Appearently I have been working too hard since I strained my left foot muscle. Now I look funny when I walk. And I didn't do anything like run a marathon or lift weights or operate heavy machinary. I dont get it. All I did was walk around. I am falling apart.

Segway!

Feeling slightly annoyed by the wind howling its way into my room from a small crack in my no-so-effecient dorm window, I got up and tried to push it closed some more. No such luck. I then pushed it in and realized that the sounds wasn't unbearable, however, once I let go it was back. So I looked around for something I could stick in the little space and lo and behold I reached down and the Everybody Poops book found its way to my hand. It was just thin enough to hold the window closed. And it did so all night. Thank you Everybody Poops, not only for the wonder of showing fecal matter but for helping out when I needed it most.

At the 80s training dinner/dance party I got online to get some food. I was sporting my blue members only jacket and a fellow RD noticed that it was genuine and exclaimed with excitement, "That's CHOICE!"

This is an excellent 80s word that is often forgotten from the sea of other great words such as "Totally" "Rad" "Bodacious" "Narley" "Wicked" "Bitchin"

As a goal I have set for myself, I plan to include "Choice" into my everyday vocabulary. It's time for a rebirth.

RA training started today. We had our first session which was about Motovation. It was full of cheesy lessons and so I didn't do any of the exercises seriously. For one of the things the woman held up two containers with different amounts of water in them. It was the old..half full or half empty deal. She asked us to take a moment to write down descriptions of the containers. Here is what I wrote.

Half Empty
Half Dollar
H-D
H-Dolla'
Half-D
Hasselhoff
Cookies
Fred is Asian
Molly is hitting on me

The whole rant of Half Dollar is from earlier when our staff had lunch together and they were talking about 50 Cent and I said he should have a sidekick named Half Dolla'....And so I have abandoned my old name "Colleen" and will only respond to any form of Half Dolla' as seen above. The cookies, I just wanted one, and Hasselhoff...I dunno. Fred is an actual person and YES he IS asian. And Molly was winking and licking her lips at me so she indeed was hitting on me.

Basically the lesson from the session is as follows...

Optimism=Life
Pessimism=Death

There you go.
