So I'm feeling a little blah today. There is no reason why. Perhaps it is PMS or something. Who knows? So what is my blah? Well, it is a little like boredom, minor depression, discontentment, and the pressure from too much to do and not having the willpower to do it. My house needs a scrubbing. My research is piled up in the living room waiting impatiently for me to sort through it and I have a stack of reading about the size of eight King James Version Bibles to get through. I want to take Myah shopping for some summer clothes but I don't have the money available. I want to get some good coffee at one of the coffee houses in town but I'm too lazy to leave the house and I don't want our poopy coffee. I thought about watching the Detroit Tigers play but I don't see the sense in spending all that time in front of the TV. The Tigers are still in first place, hee hee. So, I'm just kinda blah right now.

Yesterday was a fantabulous day though. FOM and I went to Grand Haven to a local museum. Very fun. Of course anytime FOM and I go museum touring we have a good time. After the tour we got some coffee and got caught up with each other's lives. I hadn't seen FOM in about two weeks. All in all, it was four hours of museum touring, coffee slugging, wonderful conversation, and slightly perverse jokes. Yep, good day.

So far I haven't heard anything else about the scholarship. I don't know if that is a good sign or not. The committee said that they wouldn't have an answer until the beginning of July so I know I shouldn't be so impatient, but I am anyway. Oh, I did have a reporter for my school call me about the special history course/project that I had last fall and winter semesters. She wanted a student's perspective on it and I talked with her about the project for about twenty minutes. The article is coming out in the fall issue of the college's magazine which goes out to all alumni and parents of students. The special project I spent six months on was about local men involved in the Second World War who went to New Guinea in the South Pacific to fight off the advancing Japanese army. We interviewed veterans and hunted down film footage of New Guinea during the War. Then we took all of the research and made a one hour PBS style documentary that we are hoping PBS will air. The documentary will be shown at several local venues around Veterans' Day and I am quite proud of it. It was a lot of work and some frustration, but it was a worthwhile effort and telling a little known part of WWII history.

Anyhow, that is about it for the lovely life of the Nita.
