oh school.

I sure started school out with a bang.

Slept right through my first class.

Oye.

Waking up has always been a great struggle for me (just ask my mom. She called me every morning my first semester to wake me up). I swear I am a motivated person...I'm not trying to slack off, I really don't know what happens when morning rolls around. I'm pretty sure my alarm clock went off this morning yet I have ZERO recollection.

But look at what I found!

When the alarm goes off, the puzzle pieces pop up and you have to put them all back together before the alarm will stop. Genius. I think I have just found the solution to my sleep demons.

I also like this next one...

The propeller shoots in the air and the alarm blares until it is put back in place.

It really might be worth the investment.

Anyway, after waking up late I rushed to school. At a red light I made the very unfortunate mistake of glancing into my rearview mirror. A gruesome scene met my eyes. (If you have a week stomach, turn away).

A boy (probably a fellow BYU student) was in the front seat of an SUV flossing his teeth. You are probably wondering what was so gruesome about this. Let me explain. After he finished flossing...HE LICKED THE STRING CLEAN! That's right, he willingly consumed all the plaque-covered treasures hiding between his teeth! I thought I was going to puke. Seriously sir? Is skipping breakfast such a big deal you have to make up for it in this vulgar fashion?

I submit to you, it is not. That is one vulgar meal replacement.

inevitable transformation

Ever wanted to watch someone transform from sane to insane? Well, stay tuned my friends because I have a feeling the transformation is inevitable. Starting tomorrow I will be taking six classes and working full time. I hope I can stave off a breakdown for at least a couple weeks.

Oh, and I have to finish four essays and film a video by September 15th for my teaching application.

Shoot.

Poor Conlin, I'm not going to be very fun. Also, I am not going to be a very good friend until...pretty much until I graduate. So don't think I'm trying to avoid you lovely people, I'm just going to be very unavailable.

And I'm not complaining, really. (Although I am coming off rather whiny...sorry).

I wish you all the best. Adieu until next year! (But seriously...)

just some things i love...

I used to listen to this song as I walked to school thinking about Conlin when we first started dating...I would have denied it back then, but I guess I can now admit my Conlin-obsession without embarrassment (Conlin still might tease me). Anyway, if you like this song at all you should look up others by 'The Weepies', they have a bunch of good ones.



This next video...Oh. My. Goodness. I don't care if she's acting or not, this is a treasure.



And lastly, meet my newest inspiration...I'm going to try her little dance/song combo before I leave for school, see if it makes homework/no sleep/work less depressing.

blog title

I titled my blog, "be my therapist" because I think it's therapeutic to have an outlet. But every time I log on, it appears at first glance to say, "be my rapist." Yeah....not exactly what I'm going for. Maybe I should change it because I doubt it's very therapeutic for readers to think I'm requesting such a vile act. Whether or not I change the title, let it be known I want nothing of the sort! Hopefully none of you have felt violated by my blog title...

That's all.

invention

So..I thought of an item I either need to buy or invent-a safe that only opens once every 24 hours. You could put all your junk food inside and then once a day when you're feeling some sort of self control open it up, take out a reasonable amount, and then shut it before you have time to think twice. If you want to binge later, too bad..you have to wait another 24 hours (and yes, I realize you could still drive to the grocery store or various fast food chains...but it's a start). If you guys know where I could buy one of these magical creations, let me know. I would really like to put an end to this love affair I'm having with sugar. And I think I would do quite well with self-control not being an issue.
