grumpycat's list of complaints
1. i made a C+ on the paper that i had to do well on. charles loved the content, but i freakin switched tenses. i'm sorry i'm sorry. i hate response papers. perhaps if i had opinions...
2. his exam is tomorrow. i have to make an A if i don't want to make my first C in a course. oh god. panic attack.
3. i'm losing my voice. and starting to cough. they may be connected.
4. i'm beyond broke from grad school apps. (side complaint: i don't get paid for nov OR dec until dec 24 because i was late turning in my time-sheet... because we were out for thanksgiving when it was due.)
5. i'm out of contacts so i've been wearing my glasses for 3 days now. if you know me, you know that this does not make me feel good.
6. my straight hairs have been particularly straight and particularly irritating recently. to the point of no longer being amusing.
7. haven't run in a week.
8. new cute shoes... broken heel after second wear.
9. unnnggghhhhhhhhh exams.
10. it's so cold outside... not in the cute, sing-song way, but in the way that freezes my wet hair in the mornings, keeps my nose perpetually numb, fogs my glasses when i go indoors, makes socks necessary, and forces me to go to the tanning bed so my SAD doesn't kill me.
11. adam sucks.
12. lonely.
13. life-tired.
valleys fill first, valleys fill first, valleys fill first...

An Open Letter To My School That Recently Put Up A New Sidewalk*
Dear Lambuth University,
Thanks for finally putting in that sidewalk! After (at least) four years, you've finally listened. To be perfectly honest, it wasn't really what I had in mind when I pushed for it, but that's ok! It's there, and that's the important thing, right?
Thanks for running it exactly parallel to the street. It really was too much of a hassle to take the (literally) one step over to make it to the road. I'm so glad that's not a problem anymore! And I'm surprisingly overjoyed to still have the 20 feet of soggy ground to walk on in the opposite direction (which is where I imagined the sidewalk in the first place, but what do I know?).
And thank you so much for leaving all the freshly upturned dirt immediately around the new sidewalk, so that I have no choice but to follow it if I want to keep the hems of my pants from getting muddy. So now I'm practically walking on the road. Which was already there. But this sidewalk is so much better. Thanks.
And yes, more of my gratitude (and probably my tuition) goes to you for tearing up all the cool tree roots to put in this very necessary sidewalk. Not only were they the only things saving my canvas shoes from ruin every rainy day, they were also the greatest natural landmark.
"So where are you?"
"I'm at the roots."
"Ohhhhh ok I have a very clear picture."
In addition, they were one of the only things I liked about this God-forsaken place. So yeah, I'm really glad that they're gone. Forever.
Thanks a lot,
Cat Underwood
