Pros and Cons: Roommates

I live in the (primarily) Freshman dorm on campus (I'm a Junior. It is cheap. Shush.) I chose not to have a roommate this year and here are the pros and cons I have experienced so far.
Pros:
I haven't unpacked yet and it's okay.
I can be naked whenever I want.
My music, movies, etc can be as loud as I want them to be.
I can leave lights on
I don't have to worry about being quiet if someone else is napping.

Cons:
I haven't unpacked yet

Lonely

So far so good!!

My Thumb

So, last night a "friend" threw his dang iPhone in the general direction of my hand. Well, it hit the base of my thumb...hard. Needless to say, there was a lot of yelling and questioning of friendships and threats to call the police for a domestic violence report.* It was already starting to swell, so I put some ice on it and now, the next morning, it is just bruised. Now, this has given me time to really appreciate what separates us from the dogs, birds, and bees: opposable thumbs. This little appendage takes a beating throughout our everyday activities. I was digging around in my purse to find my phone and kept hitting my bruised thumb against everything. Texting is ALL thumbs. Typing (this whole post is painful) uses your thumb for more than just the space bar apparently (maybe I type weird?) Pulling back my hair has also become a pain. I really don't mean to sound like I'm whining, but I am just amazed at how much we use our thumbs. I cannot even imagine not having a hand, or an arm. My bruised thumb will heal in a week or so, but some people will never, have never, used thumbs, or fingers. Wow.

*Joking. Duh.

There are more, I just cannot think of them at the moment

Things that keep me up at night

After my rant about work, I'm sure no one wants to read this anymore. But I'm having trouble deciding somethings.

I can't decide what house in Hogwarts I would be in.

and

I can't decide if I would be an Earthbender or an Airbender. 

These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Let me tell you about my day.

So, I go to work at the museum at10am. Today, I arrived at 10:01. Stepped out of my car, and realized that I left my wallet at home. So, I head back to my house and catch every red light on the way. I grab my wallet and then head back to the museum; once again, i catch every red light. SIGH. So that was that. Then, I had to help set up the mazes and that took forever and it was really difficult. I'm not a handy girl, lol. Then I had a lovely lunch with my friend who is getting married. So that was a highlight. Then I had to just wait upstairs for another employee to get back from lunch (an hour and a half lunch). Finally, I was able to back downstairs to do my job: accessions. But then I remembered that the work from the pottery camp last week was on the floor where the basement flooded. (It's nice to know that the basement of a museum floods when there are very valuable things down there.) Finally, I was left with 2 hours to work on accessions.  UGH. Now, all I want to do is sleeeeeep

Crayons are amazing.

I'm not sure what it means when you can only color the foreground because your crayons aren't sharp enough to color the detailed background.


Today Hannah and I would pick out 4 random crayons and assign the other sister to color a page using only those 4 colors. This provided hours of entertainment. We are 20 and 15. 


I watched most of a wonderful French film called "The Last Metro." You should check it out. It's set during WWII; my favorite historical time. Not because of the violence, but because it is so rich with story. Yes, I am thinking about it very romantically. 


Also, I am currently watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and it is awesome to say the least. 


C'est tout.

Terrible

I'm a bad Blogger, and I've gone against everything I founded this blog on.... I will try to do better. I'm going to "Hello Seattle" next week and I'll try to catch everyone up (ie, Casie Dorsett) on my life.

EDITED FOR YOU CASIE!!! I'm sorry!! lots of love!
