Yesterday I had an interesting..um, experience? I don't really know what to call it. I got out of my first class a little early. So I went to my next class in the JSB auditorium to wait for it to begin. For those who don't know, this auditorium is huge. Probably one of the biggest on campus, if not the biggest. I picked one random, cozy looking seat and sat down. A couple moments later, I noticed, (this is going to be hard to describe), a girl who was sleeping on the ground in the row in front of me, tucked under the chairs so half of her was coming in to my aisle and overtaking my foot space. Her feet were coming through and her elbow. She even stretched and grabbed my foot in the process. AUGH! What do you do? So I just sat there and tried to ignore this weird stretching girl who was clearly not caring about the fact that people were coming in and sitting down all around her. About 10 minutes later, she finally got up onto her knees, on the ground, looked around for awhile. (Don't look at me, don't look at me, I don't want to know why you are there...) Then, she turns and looks straight at me. "um, do you know what class this is?" She asks. Yes. It is anthropology. "Oh....pause.....That's not my class." Who would have guessed. "Um, is it a big class?" YEAH! We're in the freakin auditorium!! "Oh, that sounds fun...." FUN? She then turns around and sits down in a seat. Wait, I thought this wasn't your class. She sits there for about 10 minutes, still looking around with her dazed expression, and then gets up and leaves, crawling over all the people who have since filled in. Yeah, weird.
This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers. This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...
