Random Thoughts

Well today was full of odds and ends. I feel much better about today than yesterday. Today was by extension a part of yesterday, but it is all a part of my story, so sit back grab a drink and be ready...

Well it is the end of the semester as you all know and if you don't then you are new to me or the blog. I have been studying up a storm. Or at least trying to. Last night I just got into the groove and before I knew it I looked up and it was 2:30am. Yeah, I was a little unhappy about that. So I cleaned up my mess, or cleaned is not the right word. I rearranged my mess to make myself think I had "cleaned" and then headed to bed. I have a 10am class on Thursdays so I set my alarm for a lovely 9am wake-up call. So who wakes up and a bright and early time of 7:30am? If you guess me, you are right.

I do make it to class after scraping the nights snow off my car. I get to class which is Organizational Communication and we begin discussing parallelism in organizations as well as business strategy. Lots of fun! I actually really do enjoy it. I love my professor, he is the best professor I have had at WSU. He asks me hard questions and expects me to know which seems like it would be annoying but really it isn't. I like that he thinks that I am that smart. We get talking today about how stem cell research is a form of communication (you really don't want to know how we got there). Let me just say the class was in an uproar! Half the class was for it and half was opposed to stem cell research and it got crazy. But it was wonderful too. There is something about being involved in an intelligent debate about important and relevant issues. I loved the feeling, and those who know me will laugh, of stepping between the two sides and giving quick to the point synopsis of what the other side is saying and bringing it back to personal choice and aren't we all glad that we have it? There is something about being in that moment with the words just barely rolling off your tongue and the looks and the feeling of the group. I wish I could bottle it up and sell that feeling. I would buy it.

Then I went home and more studying awaited me. I did take a break to water my plants and I was excited to see my basil popping its head out. I have been waiting for it to show its self. I love new plants.

I went outside for an afternoon walk and came home to fall in love with the flowers in my flower bed all over again. I ran to the post office to mail some bills and then to work. How loverly! Why is it that I like to put "r" in things? I call my friend Ashley, Asherley because I like the way it sounds. Would it be odd to name a little girl that? I hope not.
