Deja Vu

So I was up at Weber State University taking a test on Saturday, and it was so deja vu. The test was held in the Social Sciences building, where I did a majority of my classes. It really made me want to go back to school. Then, I was up at the University of Utah in the evening, and again it got me thinking how fun it would be to do another degree. Maybe someday. It has to be soon, seeing as how my memory gets worse each year that passes.

Also on Saturday, I was driving around in Bountiful, where I went to high school, listening to some classic rock like Journey and AC/DC, and it was major deja vu all over again. Wow. I felt like I was 17 again. Amazing how the body ages so much faster than the mind.

Courtney got asked to the Prom at the school where I teach by a friend of hers, so we've got to go dress shopping. I hope it can be fun and not stressful looking for a dress. :/ He's already asked her, but he's coming over here to do something goofy to ask her officially, and if it's something that makes a mess in or out of my house, I'll kill him. She has to answer him back somehow, and I'm hoping she'll come up with something that involves me in no way, shape, or form. That's what girl friends are for.

Survivor commentary for the week: OK, so this is the only show that I really watch faithfully. Other shows I just catch when I can, if I'm making dinner or hanging out or whatever. Survivor is mindless and silly, and I like to analyze strategy and how they are playing the game. I've been sad when people got voted out or evacuated for medical reasons, but it's never brought me to tears before. But when Jonathon got pulled from the game and he teared up, so did I. Probably because I've read some of his blogs, and I know what a cool guy he is outside of the game. He's smart, funny, very self-aware... I mean, here's a guy who is already successful... he's been on several TV shows, so he isn't looking for fame, he's a writer, he's directed... He's not out there desperate to win a million dollars... He's tearing up because he loves playing the game. And I just think he's great, and was so, so sad to see him go. It won't be nearly as fun without him.

Anyway...

This weekend has been pretty busy, and I am just not ready to start a new week tomorrow. But I am grateful to have things to do... a job, kids, a house to clean, food to prepare, all of that. There are definitely worse things.

I've got to take some time to change my American Idol playlist. I'm thinking either classic rock or classic alternative next.
