Hello!
Today has been deemed a great day. Why you might ask?
Well... let me tell you!
1. I didn't wear a coat to class. AND I got to wear sandals for the first time this year!!!!
2. Its a beautiful life.
3. Spring break is EXACTLY 1 week away!
4. Will's description of catching a chicken:
"It's imperative that you grab the thing by the softest and most delicious part..."
5. Will in general.
6. I found out today who my french ancestors are, and shall now tell you! They were French Hugonauts (sp?), A.K.A French Calvinists who fled persecution, and came to America. (I am a huge history nerd, and this stuff gets me going... bear with me). This means that, despite the fact that I'd never heard of the Christian Reformed Church and didn't know much about John Calvin before coming to this school, some of my ancestors were actually original followers of the school's name-sake.... Weird ay?
7. Ace of Base is playing on my stereo.
8. I got to dance today.
9. I plan to play the piano later tonight.
and
10. ONLY 1 MIDTERM LEFT!
So... as you can see, today is a most splendid day.
I had an assignment to turn in for my dance class today. It was truly life-changing. I discovered- through an expertly crafted mathematical point system- that I am "in good health". Its good to know that i'm bursting with nutrients... The assignment was a survey where you earned positive points for healthy eathing, and negative points for excess consumption, or eating junk food. As I read the descriptions of the different "health zones", I began to imagine a person representing each one. The lowest, and most unhealthy classification (-60 - 0 points) would be represented by an obese man in his mid 40s. He is overflowing the constrains of his armchair. One of his hands is extended towards the remote control, and clutched in the other is a box of twinkies, though we could substitute a can of lard and/or spam. These foods, I have decided, are in fact Satan; processed, enclosed in colorful packaging, and labled "edible". This, however, is only my opinion. Eat the crap if you so desire... Anyways, the middle categories aren't important as they rather accurately describe the body of the population. Envision, however, the overly-healthy person. There was actually a picture on this survey of a woman who I presume fit the category of "overly healthy" (or as we would say, "a most disgusting person"). The woman in the picture was a sort of freak combination of anorexic fitness model/hair-care commercial-girl. Her fitness points are probably off the chart; her body perfectly toned (but overly skinny), skin glowing with the aura of health. And, of course, her long hair and sparking eyes glowing as if she were a magical sea nymph plucked out of some ancient Greek myth.... Now I don't know if there are magical sea nymphs with glowing hair and eyes in Greek mythology.... but you get my point. If my "fittness points" were that high, I would immediately run out and buy a box of Satan twinkies, devour every one, and scold myself for being anal, abstemious, and vain....
But perhaps i'm over-reacting...
hehehe...
I love you all. Sorry I haven't written you in a while. I will work on that....
I have one other fact that I wish to made known: Men are much more straightforward than women.... that is all.
Oh, and also, if you know me pretty well, please go here and play this game. It'll take all of 2 minutes.
