When I sign-up for work, I think I will breathe a sigh of relief. Although I know there is a job out there for me, it is one of those things that I'd like to find sooner than later. Until then, there seems to be no end in the applications I could fill out or company websites I could scour searching for openings.
I will graduate in early May with a large group of my friends including my fiance Lisa Ann Rogers. We will marry in late June. From that point forward I feel that it will be a great comfort to not be alone all night. To know that my love is sleeping next to me or in the other room if I'm up late doing work will be a wonderful feeling. It is already when I stay late at her house doing homework. That is perhaps one of the things I look forward to most about marraige.
I wonder how much of my life will be determined by the work that I will do. Will I be identified by the work I do? Probably.
Well this rambling will lead to boredom, so let's switch gears for a bit.
I think it was my Grandpa Martin that taught me that a shower shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. I was maybe 10 at the time, and while the details are sketchy, I think besides wasting the hot water, part of the problem was my loud, repeating rendition of the National Anthem that was traveling through the bathroom walls that led to this lesson on short showering. Since that time, I have made a name for myself in the annals of quick showering. My shower methodology is decent, if not perfect. It has kept me mostly clean for many years now. I can't imagine what people are doing in the shower if they take more than 5 minutes...especially men. Women have more hair to clean. Really though, you wash your hair and body. It takes about 6 seconds to wash your hands. Why 10 minutes for the body? The surface area ratio if calculated from hands to body at 6 seconds to x equals 270 seconds or 4.5 minutes.
Soon I'll be 23.

You know, the shower is a great place to escape and relax. I like to strech in the shower, and let the hot water relax my muscles. At the same time, I like to let my conditioner sit in my hair for a minute or so, because I think that helps my hair. So, back when I used to just be a smelly little boy, I could take 5 minute showers, just washing my whole body with the bar of soap, and shampoo in and out. Now that I've got shampoo, conditioner, fancy soap, and body wash, it takes a bit longer. However, your point is well received and stated.
Leaving conditioner in your hair for a minute is better for it! Hooray for Philip, the boy with the healthy, soft and shiny hair. Boo for Andrew, the boy with the stinky, hard and sticky hair.
