Home

I am SO excited for this coming weekend! In exactly 48 hours I will be on a plane headed home for my brother's high school graduation. I'll be home Friday, Saturday, Sunday and I'll get back to Lakeside around 8 pm Sunday. Work load is a little more stressful than usual and I'm a little disappointed in missing out on Annie and Justin's wedding this weekend, but I couldn't be happier that this is the weekend I get to go home. :)

On a slightly more awkward level, you know those moments that happen and you want to laugh out loud, but can't? Those moments that you feel totally awkward at the mistake of another person and there's nothing you can really do about it. This morning I was making toast in the cafeteria and I set my knife down for like .02 seconds to grab something. When I went to grab it again, it was gone! I thought, Where could I have possibly put it? It's not like there are THAT many places I could have lost it in here... At that moment I looked over at the sweet New Zealander standing next to me and noticed that where she did not have a knife a minute ago, she now had one. So I waited, trying not to laugh, knowing that soon she would be done and my knife would no longer be held hostage. But after she spread her butter around, she quickly grabbed a jelly pack and started spreading jelly on her bread. So finally I ran around to grab another knife so I could do the same. But by the time I had grabbed my second knife she was already done and enjoying her toast...(*sigh*) I guess there's a reason moms teach their kids how to share and be patient at a young age - they hope that you'll actually get it and be able to practice it in situations like these when you're older... :|
