College Happenings

Things are back in full swing around here, and as such, life is getting strange again.

Homework is homework. The interesting thing about going to a school full of nerds is that, well, everybody studies. If you don't study, you end up at BH. Or at least, you end up NOT HERE.

Don't take that to mean that nobody parties. One of the girls on our floor and her friend came back last night more than a little snockered, and it took two RAs to get things calmed down. Things got better, but those RAs didn't get much sleep, and the girls were feeling it this morning.

Also this morning, my RA/old roomie stepped into the shower only to be greeted by a 3 foot tall cow statue.

This cow, Daisy, has been passed around campus since September, starting in the administrative offices and making her way to the dorms of late. Yesterday, she was downstairs. This morning, she was in our shower.

Also recent: more stupid people making other, slightly less stupid people (like myself) very frustrated. Some people should just be banned from speaking. It's not healthy for them to stick their feet down their throats so effectively.

I need topics. If you have any ideas, you should really email me.

Well, all for now. Bye.


Wouldn't marathons be a lot more interesting if after the race started, hungry wild animals were released onto the course? Tigers would be fun.

The confusion continues. Tuesdays seem to be the days for odd discoveries. Hmmm ... Much stress. Big presentation for work tomorrow. I'm downright scared right now, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that I have NO IDEA what to expect. On the bright side, in 24 hours, it'll all be over. Thank goodness. Then there are just papers left, but papers I can handle. And a presentation for senior design, but that's a group thing. Ten days and it's just finals week. I like finals week. Things are oddly easier during finals week.

The Ashley Files: The Gerbil Story

I'm not totally sure what spurred this memory, but this is a story that needs to be told. Over the years, I've had a lot of random jobs. It started when I was young and glued pictures for bridge reports (my family's version of "working with the family business). I had a job at Subway one summer (easily my least-favorite job), was a bridge inspection field technician with the family business, worked in a church camp kitchen, and was a lab assistant. The summer I started this blog, I was working at the school's day care. It was my second summer there. The job was certainly not what I was hoping to do the rest of my life -- but for a nineteen-year-old it was decent money and okay hours. And hey, a couple times a week I got to hang out at the pool and get paid for it. Not a bad gig. [My dad also referred to it as the "world's best birth control" and he may have been right.] I don't remember a lot of the ins and outs of that summer -- most

2019 Year In Review

It was awful. Fine. It wasn’t all bad. I have a niece now. My job is pretty awesome. I like my residence fine. I … avoided all parking tickets? But wow, was there a lot of garbage in the meantime. An unexpected funeral for a friend who died decidedly too young. Family members in and out of (and back into) the hospital. And throughout the last third, the specter of cancer hanging over everything. While a part of me keeps saying, “There is no need to dwell on all the crap, Ashley,” the rest of me is almost too exhausted for optimism. 2020 has potential, yes. Buckets of potential. Oodles of it. 2020 is chaotic neutral staring us in the face. Switzerland with anger issues. Taunting us with its possibilities. RIP 2019. 2020... Please don't be a jerk.
