The latest

I got the postcard from Millionaire almost two weeks ago. Sorry for not updating. I am not needed as a contestant. I'm pretty OK with it. The whole two weeks I was waiting I kept thinking that I didn't really want to go, but also that maybe I was just kidding myself and trying to talk myself down in case I wasn't accepted. But when Michael called me from home to tell me I hadn't gotten I was just like, Oh well. I think this was largely due to a couple of near sleepless nights of anxiety associated with just thinking about being on national television. In any case, I won't be going on, nor winning a million dollars.

In other news, we had college days yesterday, which included getting up at 3:30 to leave at 4:00 for Washington Adventist University (formerly CUC). We had a pretty good (really long) day. At least it was quite a bit better than my last college days experience there three years ago. And by the way, yes, this is my fourth year teaching. How did this happen? I'm not quite sure. Sometimes I have to really think through it chronologically to believe it. I'm starting to forget names from my first two years. And not be able to remember who was in what class. I expect this will only get worse.

Tonight we're going to Cirque Del Soleil (or however it's spelled) with the gymnastics team!

Tomorrow is homeleave! We're flying to Tennessee! I'm going to see my family! My sister and her husband bought a house! I'm going to help paint the living room!

That is all.

Thank you, Ben

Today Ben Yancer texted me to tell me I should check out mylifeisaverage.com. He promised I would not be disappointed. I've been laughing out loud a lot since then. Here's maybe my favorite:

Today, I was standing around waiting for my friend, when a businessman walked by on his phone and said "I don't care how hard it is, just stick it in!" I whispered to myself "That's what she said." The man heard, stopped walking, came back to me and high-fived me. Then continued walking. MLIA.


Go forth and have a laugh. It's Monday, after all.
