I am so incredibly saddened by the devastating earthquake in Haiti. I think I have the best intentions to try to help, for what it's worth... which, really it's only worth about $25 or $50. But at least it's something, I guess. I try to think about what it's like down there as much as possible. Not that thinking helps anything. And then that's where I get frustrated. So, I'm thinking about how terrible the situation is. I'm empathizing with people I don't know and never will know, but care about because we are fellow humans and it could very easily be me in their situation. I love them and I have their best interests at heart. I wish them well. I think them well. I pray them well, in whatever way I "pray." I wish I could do more and it makes me feel selfish that I can't, don't, won't. What can I do besides give money and think them well? Nothing. Or at least it feels like it.

A gentleman with an accent came up to the advising desk yesterday morning at Heartland. I quietly and cordially asked him if I could ask where he was from and he said England. And then I asked if I could ask where at in England and he said Liverpool. And I told him that I was there over the summer, in Cambridge, doing an internship. He had no interest in my story and I was bummed. I really wanted to talk England with him and ask him why he was here, of all places, but he just wasn't having it. :(

Marriage Monday - Ceremony Music

Missed last week's Marriage Monday... was partying it up in Vegas! Next week will sort of have two topics. Well, I'm annoyed because I can no longer figure out how to embed YouTube videos into my blog. So that's super frustrating. I wanted to have each video in this blog entry, but I guess that ain't happening. I pretty much knew what music I wanted for the ceremony for a long time. I am a lover of movie scores. I just generally love the music in films. It sets the tone, and so I knew that I wanted to include several songs from movies that I love. I didn't know it, but the musicians played one of my favorite songs from Legends of the Fall as part of the prelude, called "The Ludlows." I had also suggested "All You Need is Love" for the prelude because I love it in Love Actually . I didn't hear it get played, because I was downstairs hyperventilating. :) My brother lit the candles and the grandmas and Philip's parents walked into ...

I am so completely over the snow. I'm over hearing about it and seeing pictures of it, I'm over walking through it and driving on top of it. I'm over having it fall from the sky. But alas, it's snowing right now and we're to get a few more inches today. I knew that having those snow days would be a pain in the ass. Catching up at work on Thursday was overwhelming, but we got it under control eventually. I had to reschedule my mock interview from Wednesday to Friday. Oh, and my class that was supposed to meet on Wednesday will now meet on a Saturday or Sunday instead. Awesome. I guess I shouldn't complain. It was nice to have a few extra days off and I literally did nothing of value during those days. Tomorrow is three months until graduation. I have officially applied for two positions--both of them are advising jobs at UNLV (one in Fine Arts and one in Engineering). I basically have no hope of an interview, but I thought I'd at least try. I'm qualif...
