Bad Luck Finals Week

So, today would be the perfect example of how I seem to have really bad luck on finals week. I've been kicked off the internet and unable to do papers. I've had instruments break on me just as I'm walking to do a performance test for a professor. This finals week is the worst yet because I have just lost my flash drive. I tried to retrace my steps from Friday--when I first noticed that I lost it. At first, I thought I had accidentily washed when I threw all of my pants into the machine to be washed. I quickly checked all pockets and it was nowhere to be found. Then the jacket pockets and checking at work, and then I finally called the Union, and turned my appartment upside down looking for it. Nothing. I guess what's really frustrating is that if God wanted me to lose it, he could have at least let me lose it after finals when most of my papers weren't on the device! Grr.

Waist-Deep in Snow

It's ten o'clock and I should be writing papers but all I can think about is my fiance, Jim. The past week or so has been, and this could be a severe understatement, troublesome. First, I needed a book for a class and the closest place that had it in stock was Barns and Noble in Greenbay. Next, I decided to be dumb and drive myself to the church meeting in the snow. I was fine and thought I could get home but the sky decided it would rain a sleet and snow mixture, which so perfectly covered the roads in ice. Jim came to get me. I'm quite sure there's more that I am forgetting here too. But, I'm sooo thankful for him and we kid about it saying that I would be waist-deep in snow somewhere if I didn't have him... and sometimes, I think he's right. My first response is to thank him and do something for him in return. But being married means you automatically do things for each other without making up for it. I never expect him to do things for me... that's just how I am, but, I expect to always be there for him when he needs me. However, it seems that lately I haven't had the means to be there for him and its hard. I have to remember that I'm not at the same level in life that he is, and although I'd sure like to be, I'm not going to be able to do some of the things I'd like to do for him for another couple of years yet. I like how he calls us a "unit" and it feels good to have a life to share with someone as a 'unit' but I've not had anyone who would go out of their way for me to help me when I needed it for a long time. When I was little and couldn't fend for myself, my parents were always there for me. But that has been a long time gone and I'm used to bearing with things now... and I guess that some things I am so thankful for that I still feel I need to say "thanks," especially to Jim. Because, hey, you never know... I could have ended up somewhere waist-deep in snow. :) Thank you Jim and I'm so honored to be marrying you!
