because my life does have great bits, too

We had a guest speaker in Crim. He was an ex-con and talking about how deterrence doesn't work and people can't change unless they want to change. I approached him afterward to see if there were any (any) volunteer opportunities available through the group he was with or any similar groups (the group he's with, Bridges of Canada, is actually faith-based and I'm not exactly religious, but I just am so frustrated with seeing my family torn apart, I feel like I need to do something to help somebody).

And then I had lunch with my mother, and that was lovely. And my sister is pregnant! And my two youngest nieces were hanging out together yesterday and were adorable! And my sister is pregnant!

Then I got a winter coat that was regular $160 for $30.

And English was wonderful, I said that Robert Herrick was a dirty old man and my prof thought that was a rather humourous (if not always apt) way to describe him. A girl in my class approached me afterward and said she agreed with me, that reading his poems felt like reading an advertisement for Girls Gone Wild. I then quoted Chris, who once said Herrick's poems could essentially be summarized as "Get thee in my trousers, wench." My prof loved that.

I'm such a nerd.
