Highlights of Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day.  The day of love.

I actually really love Valentine's Day, even though I have been single for every V-Day in my 24 years of life.  But it's fine!  Making Valentine's Day boxes filled with candy and getting Power Ranger and Pocahontas Valentine cards were some of my best elementary school memories! 

So here are the highlights of my Valentine's Day:

There I was, sitting in History of Christianity writing notes.  The sound of my professor's voice filled the room as he explained veneration of saints and angels.  "Is there a Bailey in here?" a male voice is coming from the doorway.  I look over and what do I see?  That's right, a half-naked man dressed up as Cupid, complete with wings and a quiver of arrows.  Awkward silence as everyone stares toward the door.  Nope, no Bailey in this class.  "Really?  There's no Bailey in this class?"  Again awkward silence.  My professor:  "Well, we were just talking about angels so this is perfect timing."  Awkward...good luck on finding Bailey, my friend!  The things that some people will do...Glad I don't have a weird boyfriend to send half-naked men to deliver love notes to embarrass me in front of my entire class!

This morning, somebody left four roses in a jar full of Hershey's kisses at our doorstep with a little poem saying how great the girls in my apartment are.  So nice!

And my Mom and Dad sent their annual Valentine's Day treat bag, so now I have far too many treats and far too much stress!  Not a good combination, but it's fine!

So there you have it!  Valentine's Day is great!  And it's not even over yet!!  So hopefully some more awkward or exciting things will happen!

Realizations From This Week

A Few Things I've Learned This Week

1.  Philosophy is so complicated that even when you don't think you understand it, you probably kind of do in a weird round about way.  That doesn't make sense, I know!  But that's how philosophy is! It doesn't make sense!  ...but it does...?

2.  Sometimes procrastinating is okay, because assignments are never as bad as you think they're going to be.  :)

3.  Overthinking is dumb.  Yeah...it is!  And I have this crazy talent for it!  :)

4.  Family is the greatest thing ever!!

5.  Even when I'm lost or confused or feel like nobody knows what's going on in my life (heck, I don't even know what's going on in my life!), there's always somebody around that does something so nice!  People are great!

6. Gelato is really really good! 

7. I still miss Australia and all the wonderful people there.

8.  Friends are so great!!  Never underestimate a sincere compliment!

9. I really love getting to know new people.  I always have, but I've just been reminded this week of how much I like it!

10.  Even though I have no idea where I'm going to be in a few months, it's okay!  The Lord has never let me down on what He would have me do and I know He won't now!

 So there it is!  I love the random reminders and soul searching that pops up every once in awhile!
