Stereotypical... I try not to be

I really like this Elements of Business law class I am in. I really do, the professor is a really interesting guy, and I guess I think the information is generally interesting. That, and I really know nothing of law, so it is all fairly new information. Or, at least extremely expanded information on a topic I knew close to nothing about. There is a guy though, a guy in my class. He was fairly quiet at first. But, I think now that he has gotten comfortable with the people and environment he blurts out all the time. He has a very, ummm how do I explain this, "elementary" sense of humor. He down plays almost every comment or topic he can, and for the first hour, I could just shurg it off. But the class is nearly 3 hours long, and it just kept going and going. I felt myself getting more and more anxious about this guy. BUT, I kept my mouth shut, although I felt the general consensus of the room probably had a very similar disposition to mine, inclusing the prof. When the class was over, I was walking into the parking garage. The "chatty" gentlemen was behind me, and so I held the door open for him as he approached me. I held the door for maybe 3 seconds. He approached the door, and immideatly pressed the handicapped door opener button. Did not make eye contact with me, and walked right on past. I was almost offended, not outwardly, but inwardly I scrunched my eyes, and felt as though he had personally and rudely attacked me. I walked to my car as if someone has just wronged me. Minutes later, I realized that I had now become "in the wrong." A follower of Christ does not open a door for someone in order to get a thankyou or a pat on the back. A follower of Christ opens a door for someone, even an annoying someone to let them know you care about them, and want to spread this LOVE thing around. In Christ, there need not be recopricity. It's nice when it comes, but I have to watch it. That guy will be on my list now. To be ever careful how I look at him, think about him, and to pray for him. And that's that.

After class I wanted to go get my "TAN" on. So I did just that. And now I feel like I have been sizzling like a weenie on a hibachi. For real! This picture may not show it very clearly, but I am red like a lobster. And of course, because of the protective eye things, I have some real cute WHITE spots around my eyes. All is well though. Not a complaint, just a state of being. Next time I will remember not to tan so long, OR, tan more often. Either alternatitives would have averted this uncomfortable state I am currently in.
