I'm willing to bet one of the employees got up in the morning, dragged herself out of bed and came to work even though she didn't want to. Then she was doing her regular boring job assignment of going through the messages and came across yours. Then her attitude quickly changed and was the happiest employee ever! After her shift she went back home and told all her friends and family about the wonderful American who left the most cheery message and she can't wait to go back to work tomorrow to see if she will call again. I'm pretty sure that's how it all went down. I think you need to call ASU's finaid department and leave a message so that I'll have a great day at work!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726932051133705968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-36278307699616458112011-08-29T20:53:10.405-07:002011-08-29T20:53:10.405-07:00I am excited.I am excited.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390193809163236370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-39963481247337291432011-08-26T06:25:52.781-07:002011-08-26T06:25:52.781-07:00I get very inspired and excited when I read stuff ...I get very inspired and excited when I read stuff like this.

I would also like to be more creative in my life. At the moment my imagination is mostly being channeled into narrating my dog's thought processes to Alex. I want to pretend I'm embarrassed about this, but I can't lie...it is HIGHLY amusing. Still, since I am as yet unemployed and don't really have any friends up here, I should probably try to do something besides plan my dystopian nanowrimo novel.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390193809163236370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-31306035802298761282011-08-25T13:15:31.510-07:002011-08-25T13:15:31.510-07:00This is a brilliant idea and I can't wait to s...This is a brilliant idea and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Katie got me a similar book for my birthday called the Crafter's Devotional and I started this week (excersise three: coloring. Bingo!) I've been stuck, creatively, for some time now, mostly because of inertia, and I'm amazed at how quickly it comes back when you put just a little effort into it. I think we should have regular meetings about how we're progressing.

The receipt was still in the bag, I bought it April 20, 2007 in Texas and haven't touched it since! So, I made the intended project. It did NOT turn out well. But I went and bought some more stuff and am about half-way through another project. It's better but still not exactly the mosaic of my dreams. I have visions of refinishing some cute little side table I find at a thrift store and mosaicing the top of it in old china. <br /><br />If you still want to go thrift store shopping - I'm in!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222717266527397554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-46654890766104054242011-08-23T15:21:40.635-07:002011-08-23T15:21:40.635-07:00Oh man, I am like rubbing my hands together in exc...Oh man, I am like rubbing my hands together in excitement over here!

Why? Because while being questioned by the attorneys, here was the exchange:<br /><br />Defense Attorney: The defendant is a known gang member and many of those testifying will also be known gang members, some of them will be brought here from jail to testify. Do you think that someone who is a gang member is less trustworthy than others, say an officer?<br /><br />Me: Well, gang members aren't exactly known for doing GOOD things, so that would be difficult.<br /><br />Defense Attorney: You may hear some testimony that the defendant shot at a police officer. Can you keep an open mind about why he might be shooting at the officer?<br /><br />Me: I can't really think of a GOOD reason why anyone would be shooting at a police officer, so No, I can't keep an open mind.<br /><br />Defense Attorney: Juror #9, you're dismissed.<br /><br />Yep, that's pretty much what I thought!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222717266527397554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-54690205474735399792011-08-19T11:52:21.352-07:002011-08-19T11:52:21.352-07:00Once when I was nineteen, I had jury duty and was ...Once when I was nineteen, I had jury duty and was sitting on a panel. Well, I won't go into details, but I'll add the advice: Carry tampons just in case, because even if you check the bathroom vending machines on three separate floors, try the little convenice store on the bottom floor, and when all else fails ask a bunch of strangers, there is still no guarantee you'll get one. And also? Don't wear Khaki pants.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390193809163236370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306900591538708551.post-88229703646717222402011-08-19T10:55:14.193-07:002011-08-19T10:55:14.193-07:00Can I join in on the jury with you two? that'...Can I join in on the jury with you two? that's the only way I'd do it.
