with. I have worked with several similar students this year who are very smart but just don't really seem to care about their education or have any desire to make an effort.

So here's to you for finally finishing!

Moving

This week I will be moving into a new apartment with two friends. I am rather excited as it means I will no longer live with a crazy person and Joel, who I am fish sitting, will no longer have to be afraid of the cats (or me either for that matter).

 Everone say hi to Joel!

 Last week when it was in the 90s this is what our thermostat was set to. Yes, 84 degrees.

This is just one of the many reason why I am so excited to me moving out this week. Another fun part of the moving process though is finding furniture. This weekend I spent most of Saturday searching for a livingroom furniture so that we don't have to sit on the floor all year. It has been an interesting adventure to say the least. 2 Targets, Walmart, and 1 real salvation army and 2 fake ones later I don't think we are really any closer to having an answer to the furniture issue. I'm going over to try and figure it out tonight.

So now after having wasted a little over an hour writing this and looking at craig's list I really should get back to work.
