The Dessert Fairy
This entire week has been an atrocity. Busy everytime I turn around, the time I’m taking to write this right now is borrowed from a lab that I got time off from (it’s also my lunch time). That said, I was unlocking my bike yesterday to race to a workout and couldn’t help but notice a Rice Crispies bar lodged between my front reflector and tire. My first reaction to the foreign substance on my bike was anger - it was an inconvenience to kick the dang thing off. A moment or two later, though, I looked at the bar on the ground (it had a bite out of it) and the humor sunk in. I mean … there’s a Rice Crispies bar wedged into my bike. That’s funny. Try to make an argument against the humor there. I could just imagine some guy (I’m assuming it was a guy … do you know girls who litter desserts?) walking up to my bike and taking the time to carefully set the bar in there so it fit just so. As Daniel Bogan would say, “People can be so damn strange sometimes.”
Also … something is propping me up right now. It’s not the grinding through the work or the success at forgetting about forthcoming accpetance/rejection letters from dental school; it’s not meditation in its many forms, or more sleep. I think it’s that I’ve started praying more.

I didn't think this post was a downer, if thats what you had thought. In fact, I don't think I have ever read a downer on your site. School and life can be hard, but your posts don't dwell on that hardship. I find them to be interesting insights that I (and others I am sure) can relate to. Keep em coming!

Oh no, I got where you were coming from Nils - thanks for your support. I've actually got a post coming up soon you'll be quite interested in.
