Discovery #4

I can't leave somewhere when a guy is playing guitar.

There is currently a guy friend of mine at my apartment playing guitar and singing.  Despite the fact that I'm fighting off sleep, I can't get up and go to bed.  I just can't miss any small bit of this.  The simplicity is beautiful.

Lesson #3

I do my best drawing when I throw myself at it.

I'm an art minor, and taking a drawing class.  I was very hesitant about the class because I've never been strong at drawing.  I've been realizing over the past few months though that the less I care, the less detailed I am at the beginning and the more I just do it, the better it is.  Though there isn't an "Apple+Z" command (that's "Undo" for all you HP people...), and quite a few things you can't physically erase, there is hardly ever anything you can't fix.

So slather it on! and adjust the details later!  At least in drawing...

Discovery #2

I discovered that Patrick Daughters is one of my favorite music video directors.

I'm normally terrible at remembering names and who did what.  I also don't watch as many music videos as I should.  I'm getting quite into them and thinking that perhaps that is what I should do for the rest of my life.  :-D   So for a girl who struggles to remember names and works, knowing a music director and that I like their work, it's a big step in the right direction.

Lesson #1

Sometime last week:  I need to learn that Converse are not good rain shoes.

Today: I learned not to get upset over getting my shoes and feet wet.  It's not worth it.  Instead, I'm thankful for the fact that I own (multiple pairs of) shoes.  I'm thankful that even if I do get my shoes soaked and feet wet, I most likely won't get sick because I have dozens of warm dry shelters at my disposal.  Instead of cursing the rain, I should embrace the wonderful nature.  I should ponder where it's all kept, where it floods from and whether God will let me swim in that storage once I leave this earth....

In addition to that, I've also realized that if I look out the window in the morning and the ground is wet, I may as well put my rain boots on first thing...

Something New

As evidenced by the lack of posting on my blogg, I'm good at forgetting to write here. I come up with ideas, think about it, but then never get it up here. In an effort to remedy that, I have come up with an idea (which I came up with weeks ago) that will get me on here everyday.
They say you learn something new everyday. Being a college student, this should be especially true for me. Therefore, I have decided that everyday I am going to account for something I've learned. It may be technical, whimsical, my own opinion, or something we all already knew. In addition to these daily bite-size bits of wisdom, I will hopefully add in longer entries when they occur to me.

Love and hope to you all.
