A lesson learned.

I wrote my first speech today. It's about obesity in America. It's funny because all the super smart wanna sound kids have had the hardest time understanding exactly what this speech is supposed to be about. I've never heard so many complicated questions haha! I also went swimming today HAH in winter. I swam laps and played around in our rec center. We have a lazy river,whirlpool and a 40 person hot tub, which isn't actually that hot, its more like a big chlorinated bath tub. I also find it interesting that no matter your age or intelligence you still aren't allowed to swim in pools deeper than four ft. haha. I also love professors that tell you they wont keep you long because they hate people who talk just to hear themselves talk but in all reality they themselves love to hear themselves talk and tell you pointless stories about ex boyfriends that you pay thousands of dollars to hear, but you get a piece of paper in the end so I guess it's okay. They also don't teach you to NOT use run on sentences so I will continue to use them. It's also fun to avoid psychos you unfortunately met in high school because you don't want to get that business started again. I also have come to love hearing 39 year old men talk about themselves for 6 hours at work. I also love waking up at 12 in the afternoon and wonder where my day has gone. I do love the spontaneity of college. Who goes fishing just because they can on a Tuesday afternoon,catches a 5lb trout,brings it home in the back of a Volkswagen Passat, watches it swim in the sink until it dies then throws it away. I've had sooo much fun so far learned so much about people, life and friends that I have never known before. Relationships are more important now than ever and drinking every drip of life is a priority. I've learned to love what I dont love, love people I dont love and care about what I don't care about. The weird kids are no longer weird, the long winded are sweet and need to talk too, the day is still seizable no matter the time and randomness makes the heart young.I guess I've learned how to become all things to all people so that I might win some. Thanks God for yet again, changing my mind.
