Examism

Man… I fell asleep on the couch doing French homework and watching Underworld: Evolution.  I can’t really say I remember all of the movie either.  I believe I was in and out for about the last 45 minutes of it.  I awoke to the sound of Laura loading the dishwasher this morning.  Geez… two nights in a row.  At least I was productive.

So I got my eye exam today and found out that my eyes apparently are just fine as far as near/far sightedness are concerned.  I simply have astigmatism, but I’m still going to get glasses.  Contacts were certainly an opton, but I believe glasses will be cheaper for me.  I was also going to get a pair of sunglasses, but it turns out that the frames I chose have a pair of snap on sunglass lenses.  They’re pretty nifty and I really like the way they look on me.  They also fit much better under my helmet.  That definitely makes me happy.  This, and the fact that I don’t have to get prescription sunglasses are huge plusses. 

The missionaries came over tonight which ended up being a lot of fun.  We screwed around with my computer for a bit and explored their home towns on Google Earth.  Laura seemed a bit uncomfortable by their presence, which I can certainly understand, especially from someone who chooses not to be religious.  The thing I love about Elders Huffanger and Minnesota (yeah… and he’s not from Minnesota either… sorry) is that they’re not overbearing in any way.  They’re those kinds of missionaries who will introduce and get to know someone before they even think about offering any kind of spiritual message.  Far too many missionaries take too much initiative, way too soon.  These two also know that no means no.  They did ask if Laura was religious at all when I we were discussing roommates.  I told them she wasn’t and that she wasn’t interested either.  They rspected that and we moved on.  I just hope that Laura doesn’t mind me having the missionaries over.  I also hope she knows they’re not going to attempt anything and make her feel uncomfortable.  Anyways… tomorrow is the big day with Bishop Olaughlin.  This is going to be extremely hard…. but very much needed and worth the pain. 

I seem to dream about Beth on a nightly basis now and it doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier.  Honestly, I never even really said goodbye in the first place.  I’d still welcome her with wide open arms.  One of these days I hope that she can find it in her heart to really understand what I am trying to do.  I suppose all tthat is left for me to do is move on and deal with the loss.  blah blah blah… emotional crap.  I’m tired.
