Define Immigrant, K.Love and Picture Post March 27-April 1

It's nearing 6:30. The birds are chirping. The rain is slowing. Just two more hours in my shift. I will be brief, I'm hoping to finish at least the first half of my research project tonight. But I need a quick break to wake me up and stimulate my brain.

This stimulated my brain earlier. For some reason I just like this picture:

I've always wanted to be in a room entirely filled with balloons. Like in Patch Adams.

No mouse, tonight. Just me. No John Chester, either. Instead I'm listening to positive, encouraging klove online. I was hoping it would provide me with some opportunities to sing along, and indeed it has. Only one question is left lingering in my mind...how is a story of a 200+ ton sand sculpture of Jesus positive and encouraging?

One ironical moment from tonight. While working on my current project I was researching Law Clinics offered at the University of Idaho Law Clinic. They feature an immigration law clinic which, and I quote:

...work on a variety of cases and projects, involving members of the Nez Perce and other tribes...

Really, Idaho? Maybe I'm being a little bit too politically correct, but shouldn't the members of the Nez Perce and other tribes be offering US immigration law clinics?

Anyways, here are this weeks pictures (at least up until April 1st. I didn't get a chance to download Thursday's, but you're in for a treat! Luke, Uzma and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival and they were beautiful!).

March 27, 2009: Mom, Christie, Grandma and Pappap came up today! Mom and Christie came bearing good scents of Yankee Candle Fresh Strawberry. And life has smelled delicious ever since!

March 28, 2009: As mentioned in an earlier post (see below), we went to the WWII Memorial with my grandparents. It was really memorable, and I'm so glad that I got to share that experience with them.






March 29, 2009: All of my sister pictures with Christie came out blurry =( But this one is still cute (if not incredibly dark! Ugh.).



March 30, 2009: Slow day, full of laundry, dishes and sleeping. The curtains in our room did finally fall our of the wall. We were waiting for it to happen, but it waited until Grandma and Pappap left. When we moved into our apartment they told us we weren't supposed to hang pictures, but our landlord told us that we could just fill them with toothpaste and no one would know. Luke's comment upon seeing the hole was "That's gonna take a lot of toothpaste..." True that.

March 31, 2009: Good morning world! Upon leaving work on Tuesday morning I was met on my walk to the metro with bright blue skies and beautiful flowers. Hooray for Spring! There are parts of my job that I find incredibly enjoyable (and don't worry, not just the walk home!).

April 1, 2009: Luke got me these woderful flowers. As mentioned last week, I love flowers.
