“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered....”

“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
– Oscar Wilde
Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD. ...

top ten reasons why I love fall semester finals
I have been noticing that everyone seems to be really negative about finals, so I thought I would bring some Christmas cheer to this delightful time.
10. More sleep!
9. Studying by Christmas tree lights is always better (and more conducive to #10)
8. Getting rid of old textbooks is very cathartic
7. Getting free food because people feel bad for us
6. Stress eating is more excusable...

When Grandparents Text: Mailing Instructions
PopPop: I never thought it would be so difficult to get you started in an investment for your future. so what I want you to do is to mail that account application form to me and I will take care of everything else. Of course you must sign the form. Now, 1. do you have a plain envelope? If so, address it with my name and address. 2. Do you have a postage stamp? If so, put it on the envelope with my name and address. 3. Take the account application form, fold it so that it fits in the envelope. 4. Seal the envelope. 5. On the front side of the envelope write you return address in the upper left hand corner. 6. Do you know where there is a US Postal mailbox? If so, take that envelope to the mailbox and drop it in. This should not take more than 5 min. of your time not counting the time walking to the mailbox. That form needs to get to me so that I have time to see that it gets there by April 15. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT that other form. We can take care of that some other time. How are you? Love, Poppop
Me: that should have been an email
