Proof of Life

"i slide into your DMs to say hello again"

Time flies when you're having fun, they say. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life, they say. Well, guess what? There's more. Time moves quickly when deadlines loom. Do what you work and you'll never love a day in your life. Did you ever think about that, Rochefoucauld? Didn't think so.

Hello everyone. Sorry that I haven't written in an email in five-ever. I've had quite a lot to do these last couple weeks, so an entertainment email is one of the lower things on my list. Sorry. I care about all of you. I just care about my homework a little bit more.

What have I been up to? Grinding homework every day and committing my time to things I shouldn't. I really should drop something, but I don't really want to. I kinda like all the stuff I have to do. Emphasis on the kinda.

I went to Apple Valley, Utah for the long weekend. I had to play doctor/nurse with Taylor because all of our friends were so deathly ill that I thought we were cooked, but I didn't catch it. I slept on a couch cushion on the floor, and it was actually the best sleep I've had in a long time. We went to Zion National Park. I waved at people using a mannequin arm that my friend stole from Target many years ago (I don't condone theft), which was very entertaining. A kid in the car in front of us started a show and tell, and he couldn't beat the arm. He gave up.

When we entered the park, the ranger asked the regular question: "Are you all American citizens?" You may think, "Will is a pretty white guy. He is also from Provo, where there is absolutely no diversity. They probably said yes." You are correct on all counts. However, we lied. One of my friends, who was with us, is definitely not an American citizen. We said yes, and then everyone turned and stared at him without considering how that might look to a ranger. She shrugged and let us pay the citizen price anyway. I don't think she gets paid enough.

I've built a couple cool things lately! My personal website now has a connector that gets the last song I listened to on Spotify. My library app has a bunch of new features that make it more usable and more interesting.

I don't have a lot of other things going on. I am just trying to survive, really. More midterms = more pain and more suffering. I hate school. I can't wait to grow up and have a job and a family and hobbies and responsibilities and taxes... wait. Actually, school's not so bad. It's just exhausting.

See ya,
Will
