Transformation

I recently redecorated our sunday school room. Well, saying I did it is a lie, because I totally had a lot of help. Anyway, we took this sunday school room from drab paneling to brightness. Here is a picture of what it looked like before.



Yes, this horrible paneling covered three of the walls (sorry if you like paneling) and the fourth wall was brick that had been painted over in an off white color. In the picture above, the white stripes are caulk where the pieces of paneling meet up. So, after much caulking, priming, painting and clean up, here is the finished product:


Drum roll please................................................


TADA!!! Now, when you walk into our sunday school room, you don't feel like you are walking into a cave. This project turned out way better than I though it would! I would like to thank all the people who helped make this wonderful room possible!!!

What does it take to be absolved??

So, over two years ago, I did something that I wasn't proud of. I think it doesn't matter because it's been over two years, right?? Well, I recently found out that my former coworkers, that I haven't worked with for two years are STILL talking about this thing. So here are my hypotheses about why they are still talking:
1)They really have nothing more interesting going on in their lives to talk about. Wow, must suck to be that boring...
2) all the people who like to create drama have left, so they are stuck with using old drama.
3) They really just miss me so much, that they have to still talk about me all the time.

So, analyzing number one, I'll say that these people always had something going on in their lives when I worked there. The staff have not changed that much, and I doubt the people have decided to just shrivel up and do nothing, so I'm going to say that this one is pretty much null.

Let's anyalyze number two. Well, I know that most of the people that still work there are the same, which means that most of the drama causers have not left. So surely, there should be plenty of drama going around; enough that they don't have to recycle drama from over two years ago, right?

So that leaves number three. Since the other two are void, I'm going to have to say this one must be true! lol. I don't really care if they miss me or not. It just bothers me that people are still talking about me and trying to drag me into stuff when I'm not even in the picture any more. There has got to be someone or something more interesting than me. Talk about that!!!

Independence?

Ok, this is something that's really been bothering me as I walk around campus lately.

When I was growing up, it was pounded into our heads that college was a time for independence. You know, a time to go out there and show the world what you're made of! To prove Mom and Dad wrong (you can live on your own with out screwing up your life). To make your own choices, and not have to answer to anybody!

Am I wrong??? Did they just teach me this and no one else.

So, here's my question. If college is all about being an independent adult, then why are so many people walking around in Dora The Explorer, Spiderman, Batman, Elmo, etc. Backpacks???? Aren't those for KIDS?

I mean honestly. Everytime I sit down and watch one of these shows with Caleb, I want to kill myself. You know they don't watch the shows. Do they do it so people will think they're cool?

Listen up Juvenile Backpack Wearers-- Those of us who are independent adults do not think you are cool! We just think you are stupid.
