Life lately.

Sometimes I forget that I even have a blog. I don't know how this happens, but it does. It probably happens the same way that I forget other things in life. I have questioned the health of my memory more than once in my life. I very well may be a premature sufferer of dementia or Alzheimer's. But I also am a slight hypochondriac, so disregard everything I just said.
Anyway, so here are two things that have happened to me lately:

Event #1 - I'm a celebrity.

So a group of Koreans decided to up and visit BYU for a few weeks. We're talking legit Koreans here too, not just some Americanized ones. The real thing, through and through. And lucky for me, they decided to sit in on one of my classes. My professor warned us of this before hand, but naturally I remembered it was going to happen every day except the day that it was actually going to happen. So when I walked into my class at 10:57 am Monday morning I was surprised to see a row of Korean women lining the back row. I did a double take and then proceeded to plop myself down in my seat. After sitting there for a few seconds, I decided that I hadn't observed them sufficiently so I turned my head to give them a more thorough glance. And what do I see? A camera. And where is this camera pointed? Directly at my face. I stare into it, trying to process what is happening. At the exact moment when my brain realized "Hey Cara, you're being photographed by a Korean girl" the flash went off and bam. It was finished. I turned my head back to face the front again, still trying to fully understand what just happened. I had just been photographed by a Korean tourist. Why? After much thought and pondering, I have come to form this explanation for myself:
The conversation that took place prior to the taking of the photograph:
Korean Girl #1: "Ahhhh! OMG! Huge American girl walking in room! Wow! She tall!"
Korean Girl #2: "Take picture! Quick while she no looking!"
(Korean Girl #1 rushes to take out camera, meanwhile Sasquatch American girl sits down.)
Korean Girl #1: "No! She sit down!"
Korean Girl #1: "Take picture of her big head!"
Korean Girl #2: "Ok I take picture."
And the rest is history.

Event #2 - Bathroom Meetings

Do you ever have people that you don't know but that you always run into? I have several. Most of them are harmless, but one of them is starting to cause distress. She's a janitor at the library. And for some strange and embarrassing reason, literally every time I use the bathroom in the library, she is there. Always. It is getting to the point that I am keeping a lookout for her and will postpone my bathroom trips to avoid her presence. Today, I thought the coast was clear. I searched the surroundings and there was no sign of her. But then, as I sat in the stall, thinking I had at last escaped her, I heard the jingling. The jingling of the dreaded janitor keys. Immediately I knew it was her. I tried to remain calm and as silent as possible and stayed in the safety of the stall. "She must not know I am here," I thought. I waited in the stall until I heard the slow jingle of her keys leave the bathroom and only then did I go out and wash my hands.
Close call.
I guess one could say that the whole issue is making me a little crazy. Maybe. Just a little.

Anyway, I should get back to my homework now. I have procrastinated the pain long enough. It is now time to suffer.
Adios.
