Day 31. I've Been Here A Month!

Today was sort of a low point for me since I've been here. Midterms hit like a sledgehammer, along with the realization that if I don't work my butt off I may not get into grad school, and since I want to keep my options open, it would be wise to do so.

I missed friends from home, felt myself starting to get sick, and finished a crappy book, devoting three hours of my life only to find that the ending sucked and having to force myself to read about a subject I really don't care that much about.

A positive. I got a new phone today, which is fun. It's blue. :-)

And I missed a phone call from someone that I really wanted to talk to because I haven't in a very long time.

I'm listening to a lot of "classical" music lately, which could account for the headache, considerring that I'm wired to actually LISTEN to classical music and all the different parts to really get what the composer is writing. Yeah, Mozart, not so hard. Shostakovich, it's getting there. Debussy, OW. The guy was a flipping genius. I just can't listen to his music while doing anything else. It turns my head in so many directions it hurts.

I also can't wait for snow. I need to go REALLY fast down a hill again.

Oh. Read some Ecclesiastes as well. That'll bum you out, but it excites me to hear one of the wisest man ever to live talk so realistically about the world.

And I think I need to sleep now.
