1. I live in
Tennessee, so when it snows, people go a little nuts. Fortunately, everything
shuts down at the rumor of accumulation, so I get to stay home in my pajamas
watching the pretty flakes from my window.
And we actually got accumulation, which around here is a BIG DEAL. Make
fun of Southerners for not knowing how to drive in snow, but at least we
appreciate it with the giddiness of 7-year-olds.
2. I attended
all my morning classes (night class canceled due to snow), and it looks like
this semester is going to be a lot of work. But this is possibly the last time
I’ll have to take 15 hours at a time, so I feel like there is a light at the
other end of this long tunnel.
3. I never
remember my calculator on the first day of classes. This has happened every
single semester since going into accounting. My brain just can’t process that I’m
in classes that require math.
4. I actually
have some good ideas for blog topics. Hopefully I’ll churn some out this
weekend, otherwise schoolwork will prevent me from actually writing them until…who
knows.
5. I’ve been
suffering through some rough seasons of Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix. I was rewarded with
some great season six episodes, and then another great episode from season
seven that I watched yesterday afternoon. “Critical Care” looks at the
injustice of a healthcare system that prioritizes patients based on how much
they contribute to society instead of the medical need. It really made me sad
because it hit so close to home. A person should receive the best treatment a
country can give, regardless of job. No one should have to choose between housing foreclosure or cancer treatments; no one should avoid the doctor because of insurance bureaucracy;
no one should lose their access to medical care because they lost their job. It’s
one of those issues about which I don’t care about the arguments. To me, it’s
black and white: if someone is sick or injured, the community should do all they
can to help.
6. In one of
my dreams this week, a villain from a former dream turned out to be a pretty
cool dude, and after trying to kill me, we hung out a bit. I love when my
dreams have reoccurring characters and awesome sequels. I really need to get back in the habit of recording my dreams.
7. I keep myself entertained before Mass with thoughts like this. (Don't worry: I only tweet after church.) I really think sacrilspeck should be a word.
