Today, I was trying to set up our student computer in our office. Scratch that. I DID set up our new computer! And right when I was about to be proud of myself, I realized that I had NO idea how to get internet to it. I had an internet cord in my hand in that moment. I knew that I did, because the sticker said "internet cord." hahaha So I e-mailed our IT guy to ask him if we could get wireless. His response?
Something technical followed by use your coworkers data switch. My response?
A one line e-mail that said, "If I were a data switch what would I look like?".
I would have preferred plug it into the blue and black box with the wires sticking out of it. haha. At that point my coworker came in and showed me what it was. So that's what I learned today! hooray. Plus I tried to google "how does the internet work" but everything was over my head.. :)

words to live by
Where ever you go..there you are. My grandpa used to say this. It means that your mistakes and decisions follow you, so make wise choices!
And in middle school a mentor told me that in every social group there's at least one awkward person. So if you look around and can't identify that person...it's you. :)

the truth shall set you free..and sometimes get you discounted prices.
Today, I learned...
That the green salsa that tastes like grass, is actually tomatillos! Makes sense, because they look like green tomatoes...with husks?
ANYWAY. At church we learned about how sowing seeds of righteousness will lead to good character. Which reiterated something that happened to me earlier in the week. I went to the art museum, and had a choice to make. I could pull out my college ID and pretend like I was a college student and get my ticket price for 5 dollars. OR I could say I was 21 (or younger) and get my ticket for 5 dollars. OR I could tell the truth and pay 9 dollars. Now, I make mistakes and do things wrong ALL the time, but by the grace of God, I chose to tell the lady that I was 22. She said, "Ohhhh, well that's close enough, 5 dollars." It was such a small gesture, but it really made the rest of my experience at the museum SO much more enjoyable.
