(no subject)
I wrote a letter to a cousin in boot camp. Haven't sent it yet, but I 'm wondering how he'll react. I haven't seen or heard from him in several years so it might be slightly awkward.
I always try to learn from my mistakes, and generally I do. Except in this. I always do the same thing over and over again after telling myself last time that I won't get my hopes up or I won't assume anything, but I can't help it, and then I get let down.
I was really stressed in history today, what with the quiz and handing in our postcolonial Uganda proposals. The people in my group and I just didn't know that we were supposed to make it so long! Why was everybody else's so good? Oh and then there was the part about "it's no excuse if you're in a play or have extracurricular activities" and whatnot in general to the class, but I was htinking in my head, "well if you have 11 hours of rehearsal in one weekend, you're not likely to get a whole lot done, so can't one at least get a slight extension on it?" I have nothing against him. I think he's really cool and a really good teacher and I find him quite inspiring. It's just hard to live up to high expectations, and I really don't want my grade to go down in that class at the end of the year. I've already thrown away two quizes this week, and I doubt it's going to get any better.
This complaining is for me not for you, so don't think anything of it please. But you're still cool if you read it. wow what a weird thing to say.
I love the rain and hail. I went outside in my back yard and danced in the wetness for a while. It was splendidly refreshing, and "rejuvenating." I guess that's what all the beauty stores like to say about rain too. "spring rain fragrance by the boy shop"--"rejuvenating mixture of fresh rain and essence of cool breeze." hah. i love rain, but that's not real rain. rain is different from plain water, H2O. rain is similar to the ocean, it has the same value, but a different kind of effect. experiencing rain on the ocean would be sensational, if it weren't for my outrageous fear of the open seas. that and flying over the open seas. and going into outer space. i would have a panic attack if i ever tried to do that.
