This moment finds me sitting in the Cox auditorium, very content. I'm waiting for five o'clock to roll around so I can schedule my classes for fall while trying to pay attention to the study session which will also be beginning at that time.
Why am I so content, then, you ask? Usually scheduling classes stresses me out. Not today. Know why? I've taken so many college courses that I'm in the first group to schedule after graduate students and graduating seniors. Pathetic? Maybe. At least I'll get good classes instead of how scheduling this pitiful semester went.
I'm also content because it's raining. It's 99% impossible for me to be stressed when I hear rain and/or thunder. This classroom is an optimal spot to admire the sounds of both. I mentioned something on Twitter about how much I liked hearing the National Weather Service severe weather alert, and someone told me that was strange. Well, I guess I already knew that was strange, but it's completely true. As a child (and I'm sure a couple of you remember this), one of my favorite things to do was to pretend that there was a big storm outside and turn off all the lights like the electricity went out and light candles everywhere. Honestly, I think the main reason I love candles so much is because they remind me of the power going out. Obviously, I'm not too crazy about the power being out after everything we went through with Gustav, but I still LOVE a good storm. Nothing puts me in a better mood.
