life is not fair

In almost one week I will be at camp. I love CITing Early Week.

I was at the mall today, and the fire alarm went off. They have individual fire alarms on the walls in every store literally every ten feet. What, do they think if you're sitting twenty feet from a fire alarm you'll miss the blaring loud noise and the blinding flashes of light every three seconds? I feel sorry for the people who had to put those fire alarms up.

Today I was texting my friend, and we were discussing how life is not fair because she has 60+ cousins and I have zero. (Except for Grace, who might turn out to be my 124th cousin when we finally dig out the family trees and compare ancestors. And then I'd have nine cousins because Grace has eight brothers and sisters.) But then we realized that if life was completely fair, there would be no surprises because everyone would have exactly the same things. And if life really was fair, there would be no such thing as grace. Which immediately made me think, "Thank you, Jesus, for making life not fair." Which is probably the strangest prayer I've ever prayed.

Aviator sunglasses are worse than huge bug-eyed ones.

Why is it that like 98.57341% of my friends live far away? I have friends in Florida, Ohio, Minnesota, Georgia, Colorado and Virginia. I have friends in California, Texas, Russia, England, Canada, and the Caribbean. They all need to move to NC.

Thank you, Alexander Graham Bell and whoever invented the computer. Who would've thought that words could be transferred from one end of the world to the other in milliseconds?

I have a nice, relaxing day tomorrow with nothing to do but complete my chemistry course. Maybe I'll walk down to Stonegate and hang out with Nicole. Or call someone. Or just chill at home.

Happy summer to all, and to all a good night.
