And a Dash of Feminism for Flavor

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

:D I feel like I should be getting that embroidered on a pillow or something.

Anyway, my roommate and I have been battling my...ummm... bug condition? I guess that's a way to put it. I woke up one morning about a week ago now with this series of 8 or 9 bites on my arm in about a 3 inch space, and they REALLY burned when they got wet in the shower. So I slap some hydrocortizone on it, and forget about it. But I happened to mention it to Jessica and in the space of five minutes, the girl has me convinced I was attacked by a spider living in my clothing, I have bed bugs, or I could possibly have fleas or ticks or something else living in my bed. So naturally, I pulled all of my sheets and my mattress pad and did some major laundry. I'm really not worried because the bites are almost healed, but she's still freaking out a bit.

Check that out HERE. That's her amazing blog. Muy inspiring. She's going in to broadcast journalism, but her blog makes me think she should definitely be writing. Something. Somewhere.

I think things will be better now that's she has washed her sheets too. Either way, we are moving out in two weeks now. It's crazy that my freshman year of college is coming to a close. Wasn't it just yesterday I was packing to get here? And now I'm trying to figure out how in the world I'm going to get all this junk home.

And I'm wondering what it will be like with friends for next year. The roommate thing will be changing. Jessica is headed into her sorority house and I'm going to be reslife staff, and it will be a change to just be friends and not roommates. But I think it'll be good. And what about other friends? You know, the people I hung out with those first weeks of college aren't really even a part of my life anymore, and honestly I have about five people I'm interested in staying in touch with from this year. It will be so different to come back in the fall, and sort of start over.

Which brings me to my last point for this post, which is getting ridiculously long. Any thoughts out there on whether I should blog over the summer?? This blog is supposed to be about my college days. Is the summer a part of that? I was thinking maybe I would set the mandate of only blogging about things in context of college, but I don't want to miss anything substantial either. Opinions, as always, are appreciated.

  1. Where did you get that quote???

    Of course you should blog this summer, especially since you are planning on taking classes. Plus, as you will find out, summer is part of your educational experience. You may find yourself doing scut work all summer to support what you want to accomplish academically.

    Don't forget, you are also one very gifted writer. You need to continue to hone your skills, even if journalism is no longer part of your career plan.

  2. Sorry to hear about your bug infestation. I sure hope it's over and done with now that you've washed your linens. As for blogging over the summer, I think it would be nice. I really enjoy reading your blog, and I honestly check to see if you've written something new every time I get on the internet from my laptop. Besides, you'll be taking college classes this summer, so I think its only appropriate that you blog about how much different Lincoln Land and Mizzou are. And I'll try to keep the "at Mizzouuuuuu" comments to a minimum. Can't wait to see you for the summer!
