not juice from concentrate

Today's wise words: Splendid meat cheese weed pants. Those are mine. Actually, they are from my trip to Alaska. Ant's wise words are Monkey chicken cow. Tuesday was brought to you by the letter "p".

My manager gave me these little chocolate bars so I've been eating them fairly mindlessly. Luckily there were only two or I'd have a real problem on my hands.

I hate meeting new "important" people. I am a terrible public speaker and I'm no good at meeting people. In reality I don't think I'm all that bad, but when I hear myself I feel like I sound so stupid. The whole thing makes me very nervous.

On a lighter note, I really like it down here. It's a great area, nice people, beautiful trees and stuff like gas is cheaper than in Michigan. I definitely think I could move down here for awhile. I've been thinking about staying down here for the fall term, but I think I want to go back to school and finish things up. I would hate to miss Ann Arbor in the fall; it's so beautiful and fun and all my friends are coming back from their year abroad.

Have you ever been so lucky that it starts to make you nervous?
