I have a friend coming to stay with me while in town for an interview.
Unfortunately, his arrival is right before the last final.
Of course, I am happy to host him, but feel like I should caution:

Welcome to Casa de Finals.
We've decorated with piles of papers everywhere.
Don't expect coherent conversation.
BYO clean sheets.

During busy times like finals, its important to plan timing carefully.

How long are you going to stay at the library?

Until I get hungry. Or kill someone.

Dating Difficulties, Explained.

How do you talk to a stranger? It's like trying to catch a falling star.

Each person has their own sense of the defining elements of the world. Finding an appropriate song for a hard of hearing child to follow the music and the lyrics seems like an easy enough task. Listening to multiple versions of Joy to the World to see which has the clearest voice is my personal definition of hell.

Living with a med student:

Me: Ugh, I have so much more work to do before I can go to bed.
Her: I have to go listen to lectures about diarrhea, starting with normal and moving to bloody.
Me: You win-- you always win.

Adapting to change is often difficult, especially in extremely stressful settings.
Dear Gmail, please don't change designs during finals week. I cannot handle it.

Teaching children what idioms mean (throw in the towel, stay on your toes, pulling my leg) makes me wonder how we ever understand what people are really saying.

Why is "You made your bed, and now you have to lie in it" a bad thing?
I'm going to start using it as a positive.
"Wow, you did all your work ahead of time... we'll, you've made your bed and now you have time to lie in it.'

Sometimes I think I am moving forward, technologically and musically.
Other times I check out Hootie & the Blowfish CDs from the library.

More signs I am losing my mind:
Searching all over my apartment for my insulin pump, kicking myself that I could have lost my most necessary item, only to discover that I was already wearing it.

Based on the sheer amount of news stories about philandering politicians, I wish the news would just switch to telling us about the ones that are still faithful to their spouses.
It might save us all some time.
