The first part of May, I went to Mexico for a long weekend with some friends while writing my final paper and knowing I had a 10 page essay final exam yet to write when I got home.  It was a nice little breather. 

We had a lot of creeping friends at the resort

When I landed I went straight to meet B at his User Group Conference.  This time it was in Salt Lake and not Park City.  Every year it gets bigger and the “I love B’s” from his customers get more ridiculous.  I even had one of his customers tell me that if I didn’t want him anymore, she would take him and she doesn’t even like men (if you know what I mean).

This is totally random, but because it is totally random I thought I’d share.  Also when I got back I went in to talk to my professor about my final exam and as I am leaving she says “oh I sat next to your neighbor on an airplane last week”.  And this is what went through my head: “oh no which neighbor? How the heck did they figure out that connection? Oh wait do I have any neighbors that would say anything bad about me? Would I have wanted to be a fly on the wall and listened to them talk about me? Is this something I should be worried about? Can this hurt or possibly help my grade?” Well, it was my neighbor directly across the street and she just happened to ask what my professor does for a living and when she said she’s a philosophy professor at the U. Pam (said neighbor) says “oh my neighbor is a philosophy student at the U, do you know Kristin Taylor?” and get this…….she was grading my final paper on the plane sitting next to Pam – at that moment!  Bizarre!! I know…  They each told me they said nice things about me, and I tend to not share about my personal life in my classes so I guess Pam updated her on all those personal details – that I needed to be a fly on the wall to know what details she chose to share.  I read a quote recently that said: What other people think about me is none of my business….So much easier said than done!

Which brings me to Mother’s Day and writing that 10 page essay exam. After going to sacrament meeting I went home and basically did this the entire day.

But B got me this amazingness.

And made breakfast and dinner and left me alone.  Next Mother’s day I will be graduated!!

I did end up with these grades – so it was a good Mother’s day- in hindsight- Go me!
