Dun Dun na-NAH! (Don't pretend you don't know what sound this is)

I don't have much time, but I just want to post the scores from last night's game against our friends the mice:

People: 1 Mice: 0

That's right. This morning I went to the bathroom as soon as I woke up, which meant I had not put my contacts in (You may think this is useless info, but it is relevant). Upon exiting the bathroom, I looked at the mousetrap on the floor and thought, "Hmmm... I can't really see, but I think there is a large something with a skinny little tail sitting in that trap." Squinting doesn't really help and I didn't want to get up really close, so I called my roommate, Stephanie, to come check it out. She screamed. That was when I knew it was a victory! The scary part was disposing of it. I held a bag while Stephanie put it in the bag (with a rubber glove on). But we are brave. Mostly. Stephanie I think is still minorly traumatized. But I feel great.

So yeah. We caught a mouse! Bring it, mice. Bring it. I definitely don't think their side of the score board is going up any time soon, because, let's be honest, they aren't going to kill one of us. We, on the other hand, have launched a major offensive, and it is only going to get worse, so I am declaring victory!

Whenever I start to feel down, whenever I feel like these mice just might win, I think of what Winston Churchill would say:

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.

That's right.
