sundaymars 2009: part 02

like a good neighbor

Good morning! The sun is shining bright in the sky and the computer lab is mostly emptied, but that is a huge contrast to the amount of people here waiting in the line just outside of the glass-walled computer lab. They are not waiting to use the computers, but to speak with someone about this or that. I believe most have come to discuss issues with their unemployment claims. I cannot speak for the rest. All of the chairs are full and people are standing up in the back of the room. There are only two people at the desks so the process is slow. I am here to listen to people from State Farm speak. I have been told that there will be a large group to hear them speak. With thirty minutes left until the person from State Farm speak, there is only one person standing by the door to the room where a State Farm representative will speak. I keep looking over my shoulders to see if I should just go inside and take a seat. I will do so in a moment.

The main roads were all clear so the commute here was not that bad. The sun is shining bright. There were parts of the driveway leading to the bus stop that were iced over from the ice and snow that fell on Friday and Saturday. I took some pictures this past weekend. It felt good to be back into photographing life with my old digital camera. I used my cellphone on some photos as well. It actually takes better quality pictures than my old digital camera. I may have to enhance the photos a bit, but they are still quality-worthy.

Last night without even meaning to do so, I watched Amélie. It felt really good watching it. I feel ever more encouraged to become a linguist. I even had a dream where I discussed my fascinaation with foreign languages to someone. So I will become a linguist. But back to Amélie. I never realized how much I really enjoy watching this film. I could go on and on about various aspects of this remarkable film, but I shall leave it that.

People are starting to sit down in the room. I must get a seat. Au revoir!
