Meatballs
The bathrooms in this building are full of out-of-date magazines. I just noticed that cover of the issue of Reader’s Digest on the top of the stack says:
TIM MCGRAW Laughs, Cries, Makes Meatballs
I hope with all of my heart that someday, my tombstone will say the same thing.
False hopes, via text message with my mother.
Mom: Can you see if there is a Cook Out on Glenwood?
Me: Nope.
Mom: Thanks for checking, now can you tell me the phone number for [this car garage]?
Me: Sure. It's _______. This is why we should get iPhones. :)
Mom: Truth -- when you get yours, just pick one up for me too, OK? Thanks, Mom

This is post #3,000, written from the same spot where I posted #1.
I’m back home for Christmas, and I’m working a few days at my old job. I felt like a robot when I picked up the phone without thinking and answered with my standard greeting after fourth months of absence.
Since I left, I have survived one semester of grad school and two blizzards. I found a new coffee shop, and...

If I could just get
one final grade in, I could stop worrying.
This whole minimum GPA-or-you-go-on-probation-and-lose-financial-aid thing is stressing me out more than I have ever stressed about school. I don’t really think I am at risk of falling below the minimum GPA, but my last projects are making me feel like I’m swimming upstream in tar.
Please for the love of pork nachos, will someone post my...

Umm...you guys?
I know some of you are from the North/snowy places — can someone please explain to me what a SNOW SQUALL is?? It says we are having that on Monday. I’m supposed to have a job interview Monday morning, but now I’m thinking that’s unlikely due to the impending doom I am guessing is a snow squall.

I just want those suits that eskimos wear
I decided this morning that it was time to buck up and deal with this new arctic climate I’m living in. I was going to bundle up and walk the one mile stretch to work like any other day. Then, I discovered that it was 9 degrees outside with 25 mph wind (with almost a foot of snow on the ground).
Instead of walking, I scraped my car windows and crept slowly down the road in my little...

Why
did I just eat the peanut butter and nutella sandwich I packed for lunch?
It’s not even 10 a.m.
Why?

There is some silly "no food" rule in place in...
I don’t know — maybe there was a no food rule in the library at my undergraduate institution that everyone ignored? I certainly did. I remember eating entire pints of ice cream and whole pizzas in the library and no one ever said a word about it.
Here, they seem more serious about the no food rule. I am trying to eat this giant burrito in stealth mode, but it’s not really...

I’m not, though. I’m really not.

DISCOVERY
When you type an extra “e” while texting the word “while,” it becomes “wiggle.” I realllly hope I make that mistake without noticing sometime, like, “hey, do you want to go to the library for a wiggle?” or “I’ll be done studying in a little wiggle.”

Here's an important question:
Is “Kell on Earth” ever coming back for a second season? Socks — do you know?
I really, really hope so. For the sake of humanity.

So begins the snow.
I woke up to snow on my car outside this morning, and my Raleigh instincts were to be all, HOORAY IT SNOWEDDDD and my roommate was like, meh. Every winter growing up/in college, it normally snowed one time with about three inches of accumulation. That was always enough to freak everyone out and have school canceled for at least two days.
Here, it snows all winter. I’m sure it’ll...
