FatSwatter's Journal, 04 August 2015

I have a short break and wanted to say hello and Happy Tuesday (albeit a little late). I thought I'd share a little thing that happened today. :)

It is not uncommon for me to hear multiple conversations from students I pass while trekking the nearly 1 mile walk to my office from where I park.

Today; as I was walking during my lunch break, two ladies were walking beside me one of whom was VERY concerned and annoyed that her roommate keeps taking her clothes. The other girl, attempting to console her, blurted out "doesn't she shop for her own clothes?" to which the first girl said "no, she has no money".

The conversation quickly turned to "oh that's so sad, maybe we should help" to "but we don't have a car" to "I just want my clothes back even though some of them I gave them to her because I don't wear them anymore".

The consoling girl asked "is she taking the ones you didn't give her?" and the original girl suddenly exclaimed as if ON FIRE "OMG I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONES I GAVE HER".

So this whole time, I'm trying desperately not to belly laugh because I didn't want them to know I was "listening" to them (even though it wasn't hard to do - they were LOUD) but oh my word, what I would give to have that kind of problem! Grown up problems stink, let's go back in time! Plus, I loved tie-dye and bangs that were 4 inches high! :) I just had to share!!

On a plus note, I'm meeting my exercise goals so far. I still have way too much to do school-wise but have an outline and about 2 pages complete of one of the papers. Today, I want to write another 2 pages at least and do the assignment that's due tomorrow. Then tomorrow, do the other assignment that's due and write another 2 pages of the paper I'm working on. I don't do well switching topics back and forth so I'm just going to have to write one paper at time. However, I WILL get it done.

I hope you all are staying strong and focused yourself! Keep it up! :)

Sounds like you are very focused this week and off to a good start on both your schoolwork and 'me' work!! Loved that story -- yes, even with its roller coaster highs and lows, I miss those years (particularly high school), where the littlest thing could make (or sometimes break) your day/week/month/year. Like when you're a freshman and the cute senior football player greets you by name in the hallway IN PUBLIC (thanks to an older sis who had already graduated and asked him to 'look out' for you). :) Seems like now it takes much more to achieve those highs when we should still appreciate (and respond in kind to) small, simple 'everyday' gestures and pleasures. Best of luck getting through the rest of your busy week!

Thanks for popping in and sharing! That's just too funny! (Feel sorry for the unknown girl with no money though, and a crazy room-mate too!)
