Maybe I Am Just Lucky...

We all make our own luck in this life, it's true... but some things just happen. Take my phone for instance: every now and then, it just has its monthly period, where it wigs out and goes upside and backwards, and that's on a good day. Lately, I open it and don't even get a screen, just some purple lines. Yesterday it was upside, backwards, and the color was inverted! Silly phone!
Today I was playing basketball, just a simple pick up game, two on two with my roomies. I was guarding Justin as he drove to the basket, and a crash of drums and a flash of elbow and as good ole Yogi put it, "It's like deja vu all over again!"
My cleaning check for check out is tomorrow. I have job six, which includes the following: vacuum the entire apartment, dust the entire apartment, clean out every storage closet, sweep the patio, wash every window, and wash the doors and walls. Oh yeah, and make sure jobs one through five are done also, which nobody has touched our bathroom yet so I will have to do as well. I have yet to pass a cleaning check on the first go-round here, and this time I don't get a re-check. And the new guy is moving his stuff in, so it's all over the floors. And the fee for failing is much higher on check-outs.
At least school is over, right? And I have a whole summer full of EFY to look forward to because I should get all the weeks I applied for because returning male counselors are few and far between. Oh wait...

I Lost My Optimism Somewhere And I Can't Find It

So my plan for EFY this summer didn't work out when they didn't offer me any more contracts. I have just the one in mid-summer, so I may as well go to school and find a way to apply for the Communications program, which looks pretty dismal considering I am 22 credits over the limit and every one will count against me in the process.
Then again, now the 211 class is full and 239 isn't even offered in the summer. So scrap that plan, I guess I'll just work full time.
I took my books back today from last semester and this one... BYU didn't buy any of them back. So, perhaps I'll have some ceremonial burnings... "I'd like to burn this textbook, I hate this stuff so much!"- It's from a song.
Then I came back to my car after 45 minutes on campus and found a parking citation on it. I thought reading days counted as Saturdays. EXPLETIVE!
So, as minuscule as all these rejections are, I still can't help but be baffled by it all... where did I go wrong? Perhaps it's just time to welcome Murphy into my life with arms wide open, knowing that if there is a possibility today that my pants will catch fire, then they definitely will.

On a positive note, the ward talent show did happen. I was the MC, and the singer for the closing act. It actually went well! This is another reason I'm going to miss my roomies so much.
If you want to see it, just check my facebook account, it's called "The Todd Martin Experience".
