Terri Rodriguez …the beauty is in what isn’t said
Categories: Everyday, Personal

I’m feeling a little off today but not necessarily in a bad way. Just strange. The weekend was nice but felt short.

Went and saw The Strangers on Saturday. Now, some may mock me for saying this but it has been a long time since a movie really scared me… but man, The Strangers sort of got to me because the premise of the film is believable and could happen to practically anyone.

Funny thing, I scared the crap out of myself last night. I was heading to bed and because it was extremely hot in my apartment I decided to turn on the AC to cool off my room for a little while. Since I only have one AC I had to close the door because the rest of the windows in my house were open. On my way into my room I realized that I’d forgotten to turn the kitchen light off so when I did I made sure the fan was on but turned the light off. My ceiling fan is old and the piece that holds the bulb straight is dangling a little (not badly, but enough). I turned the fan on and started to walk into my room and all of a sudden there was this crazy clicking sound that sounded like someone grabbing the door knob of my kitchen door and trying to get in. I swear my whole body ran cold. Hahaha, then I remembered the dangling bulb and looked up - the plastic was hitting the casing of the fan. Oy, I laughed out loud for like five minutes at how completely skiddish I’d become in a matter of one day.

Even though it was just a movie, it made me think about being a little more prepared if someone were to try to get into my house. Anyway…

Other than that I didn’t do much of anything yesterday. Watched a bunch of movies, hung out. It’s been a pretty relaxed summer vacation so far. When I met with Prof. C on Friday she gave me an application for an internship with Senator Reid, so I’m thinking about doing that as well. I’ve been doing a lot of reading, thanks to PaperBackSwap, watching movies and doing little things that I wanted to get done during the school year but couldn’t because of time issues.

I guess that’s it for now… Maybe I’ll write more soon.

P.S. Today is my one year anniversary. :)
