The last couple of weeks have been crazy. At work, I've been sitting at the front desk (today was the last day, hizzah!), which has been interesting. Pam (Beasley--Halpert?!) and I are totally bonding over our share of receptionist craziness.

Right now I'm in an open access lab in wisenbaker, which is an engineering building. Thus, the great majority of people in here are...engineers. I'm not really sure I like it, because I get many a weird look from these people. I think some of them are trying to figure out if I'm an engineer student too (ha!) or a poser. But oh well.

This is pretty much the lamest post ever but we are leaving now in pursuit of Zachry. Which reminds me of Zachry Snackry.

"please don't stop the music"

Today was a really nice and relaxing day. I don't have too many of those, so it's nice to cherish them when they come along! Tyson picked me up and took me to campus this morning, so I didn't have to ride the bus. :o) When I got to work, there was a golden stapler on my desk, but I didn't know what it was. So I asked Janie when she came in, and she told me that Kevin made them for everyone in the office! Then I noticed that it was on a little stand and it said "2008 BIZZY." Like the Dundies. But Bizzies for the Business Office. Pretty much made my day! So I brought it home and put it on my desk. Work went by really fast too; I was moving files and kept busy, which was really nice. Then I finished a project on campus and turned it in. When I got to the bus to go home, it was full--so I was going to have to wait for the next one. But the people in front squeezed together so I could fit. It was a nice feeling. When I got home, I just relaxed all afternoon. Super great.

I've decided I really do not wish to be an engineer. Not that I ever wanted to be, but it just seems really crazy. I've watched Tyson get frustrated with his homework all night and it looks intense. I feel really bad because he scrunches up his face and makes mean faces at his computer, but it's really cute. I don't want to laugh out loud, but some of the faces are pretty funny. But I try not to actually laugh though, because he's super sad and frustrated.

That's sadly pretty much it. I'm getting excited about the holidays though. :o)

Tyson, Sooner, and me at the OU/Baylor game last weekend. When they were still #1...

"that you could have peace, like you've never known..."

So this week went by super duper fast. I always consider Thursday the last day of the week, since I don't work on Fridays :o). On Monday, everyone in the office (except the student workers and myself) had a Staff Development Retreat. I really wasn't jealous, except for the fact that they got a rib-eye steak and baked potato for lunch. I know this because they sent a total of four emails listing the lunch menu over the past month.

Tonight was our last night of dance lessons, and it was definitely my favorite. We got to dance around a little, and then we learned the waltz. It was a little strange because apparently Tyson looooves the waltz and I was not as great at it as he was. Oh well. Then we learned a spin, another cool move, and then the Wranglers performed Jitterbug for us. It was pretty much awesome.

So on Tuesday I was walking to work from the parking lot, and I was praying about my week and I asked God to give me a sense of urgency to finish my three papers that I had not yet finished. I was beginning to stress myself out, because I could not get motivated to finish the first and start the other two. Fast forward a few hours, when I check my eLearning mail, and discover an announcement from my prof that since power is back in Houston, all deadlines are reinstated according to the syllabus (these papers were all due September 30th, but because of Ike, he moved everything to December). My first reaction was, "I hope I don't have to q-drop this class," but my second was definitely mild fascination with God. I mean, really. That was definitely the most effective way to get me to work on them though. God must have been like, ok Hailey, you asked for it! Luckily I have the most amazing and kind boss ever (who also had jury duty the next day), because she let me not come in on Wednesday. So I stayed home and finished everything at 11:52pm Wednesday night. It also motivated everyone in my group to get their work finished, because we are now caught up on everything!

Well, I must depart now. Have a happy weekend for me, since I have class tomorrow 9am-6pm! :o)

i miss my external hard drive :o(

Tyson is trying to convince me that I have webbed toes, which I most certainly do not.

It's crazy how quickly time seems to be going these days. It's already October! Soon we'll be in cooler weather :o) yay! Work is going pretty well, I'm staying busy and time passes pretty quickly there now. I think some new people will be coming in soon, so change is around the corner, which might not be too bad necessarily.

Classes are definitely keeping me busy...well one in particular. I probably should be working on homework, but oh well. It can wait a few minutes. I think the work of one of my classes is more than my other two put together. Probably, because I feel it's the only thing I ever work on. Yay flash projects.

That's really all that's going on in my life. I'm going to the Baylor/OU game in Waco tomorrow and I am looking forward to seeing us not lose for a change. That will happen later tomorrow evening. Maybe an upset will occur. Herman and I are still doing well. The Chevrolet people sent me a sad letter about a recall on him, but he went to the doctor/dealership and he told me that he feels much better now. I think that's all for now...
