Having no stereo, I did discover that silence is a dangerous sound, for I am then left, alone, with my own thoughts. My thoughts tend to worry other people.
Last night as I unpacked some clothes, I almost threw out an old, black bra, but not being one to waste things needlessly, I bethought, How may I transform this bra into something more useful? Then it dawned on me- a headband! It suits the purpose of holding my hair out of the scathing Lubbock wind exceptionally, without making my head too warm. The straps flap around behind my ears in a most charming manner. Tomorrow I will make an excuse to wear it out.
I am a genius.
Someone is running a tour group through the library. I thought about taking the scrap paper to hold up a sign as they walked by: "Turn Back Now". But I did not. Let the suckers learn for themselves [this is a jussive subjunctive clause- muchos gracias, Latin class].
My average for the semester is a 4.0, which means I had to have gotten a high "A" on the Latin final, for which I did study so thoroughly. I also had to have done marvelously in German, more so than I had thought I would. My cumulative GPA is now 3.903- hopefully, someone important will see that number and think, Why, who is this Lauree Frances Keith- she must be a genius! We have to find her posthaste to pay for her entire education.
