DIG! watch it now.
Life is a little crazy. I've decided I am not going to class today because I don't want to waste 5 hours of my time (2.5 hours of class, 2 hours of driving, 30 min. of inbetweeness) to go to French class where we never do anything or Jane Austen class, which I love and is fun but is not worth $10 in gas. So I am staying home, studying for my test on the Vietnam War tomorrow. And tomorrow I get to go back to school! YAY!Not that I don't like being home, but being home and commuting is just not working out at all. It's ok for a day or two, but yeah, very boo hiss. La ti da. I think I am going to become a vegetarian one day. I can see it coming in the nearish future. No specific time yet, and I don't have that final motivation to make me switch over, but I have a feeling by the time I graduate from college, I will be a vegetarian. Just some food for thought. Pun intended. I am hungry. Life has been crazy lately. Lots of work, lots of stuff, lots of school, lots of Fair Tradeisms. I've been not sleeping well. Except I slept in today. It was faaabulous. I got a new (for me) BJM cd and the movie DIG! Which I am watching this weekend I think with some TCU lovelies. The cd is pretty awesome. Anton (lead singer/songwriter) is um...how to say it?...fucking insane. A little scary, but he's a musical genius, so you know, it's ok. You people should check them out on iTunes, because you can preview stuff and all I ever do lately is blather on here about how awesome they are so you should too. Off to study and eat now. The weather has been so amazing lately. la la la la la!
not if you were the last dandy on earth
It has been some time. Life update:I am Co-Coordinator/Co-President for Frogs for Fair Trade. Yay. It takes up a lot of time. But I think it's all worth it. Perhaps. I read the "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" yesterday. It was lovely. I enjoy my college English classes, but there are times when I remember Mrs. Langford's class and can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. It was so. . .there are no words. It was. I spent the majority of this weekend listening to awesome music and working on homework. I wrote a paper for my Jane Austen class. I think it is pretty awesome. I hope my professor either loves it or tears is to pieces in a helpful way. Some feedback would be nice for once. Things are starting to pick up. Life is really busy. There is not a lot of time. It's all good though; if I'm not going a hundred miles an hour, I get bored. "If everything seems under control, you aren't going fast enough." -Mario AndrettiI found that quote today. I like it. This weekend/next week I will be in Southlake because my parents are going out of town. Yay for dog watching/Kyle chauffering/commuting to school! If only I didn't have two history tests and an English paper due that week. Boo hiss. Life is generally good. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about when life is crazy and you look at your schedule and realize it's just going to get busier and crazier and you can't help but laugh manically and feel so proud of yourself for pushing everything to the limit?I feel like that right now. It's refreshing. The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Belle & Sebastian make me so happy.As do my fabulous TCU friends. We went to Jazz by the Blvd. this weekend. It was nice. We all sat there talking and then fell asleep (or almost fell asleep) lying on a blanket listening to jazz music. My friend Leslie and I had lunch yesterday and then talked for like an hour about the most random stuff. We started talking about how when you're a school, you're doing so much stuff, pushing yourself, growing, thinking, learning, etc. but when you go to apply for a job or whatever, you can't put that down. College experiences can't be quantified, which basically makes them useless. But "useless" experiences, the ones that can't be quantified, are practically the only experiences worht having I think. How many of our accomplishments from high school are really going to stay with us? I mean, if we can put it on our resume, it generally wasn't something worth doing, other than for the purpose of our resume. Not always, but in general. Just a thought. Yesterday it rained and was 70 degrees. AMAZING.I'm going to go get some Fair Trade coffee and sit outside and read before French class at 2. It's sunny and 75. I may just die of contentedness. Yay life.
right now:
diet coke and granola with soy milk. Jefferson Airplane Volunteers record playing. I now own Their Satanic Majesties Request by The Rolling Stones. It is sunny. French in 45 minutes. avoiding reading. psychadelic rock makes me feel neat. i wonder what they felt like when they were writing these songs. i bet it was awesome. lovely Cream poster on my wall. home after french. family time tonight and all this weekend. yay?I'm back to debating between English and history. history is winning again. English was definitely ahead last week though. Hard to say. Fair Trade business makes me happy. I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile with my life. It's a nice feeling. I enjoy reading things in French. I'm working on Waiting for Godot right now. It's interesting. I'm not very good at it, but I think maybe I'm getting there. We'll see. I think an internship at a publishing company might be interesting for next summer. I shall have to investigate. San Francisco maybe? I'll put some flowers in my hair. I heart McSweeneys. Working for them would be neat. I like the people who live in my hall. Yay. Guitar solos are nifty. I wish I could play the piano. TCU is playing Baylor on Sunday. We made "Beat the Baptists" t-shirts. tee hee. I need to get gas before I leave for Southlake because the little light thing came on last time I was driving. Boo high gas prices. French class now.
