FINALLY! blogger's scheduled maintenance lasted a million hours longer than they said!

i wrote this around 7:00ish and have been waiting for stupid blogger to let me post again. still in a fun mood though!

okay, fair warning: i think this might be a long post but believe me it’s worth it. umm, worth it not because it’s thoughtful but because i’m in a funny mood and i think it’s going to be funny. you all might miss the comedy of it but you know … it’s my blog!

first, i want to say that i absolutely loved my speech class this year. i’m sad that today was our last class ever. there were such great and talented people in this class. a comraderie kind of developed. i don’t think anyone else’s speech class had these elements of mutual respect and fun. i really do feel like i was very lucky to be in this class with these people and this teacher. at semester, we even had some folks leave and new additions and to be honest, we were a little concerned that it would affect the dynamics. but it really did turn out marvelously. so a big shout out and thank you to: professor brower, carmen, 1 samuel, 2 samuel, mark, ann, krista, adam, kathryn, and eileen. oh, and i have to say that i have remembered what my favorite moment in the class was: professor brower showing us how he used to play with his pretend pistols and gallop around on his imaginary pony. nothing beats an 80 year old man, who is really a child at heart, galloping around the room playing cowboys and indians!

well, today in speech class, we got to read anything we wanted. and i took in two poems that i really love. no regrets. but i have just found probably my favorite poem ever and i wish i had read it to them. so now, i’m just going to have to post it on my blog. this is the first and only poem that a boy ever gave to me. he presented it like he had written it, but i’m sure he had heard it somewhere before. i must say that, of course, i developed a bit of a crush on him because of it!

when i wake up
i cannot eat
‘cause i have to think about you

when it’s time for lunch
i cannot eat
‘cause i have to think about you

when it’s time for dinner
i cannot eat
‘cause i have to think about you

when i’m lying in my bed
i cannot sleep
‘cause i’m hungry

oh gosh! crack me up! that’s the best poem ever! i mean it’s sweet and it’s hilarious! (i prolly just think it’s the best poem ever because a cute boy gave it to me but hey, whatever!)

okay, now a little confession time. i had my own private 70’s dance party in my room today. it was fun! you should have been there! i really don’t know where i got all this energy or why i’m feeling so fun and fancy free but i really should be doing homework.

so now, i would like to end with a prayer:
God, please help me to have the motivation to do systematic theology. amen.
