Tired. Can’t think.

some thoughts on today:

parents generally suck.
yes, i realize this is probably your princess’s first time away from home and you want everything to be perfect, but relax. breathe. go with the flow a little.

i am not your personal taxi.
i am donating my time for free and there are 110 other students (and their parents) coming in this week. 2 more minutes for you is 2 less for them.

humour and honesty go a very long way.
even when the dad is incredibly pissed off about having to wait for over an hour at the ferry with his smart and wonderful daughter. 5 minutes into the drive to the dorms he looked at me and laughed and said: “see?! i’m not even in a bad mood anymore!”

hauling large heavy suitcases over the seats of the van when the back door refuses to open sorta sucks a wee tiny bit.

having the main sliding door fall off sorta sucks too.

i probably don’t look the same in real life, do i?
big thanks to everyone that said “hello” and “you probably hear this all the time, but i read your blog.” hello! welcome to MUA and Nevis! i hope i didn’t forget to pick you up or lose your luggage at any point… it wasn’t on purpose, i promise.

i brought a book to read in case i ended up sitting somewhere with nothing to do.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. right.

at the end of a long 12-hour-non-air-conditioned day, all i really need is a clean towel and clean sheets.

oh, and re-heated Teahouse chinese take-away is pretty good too.

12 hours till the same thing starts all over again. goodnight.

    I had a dream that you cut all your hair off and dyed it bright pink. Then you posted a blog about it and Brandon called it ‘disturbing’.
    Some infiltrating my dreams!

    It would be more than disturbing. I love her hair : ) it compliments her eyes perfectly. Courtney don’t give her those ideas please ; ) You are doing great babe. Keep up the hard work. It will make the experience for them better than what we had. You are awesome!! I will be back in two sleeps to rub those aches away : )

    Flash backs to the early 90’s when we took our daughter to college for her freshman year. We packed all her stuff into record boxes, made a 4 wheel dolly and borrowed a van from a friend. Got to the school and had her in the room in 30 minutes then sat back and watched all the sweating parents yelling at their kids to help get boxes into the dorm.
    You are fantastic for doing that. Bet the parents didn’t realize that they were riding with a incredible resource if the were smart enough to ask.
    Hope you had a good rest for when “BCWB” gets back.

    Just wanted to say hi and that I was one of the many students that you drove from Rawlins over to Potworks. Thanks for donating your time and giving out vital phone numbers.
