School... Say What?!

Well, it's that time of year again where everyone starts school.  Guess I should be getting my things ready.  Books, pencils, class schedule, things of that nature.  Oh wait!  I graduated and have the diploma to prove it.  (Or so my mother says... Since I cannot verify that it was actually sent to my home in Utah, I will have to take her word for it.)  Either way, I did not sign up for Fall classes.  So to spend my Fall semester, I will still be employed by the Walt Disney Company in one of the more glamorous roles that I can have at the Florida Mecca of Disney.  Being a Custodian is great fun.  I know people might say I'm crazy that I would choose to have it as my job, but what can I say?  I love to clean up Disney's Hollywood Studios!

Although my school career is at a close, I can still learn new things!  (See my previous post about words)  But I also have learned a great deal about Water.  My Mom once made an analogy about water.  "Don't be like water because it always finds the easiest route.  The easy way is not always the best way."

My roommate had this to say on water last night.  Needless to say, it is a lot longer and more cryptic.  (And took me two hours to edit!)

A Water Droplet doesn't know what it wants to be, but it does it the right way.  There are three things in the world Water, Ice, and Steam.  Water is in the middle of both Ice and Steam.  Water turns to Steam because of man finding fire. Then the refrigerator and freezer are discovered, well actually the Ice Box was found first.  Water and Ice are similar - (When you freeze Water you get Ice.) - but Water and Steam hang out too - (When Steam occurs it's all wet and stuff). Steam is like, "Hey we aren't making tea right now so you need to freeze up a bit." Water likes this idea, likes ice cream and all those things and is not sure about life.  Water and Ice have a friendship.  So Water has to see if Steam is OK with this 'cold' idea thing.  "I dont want to be warm, I just want to tell warm what is happening."  So, Water and Steam are hanging out and Ice gets mad. Ice meets up with Snow and says, "Lets hang out cause we are really, really similar; ice storms and snow storms see? Everything freezes"  Now Water is jealous, "I'm friends with Ice and Snow, so maybe I made the wrong choice of hanging out with Steam."  Water decides to see Snow and says that it is wrong and wants to move to the North, where Ice and Snow hang out. Ice is fun and makes Water happy and slows it down in a good way.  Molecules aren't moving and neither is Ice.  Ice is scared because it knows that Summer comes once a year. "I want to freeze with you later," says Ice, "but you need to tell somebody. You need to tell Steam that this is gonna happen."  So Ice is gonna hang out in their cool crib, chillin'. You know, being Ice and all.  Ice wants to know what's happening with Water.  (2 hours later B-T-Dubs.)  "It's complicated", says Water as it is turning to Steam.  Ice knew this was gonna happen, a self full-filling prophecy so to speak and it's OK with it.  Ice's heart is broken though, not because Water and Steam are together.  What truly, and really, upsets Ice is that water told Ice that it wanted to be frozen.  Now Ice went back with Snow.  The moral of the story is sometimes the winter comes, but at the end of the day it's going to melt and the river is going to run.

So to all of my friends that have just started school up again, take the advice of my Mom.  Don't take the easy way out like water.  And if you can find a meaning in Michael's story then you can use that too.  (Don't worry I got his permission to use this.)  Good luck in school my friends!  And may the Odds be Ever in your favor!  See what I did there? (Don't judge, it's 4 AM)
