The first week of school is almost coming to a close.
It's been pretty good- my new classes are very exciting (although they look like they have the potential to be really hard...).
Right now, being a student in a college that has 40,000+ students constantly reminds me how insignificant I am. It's a little sad at times. I really want to do something with my life. I want to make a real difference in the world, but doing anything other than school seems a lifetime away. Not that I don't enjoy it- I love my new classes and whatnot, but it's easy to get excited about the future and want it here now! I guess I just have to be patient... :)

In other news: The truth is there isn't much other news. I don't have much to say on any front. How disappointing and boring this is turning out to be, right?!

The World At Large

Today I returned to my summer job, after a vacation in Italy. Pretty much pizza hut is a wreck without me. OK, so maybe it just HAPPENED to be very hectic and disorganized the day I returned... coincidence, though? I think not.

I'm actually pretty tired for once, so I may turn in soon. It could have something to do with staying up until 5AM this morning and experiencing the high-stress work environment again.

My bed is calling my name! And this post was pathetically short and anti-climactic. I must be up tomorrow for garage-sale-ing, so it's off to bed with me!!!

Crash Crash Bang Bang!!!

The ipod froze today- correction- it is still frozen.
The computer shut down of its own accord today. Paul McCartney officially shell-shocked Ripley my PC.
My electronics must feel abused or the like.

I have life to my right and the Universe to my left. Of course, life is cereal and the Universe is a book...
Wow, I really have nothing else to post! This was pretty pointless!!! :D

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.
