There are those days where some classes are more boring than others. Today was one of those days. I've learned a lot already about psychoanalysis, Marxist psychoanalysis, suturing, and the mirror theory. I couldn't handle it today. I just wanted to zone out. And I would for awhile. Then I'd zone back in and pretend to take notes but instead actually draw random figures on my paper. Then I'd zone out again. Then in. Then out. Then I'd start texting Brittany random questions. Then I'd zone in for a bit while I thought of new things to text Brittany and then I'd zone out. Then I started thinking about what I could text my mom...
I'm telling you, being bored can lead you to do some pretty crazy things.

Broadway
3/28/2010
Music is a powerful thing. It can make people laugh or move people to tears. I was witness to such an emotional event today. The musicians knew what they were doing. The piano playing, the singing: all of it was absolutely amazing. As they were performing I looked around the room. People were wiping tears from their eyes.
The musical number for Ward Conference was very well done.

Faced with a crisis
3/27/2010
You've got to be kidding. I had thirteen minutes to get downtown. And it was vital that I made it. I would have been fine IF the F/V subway would have been working. But I didn't realize it had been closed for the weekend.
Here I was having to take the F/V uptown to 34th Street and then downtown to West 4th. There was no way. But there was nothing else I could do. I waited patiently on the platform.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes.
There was no sign of the subway even coming.
I had seven minutes to get there. They were waiting for me.
There was nothing else to do. I bolted out of the subway to hail a taxi. Taxis kept passing. One stopped but was only going uptown. I crossed the street. Finally a taxi stopped. "West fourth and sixth avenue."
I checked my phone. I had four minutes.
He raced down the streets of Manhattan.
"This is fine," I said as I threw the driver a bill. "Keep the change."
I ran across the street. Hopefully I wouldn't walk in making a scene even though I was a few minutes late.
I held my breathe as I walked in...
The previews were still going.
I made it.

I love to see the Temple
I made it to the Temple today. It has been awhile and was much needed.
When I got there the guy checking the recommends said I had only five minutes. I believed him only for a second as I had met him before in similar circumstances. I knew I had a good fifteen. Plenty of time.
As I was walking in, though, he stopped me. He asked if I had forgotten something. I went through my mental list of things: recommend, check. He had already given it back to me and it was back in my wallet. Money: check. I hadn't taken out anything else from my purse so I was fine.
"I don't think I'm forgetting anything."
"A husband?"
Ahhh... It made sense.
"I don't have one yet," I winked as I walked by.

Karma
I was faced with a moral dilemma today but both the moral and dilemma were fleeting as I resolved them.
The dilemma: I went to get some food for lunch and asked my boss and another coworker if they wanted something. I knew my boss would say no and I assumed my coworker would say no because my other coworkers always say no. But she said yes. And I had no desire to get her anything.
The moral: I did end up getting her something. Shortly after, my boss left to get some lunch for herself and when she came back she said she saw Ted Danson.

NYC at Night
This is the view we see while at institute of Washington Square Park and Fifth Avenue with the Empire State building in the background.
If you don't believe me, here is a picture with me in the reflection.
And Charlye and Richard apparently.

Tuesday
Mondays and Tuesdays tend to run together this semester. Mondays I'm at work all day until class at night. I have about an hour to wind down before I go to bed just to be at work the next morning around 8. Following that, I have class until about 6. Needless to say, come Tuesday nights, I'm happy the day is over.
It is Tuesday night. I'm happy today is over :)
