Run, Katie, Run!

Um Ya Ya is the title of the Saint Olaf fight song. I've always wanted to hear my oldest brother sing this.
I went on a wacky confirmation trip with my church one time to Saint Olaf. This inevitably led to my brother singing the Um Ya Ya song. Unfortunately i wasn't paying attention at the time. Later i wanted him to sing it again, but he wouldn't.
Here's the point: I lot of times in life we're looking for something, something specific. That something specific is often times God. That thing is around us constantly, and even reaching out to us...but we're just not paying attention.
And then we ask the age-old question: "Where were you when i needed you? Where ARE you, God?"
Fortunately, God is much more patient than my brother. He will always sing the Um Ya Ya song. Just make sure that this time, you pay attention.

• Well, it's a lot better than not having anything clever to say, but saying it anyway. Trust me.



• I amused myself for 30 min, timing my watch with the flashes on my meteronome.



• I amused myself for 2o min staring at my name backwards in a mirror.
• I drew a face on a roll of toilet paper.
• I saw Gavin. I said, "Hi."



• The door to the room for my theory class was confusing. People kept trying to pull it open while people inside the room kept yelling "PUSH! PUSH!" which only brings one question to mind: "Where's the father?"
