Well, today I received my first ever parking ticket. I heard that IU built a whole parking garage off of parking fines. A little ironic, really. If I had left twenty minutes earlier I wouldn't have gotten the ticket... grumble grumble
The Week of Nightmarish Busy-ness is almost over. 2 homework assignments, 2 exams, a paper (in Italian...), physics/ astronomy open house and an undetermined volume of coffee later, I'm about to cross the finish line after one last exam tomorrow. That is, until the multitude of other things spring up like they somehow do.
I think I've finally understood why my life is so crazy busy. Well, I can tell you the obvious answer (or trivial solution, as we call it in linear algebra... Ha! Get it?! No?...) to that, which is just that I do too damn much. But, the underlying reason is that I simply cannot say no. I should have paid more attention in elementary and middle school when they taught how to say no to drugs... When people ask me to do things for them, or if I want to be involved in such and such, or go to dinner, or be in a haunted house, etc. etc... I can't say no! Mostly because those things are fun and exciting! And, let's be honest, you're only young once and college is the time of life when you will have opportunities to do some amazing and unique things that you probably won't be able to any other point. There is so much cool stuff going on all the time! How can you say no to playing flag football, or going sailing on a clear autumn day, or going to a concert on a wednesday night before an exam?
Eh, in 10 years I'll be able to look back and 'appreciate' my lifestyle. Ok, let's be honest- I'll be more insane by then. Unlike a wine, I do not mature with time. Luckily I get sweeter! And my humor gets drier! Haha! Am I not so witty?!

A Word From The Not-So-Wise
Things that work in movies rarely, if ever, work in real life. Just so you know.
But I'm a big fan of the 'try everything once to figure out if it works' method. Which often backfires.

To All You Rude Starers Out There,
QUIT YOUR RUDE STARING. Didn't your mother ever teach you to not stare at people? IT'S RUDE.
Maybe I shouldn't get so irritated when somebody makes eye contact with me for more than 2 seconds, but seriously, can I help you with something?

Fitter Happier
As you've probably already noticed, I changed the layout of my blog! Or maybe you haven't noticed... All the blogs that I read I get updates from through google reader and rarely even visit the actual website. Technology these days...
I'm drinking some chai tea that I purchased in Flagstaff this summer. Cue the bittersweet nostalgia.
I can honestly say that this summer was by far the most exciting, memorable, and fun time of my life. I met numerous very cool people, saw nature at its most intense and awe-inspiring moments, got caught in a wildfire, did some amazing hiking/camping, did some really cool research, learned more dance, and made some amazing and truly fantastic friends. This summer will forever live in infamy, in the top echelon, a sort of dreamy and unreal time of my life when everything was perfect. When I drink this tea, it's like I'm transported back to Arizona: I'm sitting in the parking lot at McKay, my apartment building, talking on the phone, watching the clouds roll in over the San Fran peaks. A pristine day in Flagstaff. I'm happy in that carefree way where it seems that everything in your life is just going so perfectly. Work is satisfying (well, mostly), there are no obligations once I return home and am free to contentedly hang out with my friends all night, I'm physically active, there are mountains in my backyard, I write super cool fortran programs and plot fun things in SM, and I'm happily involved with the man that it seems I've been waiting my whole life for.
Isn't it strange how the most innocent and subtle of senses can trigger such an intense deja vu or memory of a specific time or point in your life? It always surprises me that such simple things such as a song or a smell or even a type of weather condition can take you back in time. Yeah. The weather.
Now fast-forward 2 months from that unrealistically perfect Flagstaff day.

Regret
That Chipotle burrito I ate yesterday is officially out for revenge.
A more substantial post later, I hope.
