Bullets of Randomness

Hi everyone.

There has been so much little things that have been happening that I'd like to remember so I'll bullet what's been going on. You'll probably be bored because it is my little life, but maybe you're like me and like to know what's going on in your friends' lives, in that case, read on.

Where to start??

• No goals for April, except to finish off the semester well. I'm devoting all my time to school work. I have 3 1/2 weeks left! (I don't have any exams during exam week, except we come in to meet our pen pals.) After this, one more year. I can see an end to this "season of life" and I don't mind! 

• I can say that I am a victim of credit card fraud :( Thank God the banks track this and Chase let me know right away and will send me a new card. I could not buy something in the Brockport Dining hall, and a few hours later shop at a Home Depot in Washington.

•  Y'all know that I tutor. Well lately, my little boys haven't been feeling like doing any work! I always bring them prizes, and if they finish their work, they get one-at least that was how I set it up to work. In reality, I come and they almost cry if they didn't finish their work because they know they won't get a prize so I tell them not to worry "you'll get a prize anyway! It's okay, I understand." Well there I went from being strict and nice to simply nice. They started slacking even more. This past week I did not give them a prize because their mom said not to because again they didn't finish their work. I feel like for the past few weeks they haven't been enjoying our time together, and it makes me sad, all because we start off on a "um Lesya, I didn't finish my homework note..." 

•  Moving on...last week I slept so well. I fell asleep in less than an hour and woke up to my alarm, not before. I thought, wow this is great. I spoke too soon. Monday night I slept over Nina's (because her husband was working and she doesn't like being alone) and did not sleep all night! At 3 am I fell asleep, but woke up shortly after, this continued for the rest of the night. Slept for a half hour, then woke up. I missed my first class to get some sleep in the morning, and even then couldn't sleep. I felt sleep deprived the rest of the day but made it through my night class. It was the worse in my 3:30 class where my eyes were just closing! It feels like torture a little bit. I have stopped drinking teas and coffee. Last night I did fall asleep quickly but constantly woke up in the middle of the night.

•  Even more random...I have been e-mailing one of my friends. That is how we "talk" and I love it. It's so cool to in the middle of the school day, open your e-mail to someone's message-so different from texting and we have such great conversations. I am thankful for that.  

•  I know I write about Leah so much. Today I told my mom that "you just don't know how much I love her." She is just the sweetest, smartest, cutest thing! Usually I don't see her all day, and by the time I come home I miss her so much. Today she told my mom,  "I love Lesya." (Maybe because I didn't sleep at home for the past two nights. I love hearing that :) Today she told me "Lesya we need to go to the store because I need to buy a chair and a table because I don't have one." Oh boy, not another Lena. 

• Lena. Oh Lena. This is what is on her list of "what she has to have" desires right now. Color Duck Tape. A Love PINK sweater. A North Face sweater.  Pink Legos.

• Another thing. I am currently reading through Genesis and the story or Joseph is just so eye opening every single time I read it. He had so much to complain about, but he didn't, at least we don't read of it. It did not seem that he pitied himself in his situation. I just think that story is just so powerful. 

• While in NYC Nick sent me a picture of this:

Earlier that week my Mom casually mentioned if I wanted chicks. Nope nope nope. Well over the weekend they got them. Now they are under a light in a box thing and everyone just loves them. I don't really care for them. My mom even loves them. I guess we got them for fun and probably won't keep them for being our egg supply, but we'll see.
