"Sharks are not very intelligent and certainly don't hold grudges."

Ok. You ask, and I provide. Getting comments on my posts is seriously the best thing ever. BUT this will be my last post until after finals are over. Mechanical Engineering doesn't necessarily come naturally to me, so I'm going to be studying until my fingers bleed. Which doesn't sound like a good analogy, but totally is. Since my classes are all math and engineering, I just do a lot of practice problems to study. After enough practice problems, my pencil gives me blisters and genuinely might make me bleed. So BAM, analogy validated.

I'm going to go ahead and preface this post with telling you that I am extremely mad right now. Okay, maybe not mad, but in a VERY grumpy mood. I'm not going into tons of detail about why (if you do want to know, read my personal blog- email skyvansblog@gmail.com for the link), but I will tell you that I'm currently taking suggestions on how to be as petty and extreme as possible. There's a playground in front of my building and I legitimately considered kicking a toddler as I was walking home today. That's what kind of mood I'm in. And to make things worse, I can't even go to PetCo (which is where my best friend takes me when I'm upset because I LOVE cats) because I'm so busy. After I pump out this post, I've got a million and two things to get done. All of which involve things I'm not a huge fan of, i.e. studying for math, talking to residents about issues, chilling in my boss's office for funsies because no one signed up for check outs, nighttime studying, etc. So summary: I'm in a pissed off mood and feel like making lots of unfriendly comments about things like C... and... I tried to think of more things that I can be rude about, but that's really all I've got. I hate generating functions, but I adore my mildly autistic professor, so it balances out.

First things first: the title of this post is just a random and direct quote from a friend's oceanography book. Completely random and hilarious. I love sharks. To the point where when people ask me what my favorite holiday is, I tell them its SHARK WEEK!!!!! You know, on the Discovery channel? BEST. WEEK. EVER. They just play shows about sharks all week. It happens over the summer, I think in August, so get excited.

And I have a question for anyone who will respond: how do you feel about wearing jewelry that an ex got you? When I was asked this question by a then significant other, I definitely thought I would have no problem wearing stuff he got me after we broke up. It just occurred to me how weird it is that we had this conversation before thinking about breaking up. Maybe I shouldn't be so naive... But back to the point, now I think that wearing jewelry given to you by an ex is like living a lie. Why would I want to wear something given to me out of love when obviously things weren't what you thought they were? How do you feel about it? PLEASE comment this post with some opinions. Because I just might have a few necklaces and a pair of earrings that won't ever be worn again. Like I'm going to get new jewelry after finals so I'll have gold to wear because wearing my current stuff puts me in the worst mood. Wearing stuff C got me just makes me think about things like how I spent my last birthday crying on my couch alone because I was under the impression that "I can't wait until your birthday. We're going to do something fun." meant that we'd do something when obviously it meant that he was going to talk on the phone in the hallway for funsies all night. Or about the times I got scolded for being out late when obviously I should have been home so he'd have a place to stay after clubbing with the girls/hoes that "didn't care if he had a girlfriend." So those are my thoughts...

Another thing I feel exceptionally strong about, in a good way though, is kissing people on the cheek when you greet them. So many other cultures do this and I want it to go mainstream in America. I have a good friend, slash he's also the son of one of my professors- fun fact, that is from Mexico. After learning of my extreme excitement about cheek kiss greetings, we know do this every time we see each other. It seriously makes my day. Does it make my day even more when his dad is nearby so he sees that I'm cool with his culture and maybe that'll influence my grade? YES. Absolutely yes.

The other day, while I was in my Autistic professor's office, I saw that he was looking up articles about Yetti's. Do I even have to comment on this?! One of the greatest moments of my life was seeing my five foot tall, eighty year old professor googling Yetti's. (*Note: stats not confirmed, only estimated.)

I want to do a whole post about why I hate stereotypes about people from Texas. So I'm not going to spoil it with snide comments now, but be looking for that. Because I really, really do hate Texas stereotypes.

"Morgan, you're so negative. What are some things you love, other than rude comments about C and cheek kiss greetings??" you ask. Youtube videos of turtles. THAT is something I love.




^^fifteen seconds in is where the entertainment starts...



^^A CAT AND A TURTLE????? First of all, this a creepy cat. Why is it so frozen? What is it looking at? Why do I love it SO much?? And that's a fast little turtle!! I've watching this too many times for it to be considered normal....





^^that goldfish is a little trickster.



^^it looks like a little dinosaur!!!!!! Also, this kid obviously has no life. just like me...



^^bahahaha. i really hope you're finding these as great as I am... Or it could just be another example of how much of a creep I am...


Okay. I really have to get to work and then study. So I will see you all after finals. My last one is Monday...

With awkwardness, and creepiness,
Morgan
