1) I got my car back
2) I got a Flat Stanley in the mail, and he is going everywhere with me this week
3) Spanish 3 is wearing on my nerves. I think I want to vacation to PA where you can drive for miles and never see a single person (besides maybe a few Amish people walking in a field)
4) I’ve been riding Sky a lot. It’s going well.
5) I LOVE FREEDOM CHURCH!
I love them. Reference books (and handbooks), I mean. There are not many things that I enjoy more than learning new things. I’m currently working on expanding my reference book collection. According to me, a reference book can be anything from a dictionary to The Original Girl’s Handy Book. Seriously the “Handy Book,” as I like to call it, has so much useful information in it. My favorite common reference books are probably rhyming dictionaries and thesauruses. They go hand in hand with my obsessive love of words.
Speaking of words, my dear aunt sent me a link to the most fantastic website.
It’s : www.savethewords.org
On this website, you sign up, and adopt words that are so unused in our everyday conversations that they are slowly becoming extinct. Spellcheck already thinks that they do not exist. Here are some of my favorites:
frutescent: relating to or having the characteristics of a shrubbery
queritate: to ask
supellectile: relating to furniture
Go check it out!
Today was our first day of off-campus senior lunch. We decided to have a picnic since none of us have any money to spare. It actually turned out to be the best decision that we could have made, and we had much more fun than we would have had at a fast food restaurant. It was an interesting and very cultural experience. haha.
The six of us (me, Evan, Erin, Kathryn, Kendall, and Will) piled up in two cars, and drove over to Dellinger. There, we feasted (seriously, there was so much food) on PB&J sandwiches, mac n’ cheese, fried mushrooms, cold grapes, tiny pies, and country time lemonade out of a cute little pitcher. Really, it would have been picturesque if not for the green pond, the goose poop-covered gazebo, and the geese honking at us for food remnants.
The highlight of the picnic was probably when this older (and very sweaty) guy rode his (purple) bike onto the bridge that leads to the gazebo. He looked kind of sketchy, so I was pretty much just sitting there praying that he wouldn’t kidnap us. Kathryn, and her un-cautious self (I love you Kathryn) decided to ask this sketchy old man to take a picture of all of us sitting on the cute little picnic blankets. Scary. He took a couple of pictures, and proceeded to tell us his amazing weight loss story in an accent that must have come out of “West Side Story.” Seriously, he said “Yous Guys.” Yeah. He lingered for a little while (talking nonsense) and then went on his merry way. It was the most bizarre thing that happened all day. We couldn’t help but laugh after he left…and then we continued laughing for the rest of the day. It never ceases to amaze me how easily amused that we are.
