Midterm Review

It's been quite a semester and we're only approaching midterms. Here are some highlights and lowlights for you enjoyment.






Favorite lie- Convincing my writing teacher that I am going to be a concert harpist when in reality I am not even taking any classes in the music building this semester.

Least convincing lie- Trying to forge hanging parking tags to put on the rear view mirror of my mother's van(nice ride, I know). My favorite was the one I made out of a Costco pizza pickup receipt.

Favorite class- Kickboxing. Unfortunately, this is the only class I am not receiving a grade in.

Favorite person- My UPS man. Okay, he's not my UPS man- but he's my work's UPS man, and he is just the friendliest person I know.

Current Obsessions- String cheese, the facebook graffiti application, my new glasses, and cinnamon.

Favorite coat- I pretty much wear the same green coat ever day because it is dang cold outside and this lovely coat keeps me nice and warm. I have also received some excellent feedback on this coat...

  • Me: (raises hand to ask a question)
  • My institute teacher: Um... yes... You in the Vietnam coat.

Not quite the feedback I was hoping for... but apparently my favorite warm coat was also used in combat. Who knew?

Musical discoveries- sis melis and I have had an ongoing music exchange recently. My favorite new aquisitions have been selections from The New Pornographers, Brandi Carlile, and Kate Nash.

Uncomfortable situations:

Turning bright red every time I answer or ask a question in class.

Accidentally filling out a psychology class survey wrong and being asked to do a follow up questionnaire on my "current depression."

Getting my blood pressure taken from a nurse with the worst bedside manner of any health care professional I know. I was pretty sure she was going to make my arm fall off.

3 Things I'm looking forward to at the end of the semester-

David's wedding
The mish
No more snow!

Just what I was waiting for.

1. You just let them assume you're going to be a concert harpist. It's not your fault they can't think of alternate avenues for musicians.

2. I'm so pleased you're enjoying The New Pornographers (I can't technically take credit for the other two). I'll go get to work on the next installment.
 
I too am obsessed with string cheese. It's just so much fun to eat.
 
One of my new year's resolutions is to eat more string cheese in 2008 than I did in 2007. In all honesty, I believe I have already achieved this goal.
 
It was good to see you the other day. I hope I run into you more often.
 
Michelle I have the same problem with turning bright red when I ask or answer a question in addition to anytime I have to stand in front of the class.
 
Love this post Michelle. It was comforting to see that you lie... I lie too and often feel guilty about it, but for some reason knowing that you've told one or two makes me feel SO much better. Thank you.
 
I love string cheese and your blog.
I guess you will read this in a year and a half
