What a coincidence!

So lately I've been noticing someone showing up almost every place I go.  It seems like it doesn't matter where I go, this person will show up there too.  No matter what.  Now I cannot call this stalking... yet.  It is simply a coincidence, that seems to keep happening over and over.  A lot of you already know who this is.  For those of you who dont, it is Mr. Dykstra.
Let me just explain a few things.  First of all, his kids go to my house because my mother does daycare for them.  So it is a routine for him to go to my house each morning to drop his kids off, and then pick them up in the afternoons.  Recently I've been walking in the halls during class, and because everyone is usually in class, the halls are pretty much empty.  Except for when I turn the corner to see Dykstra walking down the hall.  It never fails.  He is always there.  There is also some classroom right next to my locker that he loves to walk in and out of frequently.  Now, lets recap.  Dykstra is at my house everyday, he passes me in the halls at least five times a day, and is constantly in a room right by my locker. The only days where I do not have to see him (no that seeing him is a bad thing..) are Saturday and Sunday.  But WAIT!  This last Sunday I was at church getting some hot chocolate before the service when I heard a familiar voice behing me.  I turned around shocked to see Dykstra standing in front of me.  So now he claims he has been going to my church for like five years, just about as long as I have been there; yet I have never seen him there before.
As you can see, he is everywhere.  I guess my only day that I go without seeing him now is Saturday. But I'm sure that'll change eventually too!

America?

So everyone in Comp got this assignment to find two articles about America. One good, one bad.  Welll I looked for the articles when I was in the lab on Thursday and only found articles that talked bad about America. So I figured I would just write about the bad and find the good article this weekend at home.  I waited till now, Sunday, to find that "good" article and I can NOT find it!! I can find about a billion bad articles but not one, not even one, good one.  I typed into google "good things about america" and it gave me all these stupid articles that had titles like: one good thing about america is we know how to get drunk, or one good thing about america is girls are willing to take their clothes off for anyone. WHAT!? that is not what I was looking for at all! I'm getting really frustrated because I want to get this assignment done but it is obviously impossible to find anything.  I'm actually gettting really mad because seriously it should not be this hard.  Like I cant really name anything good about America right off the top of my head but there should be articles! I found one article that talked about how good Facebook is for America, because it like keeps us all connected or something, but I know that article wont fly with Dykstra. So I am still "stuck in the mud." I am wasting my time writing this blog instead of looking for an article but I seriously think I looked for about fifteen minutes and I read a few that I thought might be good but they were like two paragraphs long.  Stupid.  But I should probably get back to my search to find a good article before I waste anymore time.  But on the bright side, I just got my blog done for the week.  Too bad it wasnt positive (:
