Gabbyations

Well, today hardly warrants an entry is was so uneventful! But I have to post just for the heck of it.

I spent the morning on the metro. A 45 minute commute to church turned into over 2 hours due to construction delays and disorganization so I spent “church” in a dark tunnel unable to escape and WALK to church. It was frustrating. While I sat there I engineered an entire plan whereby metro could have efficiently handled the construction…but alas, I have no plans to work for them. In fact, I don’t think they hire white people. Not sure why, but I have NEVER had a white driver/attendant/metro police… NADA, it’s like the unspoken rule you must be black to work for them… hmmm. Strange. Disclaimer: I draw no connection between the inefficiency and disorganization of metro today and the race of the people running metro. I’m sure it was a evil plot to keep me out of church this morning and had nothing whatsoever to do with race =)

Um, so yeah, I came back and went grocery shopping when metro released me from its dark dungeons. Came back to the house (‘nother beautiful day, btw) and talked to Lisa for a while which was good… its hard cause I always feel like I can’t say too much or she starts disagreeing and she doesn’t aggressively disagree…it’s just awkward when she gets this look an I know she’s disagreeing with me… but she disagrees with the strangest things… like last night we were discussing standardized tests and she wanted to argue professors are completely objective in grading essays. I was like, ok, whatever. She’s a real idealist and yet very unopinionated in some ways. I think her opinion is that we should all just be nice and get along and anyone who holds a strong opinion is in the wrong. Typical moderate—think they’ve discovered the “balance” in all areas of life. It limits our conversations… She’s has the “schoolteacher” look and feel and is very sweet, just not particularly easy to get to know I think. Either that or there’s not as much there as I expect… not sure…

Anyways, so since 2pm I have been on my bed with my laptop getting things on my ‘task list” accomplished. I did break to go cook and eat dinner. I decided that I would deny myself wasting 4 hours on the Super Bowl. It’s not as if I’m into the teams that are playing so it would just be entertainment. Instead I just kept the game tracker on my computer so I know what I need to know without being distracted by the tv. I plan to catch the end of it now. Not too exciting though…

I have gotten a lot done today..almost caught up on emails too… But I still planned to get one more week’s homework done to get ahead. Oh my goodness, it’s almost 10. Time has flown. Early morn tomorrow cause of crazy week w/work on Saudi Arabia. Well, write me please. I even added a cool link on the right column of the page. Html editing has its benefits=)
