A Still Life Watercolor
Tuesday, April 11, 2006
I registered for fall classes today. My future is largely unplanned and I am ready to hit the ground running. Bring it on.
I am looking forward to all of my classes for the fall. More immediately, I am looking forward to my current classes being over. Not that I haven't enjoyed them or haven't learned very much (although that is sadly the case with one), it's just that I am ready to be done. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whoever created the length of a semester is a freaking genius. Long enough to learn and get into a subject in depth, but short enough so that you don't have a nervous breakdown waiting for it to end.
As I sat in one of my classes today and learned about early French Gothic architecture, I became ridiculously excited. I have a tremendous sense of freedom right now. Many things in my life are changing unexpectedly . . . let's throw Jennifer's life in a blender and see what flavor we get! At first I didn't quite know how to deal with it all. Surprisingly, I am fantastic.
You all know that I love rain. I would much rather live in eternal rain than sunshine if forced to make that decision. However, the sun has been shining today and it has been glorious. After a long winter of snow and sadness, comes the bright rays that perpetuate my feelings of freedom. I am empowered. I can do anything.
On top of the world.

Wait, do you mean that your flavor is fantastic? What does fantastic taste like?
The taste of sweetness.
With citrus.
Like a grapefruit JellyBelly.
Mmm, I LOVE grapefruit JellyBellys!
clearly the best flavor of jellybellys.
And clearly, the best flavor to be.
And you are clearly that flavor. I'm excited for your happiness.
(I got into both Urban Anthro and Photography! I too am an empowered Grapefruit JellyBelly!)
Congratulations! Very good news.
I love grapefruit. And now, after our conversation this afternoon, you know why I made that blender analogy.
Which, I actually like pretty well.
Sorry, clarification of lexically ambiguous statement:
You like the blender analogy?
Or like having your life thrown in a blender?
Or you like me knowing why you made the blender analogy?
Yes, it was rather ambiguous. And, I'll have you know that I had to look up "lexically" to find out what it meant. You should be proud of yourself.
"I like the blender analogy" was the original motivation behind that statement, but now that you mention it, I also like having you know why I made the blender analogy. I like it when we're up-to-date with each other. (And, I've been looking for Utah non-profits. I haven't been very successful. But, I shall continue.)
My first reaction to reading your comment was that no, I don't enjoy having my life thrown into a blender . . . but the more I think about it, the more I decide that it is a good thing. I don't like being too complacent. If my life isn't hard, I'm not learning anything. Yes, my life is changing and I'm not exactly comfortable with it; change is rarely comfortable. But, it will cause me to learn about myself and understand life a little more. Who doesn't want that? I shall perhaps, on occasion, long for my old way of life, but I would rather move forward than remain stagnant.
So, in conclusion, "yes" to all three statements.
