Have you ever noticed that some people have absolutely disgusting whispers? There is a couple sitting in front of me right now, chatting quietly, in whispers. I’m not sure why they are whispering, class won’t start for 20 minutes..maye the size of the room intimidates them. His whisper tone is wet, and it seems like he touches his lips closed more often than he needs to. And SHE, wow, she has this whiny little whisper that I’ve never even heard before. It’s like Marilyn Monroe, but whinier. I just want to lean over and say, “If you would just talk to each other in noraml tones, it’d be more enjoyable for everyone in the room. Promise.”
Anyway. I must be a little grumpy, having to be on campus for so long. It’s going on 7pm, and my last class hasn’t even started yet. It’s always a mystery whether or not we’ll stay until 8:30 or closer to 9- and again, another class that I feel I could do quite well in without attending.
The eating well has been going well. I don’t miss much- yet. I ate an entire salad at lunch today, with the hopes of not having to eat so many veggies when I get home tonight. I’ve made dinner most nights- and John usually just heats it up when he gets home. I have completely cut out food “out,” although I’ll work it back in moderately probably this weekend. But it got a little crazy there this past month, and right now, I feel like I could last a lifetime without ever going to Taco Bell again. I’m just crazy aware of everything I eat…but still feel like it isn’t quite precise enough. I’m hoping that cutting out chocolate and snacks and fast food on an almost daily basis and increasing the amount of veggies I use to fill myself up with, will have the desired effects.
I had another odd experience in my film class tonight. I was just glancing casually around the room, and I noticed a girl with brown, curly hair. I looked at her hair, and all of a sudden, was overwhelmed with the feeling of Christmas. Yes, as in, waking up early, snow falling and candy canes, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Christmas. It was so strong that I looked away, and then looked back to see WHAT about her hair could have catapulted me into that Christmasy feeling for no reason. And that’s all I got. No reason. It sounds stupid, and even as I’m writing it, it sounds stupider. But I swear, it was very, very odd. Very odd.
So yes. Anyway, I’m hoping the time passes quickly and I can make my way home to work on a few more things, make some dinner, and rest. I really might just rest, considering I have to be up a wee early for work tomorrow, and will probably have a rather long day. Lots of meetings and things- fun fun.
