So this is Oak Tree Dr….my street only about 3/4 of a mile away. It’s been like this for about 3 weeks now, ever since we had all that insane amount of rain. That huge thing in the middle is a pump that has been trying to pump water out of there for the last three weeks. I don’t see though how after three weeks of constant pumping, there is still this much water on the ground. All I have to say is thank God that we live on a hill.
What is annoying however, is that is my usual running route. Yesterday I decided to plan a new route, seeing as the condition of my usual one is not improving. So I set out on my run and lo-and-behold the the street that I’m on is yet another flooded street. So I had to turn around (I was on a country road so I was about a 1/2 mile from the last intersection) and I had to find somewhere else to run. Hopefully this all dries up soon.

This is Sam sniffing the carpet. Apparently it doesn’t get old, even after living there for a month. He has also taken to sniffing this candle in my room. He warned me that it “just smells so good that he could eat it….don’t be surprised if it’s missing by tomorrow…”
haha
4 weeks agoYet story of my clumsiness:
Yesterday I had some time to kill before meeting up with some people so I went to Target and just walked around and looked at stuff. As I was walking I managed to slip on what was probably the smallest wet spot ever (I don’t know how I manage to step on the only wet spot on the floor). When I slipped my foot slid behind me and I feel forward onto my knees. And of course this would happen while there were maybe 7 other people walking in the same aisle. It was quite humiliating. So I quickly got up, said “watch out, the floor is wet right here” laughed akwardly, and ran to the corner section of the store, hoping that none of the people who saw me fall would bump into me again.

What I listened to today:
So last Friday I met my aunt at my dad’s office to get lunch and visit for a bit. Her desk is on this platform (as seen in picture) because the floor in the building is not even. My aunt and I were printings things off, etc., and I kept stepping up on this platform, however, I tripped every single time.
My aunt just chuckled at my clumsiness and I said “I should write about this in my blog!” So I took my phone out and tried to take a picture of the platform that I kept tripping on.
To get a good picture of the platform, I crouched over a bit, and slowly kept backing up to get as much of it as I could. But suddenly I tripped yet again, on a rolled up rug that was behind me (also shown in the picture). It was slightly ironic…I tripped while taking a picture of something that I tripped on.
Anyways, this picture was taken after I tripped oh so many times. It is the platform and the rug I tripped on.
2 months agoSo today in my psychology class I had four phone calls and three texts….all within a twenty-five minute span. Unfortunately for me I sit right in the front where my professor can hear all this going on. It’s one thing when you sit in the back of a crowded classroom, but when you sit in the front of a small-sized class it is definitely noticeable (and it doesn’t help that when my phone vibrates it’s REALLY loud) . My professor didn’t say anything, but she kind of gave me this evil glare.
Usually I don’t turn off my phone, I just put it on vibrate because usually nobody calls me while I’m in class, and if I get anything it’s a text because they know I’m in class…I think that from now on I might actually turn my phone off.
