Minimal Encouragers

I woke up an hour early this morning- which is probably one of my favorite ways to wake up. It meant I didn’t have to deal with that sassy alarm of mine. You know, the one that yells at you until you groggily hit snooze. More like disarm.

I gathered my things, made a PB&H and headed out the door. Blue carpet hallway, stairwell, step, step, step, walk forward, push door open. That’s where a  huge chilly breeze gushed through my face swirling my hair the way Pocahontas looked when she sang all the colors of the wind. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but it was pretty nice.

And that’s when it happened.

The thing I’ve been waiting to see since early September.

A sheet of fall leaves fell down all around the sidewalk and the man on a lawnmower.

I wasn’t particularly excited about the man, but rather the dusty swirl of leaves. I see a lot of God in nature. So, seeing the fall leaves was just a huge reminder that God is here. Still present, even on a routine walk to class.

Serendipity

Today I realized that I have some freakishly great things happening this semester.

Exhibit A: 

My Gerontology teacher has a curled mustache.

Exhibit B: 

I have escaped cafeteria food.

Exhibit C: 

"How embarrassing, Fergie-ferg, Who are you right now, and Duh" 

have become key to ANY conversation. 

What more could a girl ask for?

Bandwagon

Alright, I've done it. I've given into this blog fad. Although, I suppose its better than other trends I've followed... Like dressing like Avril Lavigne, dancing the macarena, or that one time I jumped off a bridge because my friends were doing it.

On another note, I was kind of hoping my first entry would be something profound. Like, this morning I was handed a 20 dollar gift card to Starbucks by a kind Samaritan. Or hey blogging world, today a leaf flew into my hand on the way to class. Both of which haven't happened to me. I suppose instead I'll write that earlier this week I walked behind a rather buff, thug life young man with a Louis Vuitton backpack on campus. It was unexpected, and gave me a good chuckle on the way to the Student Center.
