Okay, I'm done with that little out of body experience.
I have a friend who wrote on her blog that law school = high school with a case book. I think I could plagerize her and say nursing school = high school with a stethoscope. Seriously, in the last couple of weeks, the back biting and na-na-ing and cattiness of some of these girls has really come out. I'm content to let them do their thing and just work on keeping my nose clean, but some of them should be cowboys--they are good at roping everybody in. Not to participate in the misbehavior, but roping them in by talking ugly about them to other people. Unfortunately, my name came up this week. Not for something bad that they thought I did, but for something that just happened. It was of no consequence to them at all. But they got upset by it. I labored over how to handle it and finally decided that I should not just let it go, I needed to confront this particular person.
***And here's the point of the previous paragraph.***
Do you realize how hard it is to confront someone? Some of you "non-confronters" really do, but I (by nature) am a confrontational person. Or so I thought. I really wanted to talk to this girl without getting any mud on my own face. The Bible says to first talk to this person alone, one-on-one. So that's what I determined to do. I didn't bring up anything that I didn't hear myself or experience myself from her, yet she denied everything. She apologized for giving me any false impressions. I guess now I just let it go. Following the Biblical model, if the situation isn't rectified, I take other people back with me when I talk to her, but although I feel she lied to me, she still apologized. I don't feel that I have any reason to go back to her about this. The ball is in her court. It still bugs me though.
1. We have one more week until Thanksgiving break. I'm ready for the break, but at the same time I dread it. I always have trouble getting my motivation back after break. School is always harder after having a break.
2. Ladies, can I just put in a push for a particular article of clothing that I feel is very under-used. The slip. It's just a flimsy, silky item that no one ever sees. But it is SO important. Although no one ever sees it, it keeps others from seeing things that they just shouldn't. So, here's to you, Ladies' slip maker! I remember my own mother being a slip checker every Sunday morning before church. Thanks mom.
3. My Microbiology teacher is making me a bacteria-phobe. Sour cream, cake batter, eggs over easy--I'll sure miss you!
4. I made an 82 on my last test. It was apparently harder than I thought. An 82 isn't failing, for which I'm thankful, but it wasn't the grade I thought I was going to get. Bummer. We only have one more unit test and the final.
5. I've had a wonderful opportunity this week to sew. I've missed sewing over the last few semesters. I just wish I had more time. I'm working on some skirts (church clothes) for me and Emily both. I don't have time today (remember, the blood drive), but maybe Saturday.
6. And what's a post without a picture...
Bama watching the big kids play! I think he's pretty close to getting in on his own (on purpose). Stay tuned.....

I totally feel you. I'm also confrontational by nature. I believe in giving someone a chance to rectify a situation and moving on instead of passively hating them for years. I think that, by confronting this girl, you basically said, "Look, chick. I know who you are, and I know what you said. This is your warning." She got it. I think you successfully shut her down. Truth be told, she probably peed herself, as people like that often do. Some people are too dumb to realize that they'll be found out. Score 1 for you.
Speaking of clothes, we had a moot court competition this week, and this girl from LSU was wearing pants so tight I could see her cellulite. A slip couldn't help her, but panties would have been a nice start.
Bamel is too cute.
