Those are the things that fill my Saturday: good coffee, books to be read, and lots of list-making to keep my brain on target. Admittedly, “write a blog” was not part of the plan, but it seems like its been too long not to just say something short and sweet.
Last night, I was rudely awakened by the sound of the apocalypse screaming through North Magbee Hall. A student managed to burn food in the kitchen at 4AM, thereby setting off the fire alarm and sending all the residents on a groggy early morning stroll out into the cold. I, personally, consider it a learning experience in which I realized that a fire in the building would almost certainly have a chance to destroy half of NoMag before I even put two feet on the floor. In spite of the supernaturally ear-splitting screech of the alarm, Clair had to come and alert Beth and me to get up and get moving. I remember being awake, and incredibly confused, but not at all concerned and having no intention of moving anytime soon. The power of the sleep gods is strong in the college student’s psyche; all the forces of nature, and possibly the fire department, are powerless to overthrow it.
A frightening truth, ladies and gentlemen.
Also frightening is the mercurial nature of the world these days. Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Two-minute thunder storms. What is earth coming to? Georgia has been tossing her inhabitants thoughtlessly from snow to sleet to sunshine to storms to all at once for weeks now. I am willing to accept her behavior if she will steadily begin to move in the Spring-ward direction. Summer starts to feel like a possibility as soon as flip-flops and lily-white toes begin to make an appearance where sneakers once reigned supreme. Rain and sun are both welcomed, but only if they bring 65 degrees of happiness with them.
This coming from a girl who loves cold November rain. Georgia is pushing me to my limits this year.
That’s all for now. I know it’s short. Homework calls! Happy Saturday, all.
