Things to Write About

     I don't do very much, my life here is very routine, and I don't interact with very many people, so I don't have much to put here.  The only things coming up I can think of are the upcoming snow fall and the thanksgiving dinner I've already been invited to.  Also Saturday I'm going to a dinner, and Sunday I'm hearing a seminar, but other than those I really do little.  So my one thought is if anybody has any questions that somehow haven't been answered, if you could comment this post or the whole blog, or to me myself, I could answer them.  I don't know if I've covered everything you'd want to know about me or Alaska.  If there's anything, please ask.  Or if there's something completely off the wall you want to inquire about, go ahead.

      Today I went for my monthly shopping at Fred Meyers where this time I bought Kleenexes, shower products, and oral products.  While there, I learned that apparently prestige and premium shampoo are different, and that that discrepancy merits separation.  Were it up to me, I'd line the shampoo aisle gradually from value price to premium while grouping brands.  I suppose though, arbitrary differences must need be considered.

     Since the time between arrival and departure is about an hour I was planning to go to T-Bell for a taco, and sit there wasting time.  However, I wasn't hungry, and instead went inside the Star Bucks already in Fred Meyers where at the island for straws, beverage condiments and napkins I found vanilla powder next to the nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar shakers.  I wasn't aware this existed nor that there was a demand for it.  I didn't try it, but found it interesting.  It was about 45 degrees outside, so guess what I ordered?

     If you guessed a warm drink, you're wrong.  I got a strawberry smoothie.

    I was going to get a big filter while there so that I would be better at filling my water bottle since my source of water would just be in my room rather than downstairs outside of Moore.  However, after a lot of searching and eventual discovery of their location, I had doubts about their worthwhileness.  It would take a long time to fill it, during which I'd have to pause for any passerby filling a smaller bottle.  Plus water's heavy.

     Any prayers for my job situation would be very much appreciated.

  1. Can you see Russia from your school?

    What kind of shower products did you buy?

    How could you not get a salted caramel mocha at Starbucks?

  2. These blogs are FANTASTIC. I love how you describe your thought process for even everyday tasks. I think blogging is such a blessing to introverts, particularly in explaining themselves and their perception of life.

    Questions:

    Why linguistics? Tolkien?

    How are you doing with the isolation that so many freshmen feel?

    How scary are Alaskan roads?

    Do you drink tea?

    Are you easily affected by the darkness that is so much more prevalent in Alaska during winter?

    We miss you! We're rooting for you! I'll be praying for your job search.
