Imagination--The Secret to Survival

I had an, how shall I put this.... "Interesting" day at work today.

Actually, I think a better word for it is "different."

I spent 2 hours pulling tape strips off of plastic sample trays (and another hour sifting dirt, but I do that every day.) When I started to get bored with my rather pointless and mundane task (about 2 minutes after I started,) I realized that the long tape strips became very curly after they were pulled off of the plastic. I had been sticking the pieces that I had already pulled off onto my pant leg to be disposed of when my task was completed, and they had somehow formed into a rather interesting and curly tape mess. I spent the rest of my tape removing time creating a very elaborate and intricate tape sculpture, which was promptly crumpled into a tiny, sticky ball when I was finished.

I am sometimes simultaneously amazed and horrified by the ways that I find to entertain myself.

I know you all probably assume that this was the highlight of my day, but you are wrong. I found out that my days of dirt sifting are coming to an end. My dad (ya, I know... I'm a spoiled brat) got me an interview for an internship at the biggest advertising/PR firm in Lincoln. Hopefully by the beginning of next semester I will be able to say goodbye to the soils lab forever!

Welp, time to go get ready. I have a hot date with my hot boyfriend and I'm going to be wearing my hot new dress with my hot black boots!
