My MComm teacher assigned us to find someone more stressed out than ourselves and do something nice for them. The finding someone more stressed than me part of that is easy. My entire family counts, what with Ariel and Mom's car crash and Dad still having a crazy job. Also Ariel preparing to come out here to BYU. But they're far away, and I wanted to do something more local.
Still not difficult to find stressed out people. As I lie on the couch typing this, I have on almost sitting on my feet (Dr. Baltar) and another next to me (Dr. Baltar's roommate who we can call Loki).
Dr. Baltar is frantically trying to finish a programming project. He also leaves on his mission to Belize in just over a month. He's making preparations for that, and also figuring out what to do with his computers right before and while he's on his mission.
Loki is going on a motorcycle trip with his brother this summer, but keeps running into problems with the bike. Also roadtripping all over America on a motorcyle is a stressful undertaking.
So what did I do for these guys? Got them food. What else?
I dragged them and the other guys outside for a bit while we did homework and ate otter pops. Now I'm feeding them lemon sherbet. It's not much. But I think it's helpful. Dr. Baltar says that just having a girl around the apartment helps the guys feel better. I'm not sure to what extent that's true, since I think I barely count as a girl for most of them. But you know. Whatever works. They have a good sound system, M&Ms, and most importantly, a more social atmosphere than my apartment that houses two hermits.
I feel like these boys do more for me than I do for them. But I guess what's important is that we're all happy. And we are.
