Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

Apple commercials. Gotta love them. They always have the best music. Par example:
- Technologic - Daft Punk
- Walkie Talkie Man - Stereogram
- 1234 - Feist
- Jerk It Out - The Caesars
Those are just a couple.
Yesterday I went to Capitol Hill for this forum my Government teacher was going to be included in. It was for a Black Congressional Caucus on racial profiling. It was pretty interesting. And there was free food. It was slightly hard navigating my way around the office building. The forum was in the Rayburn building which is one of many buildings that make up the capitol. I arrived at Capitol Hill early so I could walk around and kill some time. I went to the US Botanical Gardens, which is free. The garden is a observatory so everything was inside. In the main garden they were having an orchid exhibition. It was so humid and heavily scented . The air smelled like vanilla, cinnamon, and fresh rain. I wanted to lay down on the ground and fall asleep. I probably could have. The garden was relatively deserted on account of it being a Wednesday afternoon. I need to go back and bring my camera. What a sight.
Today during dinner, Angela told me that my notes are "funny." I didn't know what she meant by funny, and I didn't ask. I was more interested in the fact that she actually read my blog. The only people who I am 100% sure read it are...
- My parents
- Lee
I, Lauren Elisabeth Oliver, will give one chocolate chip cookie to whomever reads this blog. If you read the note I import onto Facebook, please leave a comment underneath the note along with instructions on when and how you would like to receive your reward.
To my Kansas friends, your cookie will probably have to wait until March or May so you don't have a lot of say.
