Jet Lag!

I woke up at 7 this morning, which I can never remember doing of my own accord. I can thank wonderful jet lag for that.
The whole of this summer vacation was the light at the end of the tunnel, and it seemed I was constantly waiting for it... Now that it's gone, I don't know what to do with my life. I have little more than a month until I need to be at school. There is of course work between now and then, but the less I think about mindless and menial Pizza Hut labor, the better.
I am, in general, excited for school to start. I have lots of very exciting classes this year, including a hands-on astronomy course where we get to use the school telescopes during labs (or so I think...), and music lessons for my truly horrible violin skills or lack thereof. But then I start to think about all the blundering neanderthals that comprise nearly 100% of the student population, the loud partying, the mounds of homework, the very hot weather and biking up that steep Jordan Avenue, and crappy college food...
I wanted to wash the stinky dog I'm dogsitting, but it inconveniently rained and stormed through the night and morning. My sister, who owns the dog, left with her family and another sister for a trip to Florida today, so there's not too many people to annoy.
I am feeling ambitious today, but I can't think of anything to do... Is it possible to feel inspired and lazy at the same time?? :)
I am right now listening to a free song I downloaded. It's called For Beginners by M. Ward. I really like it, so you should check it out too, because my word is law!!!
I'm off to fulfill myself by doing highly ambitious things! Like sitting around! And surfing the web!

Jeremy is my squishy caterpillar that I got from my sister-in-law.
This is for you, Sarah.

Tuesdays and Voicemails

So, I have one class on tuesday, and it's a really pointless, serious waste of my time. So I decided I would skip it and spend the day more enjoyably by hanging out with my sister. In the long list of amazingly fun things that you wish you had done are:
-Eating at an amazing Thai restaurant! Both Sarah and I decided we liked everything they had- which is very strange for me at least.
-Drinking good hot chocolate/chai lattes and eating triple chocolate gelato at Pourhouse Cafe, an awesome coffee shop.
-Trying to go to a currently closed Antique Shop, but in the meantime finding an awesome Attorney Office called Kelly Belcher and Brown.
-Going to Wal-mart and proceeding to purchase water, a water bottle, and a Colts calendar.

All in all, a day well spent.
Oh, and I got an official call from IU. And they got my embarassing- and notorious- voicemail.
So, everybody will be happy to know that I officially changed my voicemail tonight to an eerily NORMAL and AVERAGE one.

VOTE EARTH!

Turn your lights off from 8:30-9:30 to conserve energy.
Reasons for people who aren't environmentalists, treehuggers, or are just ignorant:
-It will make a cool before and after picture if taken from space.
-There are some really neat thunderstorms going on right now, and with lights off you can see them better!

And... that's all I got!
DO IT NOW!!!!

My Second Very Pointless Post

I had a very strange dream the other day before I came back to Ye Olde Bloomington. It goes as follows, verbatim from my sleep-induced scribbles:
Dad was downstairs, doing something annoying. I got back and watched some TV with friends. It was really late. I went upstairs, there was a mirror in the hall next to the bathroom where there were paintings before. The paintings were in my room. I was mad that Dad used my paintings. I heard 'Pomp and Circumstance' playing somewhere in the house when I was going to play a keyboard in my room. An image in my head of 2 girls at the piano playing. I thought the music came from Mom's room. I was getting changed when Mom knocked and came in. I got mad and said rude things to her and she yelled at me. I went back to my room at like midnight knowing I had to wake up at like six. I started to sing the lyrics to 'You never give me your money' by The Beatles.

Sometimes I wonder for my sanity. This dream description is vague, but I guess you can use your imagination. On another, but related, note, I finally found a suitable dream journal!!! I have been searching for something that just gives the vibe of a dream journal and I found one last week. I'm super excited, so now I have to find all the horrible, illegible notes I've written my dreams on during the years: oh joy.

I'm currently listening to Hey Jude... I recently discovered Sarah and I have the same favorite part. And the original Beatles version is kinda funny, because they get really crazy at the end... Gotta love the 60's.
