In which various and sundry happenings occur
I got up this morning to go to my 9:00 and I got there at about 8:45. I saw Beth, my psych pal going into the room that I THOUGHT my class was in and as I was walking in, I said, "Beth . . . is this the right room?" She said, "yeah . . . " I said, "But the chairs were facing the other direction on Tuesday . . . " Then I said, "Beth . . . are you in my class?" She said, "I'm in Marriage and Family." Yeah -- that's not me. I was supposed to be in the room next door. Lol -- I was SO out of it this morning . . .
I decided that Dr. Pavot and Dr. Holm are some of the most interesting fellows I've met . . . They both let it be known how much they . . . enjoy . . . and . . . appreciate . . . certain physiological and biological functions of the human body. And they fully expect each of their students to be equally appreciative of both the function and of their using it as examples in class discussions. We were talking about how motivation varies over time and Dr. Pavot said, "This chart illustrates some of our basic motivations -- this one is food, this one is water, and this one is sex. Let's say that you don't want sex very much because you just had some last night . . . " Enough already . . . And Dr. Holm was making fun of the Pilgrims because they executed a guy because he engaged in what Bradford called "bestiality." He seemed to think that it was utterly deplorable that not only did they execute the dude, but they executed every beast he'd done things with, too. Well, what's a colony who fears the Lord supposed to do when it says clearly in Leviticus that anyone who "lies with" an animal is to be put to death along with the animal?
I got out of my 9:00 and ran over to State Street to grab a bagel and gobbled it down and ran off to work. But, my car was at East and I was at West and so I started walking across Campus -- about 1/2 mile -- at about 10:30 and I got to the parking lot at about 10:37. I started looking for my car and it was nowhere to be found. I looked in both of the lots that I thought it could be in and it wasn't there, so I called work and told them I'd be late because my car was missing. I was frightened because I hadn't had a chance to put my permit in the car and I thought they might have towed it. I was almost in tears and Jennifer answered and I freaked out even more and she said, "just get here when you can." So I continued to look and I couldn't find it and then I called Timmy and he said, "hit your panick button!" I said, "dude . . . You're a genius!" through my tears. Finally, I FOUND it, and I was 15 minutes late and I had to stay 15 minutes late at work and I had to run directly to choir and then I had to run to class half-way through choir and then I had to run to the RR so I could get food before they closed, but they had closed while we were still running. They let us in anyway because we told them that we were in class the entire time they were open and they told us to tell the prof to let us out 5 minutes earlier so we could get food. (We'll tell him, alright!) I ate hastily and ran to church and no one was there. Hm.
Dr. Holm was telling us about Thomas Morton or someone and how he was much more jolly than were the Puritans and he turned to me and said, "Are you sure he's not your ancestor??" Lol -- I think I'm his favorite . . .
I'm an office supply freak. I have every pen and pencil and type of paper known to mankind. I have regular pencils, mechanical pencils, ball-point pens, retractable pens, gel pens, retractable gel pens, pink erasers, cap erasers, retractable erasers, two kinds of whiteout, two kinds of black sharpies, silver sharpies, pink highlighters, purple highlighters, orange highlighters, yellow highlighters, a green sharpie, pink pens, blue pens, green pens, orange pens, purple pens, fat primary markers, fat bright markers, skinny markers, crayons, scissors, tape -- you name it, I've got it. (I ran out of gluesticks, but I'll get more . . . ) That being said, you'd think I'd be thoroughly prepared for my art class. But no. On the list of supplies, I needed to purchase were colored pencils -- the only thing I don't have . . . So, I went to Shopko tonight to get colored pencils. I got a box of 50 short colored pencils -- they're cute! And at half the price of the regular ones, you can't go wrong . . . It was exciting for me -- now I have a sharpener too. (I had to get one to accomodate the pencils.)
