Observations from Grandfather's Chair

I am sitting here in the Grandfather’s chair in the living room across from my pretty in cream friend Alicia who is frantically looking through folders and paper holder things and hitting herself in the face with the paper holder things and typing away at a paper and then looking over at me with “I dislike you very much right now because you do not have homework” eyes…life is so good, and hilarious. Since I do not have to do anything truly productive tonight, in typical Kayla fashion, I have been thinking.

Now some of you and some of my ex-boys friends are quite shocked right now. Believe it or not, I actually think a lot.

1. I like seasons of the Bachelorette better than the Bachelor. Think back to when Trista was the bachelorette, best season ever. She picked Ryan Sutter, got engaged at the end of the show, got married in an---I’ll admit---creepy wedding, stayed married, and now have a son named Max. They are doing well living in the mountains in Boulder, Colorado. It worked out. Why did this one work out? In my professional dating opinion, it is because the guys had to chase after the girl. This is what girls really want. And I have been told by numerous guys and a couple of bad dating advice books from home and family class that guys also like the chase. This is more how a dating relationship is suppose to work rather than the girls chasing the guy. Look at me giving dating advice…not really, just something I noticed.

2. I am not stoked for the semester to be over. Is this weird? Should I go see a specialist? Usually by this time I am counting done the days, the class periods, the tests until the end and I would never look back. This time I am pretty neutral. Albeit, I am glad that I never have to sit through a Kelly Johnson anatomy lecture ever again and for this I am truly grateful. But it has gone by so fast and we have had such a good time it is just a little sad that it is over.

3. I have never ever said those words before. I usually don’t get sad when things are over because I am excited about what is coming ahead. And I am excited for next semester, I just need to stop being emotional.

4. This guy from my speech class wants to run for President. He gave a persuasive speech on why he is a better candidate than any of the actual candidates. He was fairly convincing. Rob Conrad for a better America.

5. Alicia just reminded me of when we were leaving Manhattan after the KU K-State football game where my loves beat the other guys. She accidentally called Dan Ron and it was hilarious.

6. I bought caramel apples today for all my roommates for a fun little treat and apparently no one likes them.

7. I can only do so much thinking. Peace out.
