Sooo... today walking around campus i had my ipod on shuffle... i had to go back to my dorm because i left my art stuff. I felt like being lazy so i decided to ride the elevator, something i rarely do. I realized when i was waiting for the elevator that i was listening to Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield. I held my breath as i waited for the elevator and i replayed her music video in my head. I was hoping that maybe this elevator ride would be just as exciting as hers.... however... i was thoroughly disappointed when the squeaky door slid open revealing to me one of the boys in the dorm that i try to avoid with all my strength. Not that i dont like him, he is a great person (so i've heard) he just reminds me of Johnny Depp in The Secret Window. Well he was looking directly at me so i couldnt redirect myself so it looked like i was just walking by... therefore i got on the elevator. The image i had of a Natasha Beddingfield inspired ride to my dorm room was slowly materializing into a scene from The Secret Window where Johhny Depp is starting to have conversations with himself in the mirror. I, on one side of the small elevator, stood staring at the boys back with a sheer look of terror which, after catching a glimpse of it in the mirror, turned into a fit of laughter that drowned out Unwritten playing through my headphones. I was on the floor by the time we reached the third floor.. i couldnt keep myself up... i know that boy walked out that elevator thinking i was the crazy one.... maybe now he will start avoiding me....yea i kno... that was random... as is everything i say......

on to a more pressing matter.. i decided to make this blog which will be full of the many random and sometimes meaningful experiences in my life... i know how fun... one would ask why anyone in their right mind would care about i do from day to day... i want to know the same thing! We will see just how exciting and inspiring my blog turns out to be together. But first thing is first.. i had to name this thing... i could not think of anything to save my life.... and then i realized i was thinking too hard... who really cares what its called... after about four hours i didnt even care to have a blog anymore because it was too hard to find a name! After a few suggestions (my favorite being from my cousin "Bighead Bri Bri Bodacious Blizzogg of Blatant Brilliance Brought by Brownies and the Baylor Bears..") i decided to just write the first thing that came to my mind. And of course the first thing that came to my mind was already taken ("For the Easily Distracted").... so the second thing that came to my mind won.


One of the main reasons i made this blog was to share with all of those who do not have the pleasure of seeing me all the time to stay connected with what i have been doing. It has been difficult trying to tell each person individually everything that i want them to know when i am either at school or in the process of doing something else. So here is my first objective:

SHARE MY EXPERIENCES IN FERRIER, HAITI

There. Cant be anymore straightforward than that. So instead of making this freakishly long (i know its already long bear with me) i am going to break down my experience into small portions... one post for each day. And since i wrote down a lot in my journal while i was there it will be a mixture of my thoughts during the trip as well as looking back on the trip as a whole. ENJOY!
