More of everything please!

That refers to the fact that I LOVE Chipotle. Even more than before. Why? Cuz Megan showed me the wonderfulness that is the "burrito bol". It is wonderful!! It's like 400 calories less than getting the burrito and it's still oh so yummy! I'm probably starting my blog off with food because I have not eaten yet today and need to at least THINK of food instead of eating it. If only I had a piece of gum in my pocket....

I'm currently sitting at a car dealership getting my poor little Colbie all fixed up. They said it wouldn't take long so I'm trusting these mechanics to not lead me astray. So here I sit on a couch waiting to hear the news on my car! Then I will truly be able to eat! OH Joy!

So I thought I'd ponder life while I sat here on this green leather couch, surrounded by skulls, western saddles, popcorn machine, and a coughing old man whose first words to me were "They could have at least made some popcorn." Then he preceeded to cough up his lung.... Oh Delano.. I love your small town charm.

Moving right along, I'm at the end of my 1st month back at Bethel! Woo! Hooray! Huzzah! Let down the balloons and streamers! Give me that banner of congratulations! Or not. I'm not doing so well. It's hard to stay on top of everything while working and trying to have a social life, and oh yah... working on that novel.... I've plum forgotten how to really be responsible when it comes to homework. That and I've chosen a lot of reading courses which takes much more time than anything else. And in my Chaucer class we are supposed to memorize the stuff in middle English! Believe me, it's harder than you think it'd be. My favorite class right now would have to be American Giants with Thomas Becknell, Dan Taylor, and Joey Horstman. Talk about hitting me up with a wonderful lineup of professors. They all have very different teaching methods, and that's what I love about them. We're almost done with Moby Dick and I've really enjoyed the "voyage" it's brought me on (Becknell would be gleeful for me using that term).

Let's see... what else. I'm not hazardously poor anymore. Phew. Thank goodness for taxes. It's hard to keep a savings though. I don't know if I quite get the point of a savings. Like for instance, I have money in there now and I'm very proud of that money. It is showing me that I've done something right for once! But now I'm getting the car fixed. So really... what was the point in putting money in the savings account? It seems silly to just keep money in there only to spend it again a few days/weeks/months later. I almost feel guilty taking it out of my savings. But then if you aren't using it for things like this, what is it really for? Comfort? Or is it feeding that need of greed? We hold on to our money like it's the thing that will save us, like we can bring it with us when we enter heaven, that somehow it makes us the most awesome person ever to have loads of it. Now being on both ends of the spectrum (being grossly broke and somewhat wealthy for a college student) I'm not sure if I wanna be wealthy. I'd just end up spending it cuz saving is stupid. Okay, not stupid, but redundant maybe? Who knows.

Alright, I've got no other really big news to say or divulge at this time. So... I think I'll go. Plus... I don't wanna be shutting out my new friend Hungry Coughing Guy. Eeeesh.
