Facebook is way too public. I have a million comments about my new status, which is hilarious. I would be fine with it, except that I am not the only one to read the comments! How can I be so shy about some things? And so open about others? On this one, I'm a bit shy... Too bad though. There's no mercy with excited friends and social networks!

Happy National Grammar Day!!!
In honor of National Grammar Day, I write this post!
Yesterday, as I was leaving my Shakespeare class, my friend and classmate Jessica,told me that today would be National Grammar Day. I, a fellow English teaching dork,told my roommates with excitement later that night. I probably sounded just as enthusiastic as I would have were I talking about some boy (or maybe a particular one). They stared at me blankly of course,then laughed at the English teacher in me. As far as they were concerned, I was probably one of the only people in the world excited about Grammar day.
But I am not alone. I woke up this morning,went to the gym, wrote a paper, and then headed to class, walking with another friend, Miss Dana Glen. We chatted about many things, and just before entering the JFSB dungeon with no cell-phone service, I exclaimed, "oh yeah! Happy Grammar Day!" She smiled and thanked me, going on her way like a normal English person, not an English teaching freak.
Then! It happened! I walked into my niche at BYU--my teaching grammar class, where sitting on the table were frosted cookies boasting exclamation points, question marks, hanging quotation marks, interrobangs, ellipses, periods, commas, and more! Only there was I at home, laughing with those of "my kind." We all get it! And we love it. L.O.V.E. So... Happy Grammar Day!

Papers or blogging? Blogging.
Well, instead of starting my exam for my Shakespeare class, I am researching for American lit and blogging. Well, you might say, "hey. She loves American Lit!" Though it strikes an occasional interest, as it must for an english major, I really am jsut terrified of beginning the kiss of death--days and days of essay writing, compiling sixteen pages for Shakespeare, three for Teaching Writing, and an Annotated Bibliography for American Lit! All due on March 10th! Yay for English people and their lovely assignments.
What I don't understand is how I can love and hate a subject so much at the same time!

6 year olds more mature in dating than me!
Well, life is just full of lemons!. We'll hear about two right now, starting with the sweet moment, then the bitter-sweet one!
I was volunteering with my friend Alysha last friday at a children's half-way house, where a little girl named Audrey said the funniest things!
"I met the love of my life today. His name is Mark. I like having boyfriends because they are always there for you. Like when Ryan took me straight to the principal's office to fix my boo boo."
I said, "you have more than one boyfriend?"
She responded, "yes. Mark is my favorite because the other ones always follow me around when I need my privacy."
I told her that I only have friends. It's easier, which leads to item # 2:
I'm completely afraid of commitment. Who's have thought? There's a guy who's definitely interested in me, and I like him, but he's really interested, and that's scarier than anything! AH! That's never happened before. Well, we'll see what happens. I just am confused by fear. I like him, but sometimes I wonder why I'm hesitant. It's nice to know that little Audrey is better than dating than me! Haha!

Lab. Sentence for Grammar glass: Distracting myself from the one concern that pervaded my thoughts all day long.
All day today I was walking to and from class, sitting in lectures, writing in the library, trying not to think about Jeff, who was supposed to call and ask me out at some point because he and I have been talking and starting something in a slow but progressing way, even though both of us are shy and slow-moving, but he didn't call me, and I am a bit bummed as I realize that I probably won't be going out with him this weekend, the exciting romantic adventure exchanged for a Saturday of homework and writing for my Shakespeare class and my American Literature class, the distractions that somewhat kept my mind off of the silence of my phone, whose poor reception in the library wasn't the reason he didn't call, unfortunately, for there were no messages or texts that lifted my hopes, rather a static dissappointment in a temporary letdown of lack of pursuit, initiative, or confidance in my beloved male sex.
