quotes from greg matte, speaking at breakaway

"so basically we were just putting the fun in dysfunctional"

"and my grandfather told me, just remember, us gray haired folks probably have shoes that are older than you are"

"just remember that when you're around someone older, they are wiser. they may not be as cool as you are, but there's a wisdom there."


5 signs that spring is in the air:

you wake up from a nap and its 7pm yet still light outside

your car becomes stifling hot, making it difficult to breathe when you first sit down inside

you want to wear a sweatshirt in the morning but in the afternoon you are burning hot

school seems to have been going on forever and all you want to do is be outside, not inside at class

things melt if you leave them in the car. on friday my deodorant melted because i left it in the car with my change of clothes while i gave a presentation. this is not cool, if you were wondering, and unfortunately beyond repair. i'm not sure what this says about my brand of deodorant. i mean, thats what they advertise you know, the hotter i am, the more it should work right? apparently, at some temperature level it simply just melts into one big mess. but you dont hear them advertising that now do ya? i think they should put a warning on the package.



5 random things said to me this week:

"so were one of your parents in the military? you seem very disciplined..." (we were playing mafia, and i'm like the narrator...i dont get any more relaxed. so this really caught me off guard)

"i didnt know you liked country music" (its the guitar, really, what can i say)

"so are your parents prolific(??) protestants or devout catholics to have so many kids?" (excuse me?)

"aren't you going to have a bunch of kids some day?" (in a word, no. but thanks for playing)

"in my 10years at a&m, that was the best project i've ever seen, and that presentation....it was just perfect. what a way to go out!" --my professor who is leaving after the semester is over (i think there was a few tears in his eyes....niiice)


in case you were curious, an update:
this week i attended EVERY class of mine, thats right perfecto attendance.
also this weekend, i wrote roughly 20% of one paper, and 40% of the other paper.
and, two days this week we worked on our project.

unfortunately, all that classing yielded zero quotes. i'm not sure if i'm just so bored that nothing is funny to me anymore or if the classes were just not that funny.

countdown to graduation: 34 days
number of days left to go to class: 6 days
remaining assignments/tests in undergraduate degree: 16
