SIFE, Scheduling, and Shootings

Here are some thoughts on my mind at the moment:

• Tonight I had meetings from 6 to 10 PM. I'm glad I didn't have any homework that needs to be completed before tomorrow. Actually, I've been goofing off since I got back. Priorities, Kaila. Priorities.
  
  Anyway, at my SIFE meeting tonight, we found out only 4 of our 6 projects are worth our time/effort. We have already lost 3 projects since the beginning of the semester, so two more is killer. But it seems that this is the best for our team, with our limited resources and time. We'll see what happens.
  
  Lately, I can't help but think what I would do if I were SIFE President this year. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for next year, if I decide it is something I can handle. I am just not so sure a the moment. Ideally, I wouldn't be President, so I am trying to mentally scope out others who will do a better job than me. I just want SIFE to be the most successful that it can be no matter what that means for me. 


• There was a shooting just off Drake's campus tonight around 9PM. Things like that scare me. I always feel so safe on campus, but I have to realize we are on the East Side. That's where all the bad stuff goes down. 


• I have this weird rash thing on the side of my pointer finger on my left hand. I think the finger will probably fall off in the next 24 hours. I'm about 99% sure I am correct on this one. Wikipedia told me so. 


• The schedule for next semester was just posted online. Of course, that means I had to make sure all the classes I need will fit together. For the first time, only 1 of the 5 classes I planned on taking next semester is actually being offered. Greeeeaaaat. This is the type of thing that would make me freak out if I hadn't looked ahead of time. Granted, I think we still have 3 weeks before scheduling, but it never hurts to be early. 


• This weekend, I decided I really needed to buy fake nails, because I put them on every two weeks or so. Unfortunately, I have tiny hands so I have to purchase special ones for "petite hands." When I went shopping this weekend, they ran out of the kind for petite hands, so I decided to look in the girls section. I couldn't find any plain ones, so I purchased ones with zebra print. I kind of feel like a stripper while wearing them. Oh, and they were too big, so I had to file them down as well. How sad is it that a 20-year-old woman's hands are too small for GIRL'S fake nails. Wow. 


• Matt gave me a teddy bear for when I was sick on Thursday. He is adorable! (The bear, not Matt.) Anyway, I really didn't deserve a bear for getting sick like everyone else does, but Matt seemed to think it would cheer me up. Of course I lit up like a small child when he gave it to me. I kinda like it. ;) Anyway, I finally decided on a name for him. After much deliberation, I have decided on Rawr. I'm guessing Matt is the only one who will understand why I named him that, but it is totally fitting. Now, I have a buddy to cuddle with in bed every night. Rawr is the perfect cuddle buddy. :)
