ive been feeling like a bit of a man-whore lately. not in the sexual way, but just like im playing the field too damn much. and it's certainly breaking my bank account. nothing has materialized; i suppose if i were being logical i would either stop or change my interests to the strictly physical. but i want to get over my addiction, while still overwhelmed with hormones. i wonder if ill look back on this phase of my life and regard it as meaningful or a complete waste of fucking time.
currently riding an intellectual growth spurt out. being an overachiever in the courses i excel at, and pursuing topics i have yet to be graded for. it's increasingly all coming together; the web of contemporary issues are inseparable, and my experience in western political thought is helping me recognize patterns in logic. next semester i plan on dedicating myself to becoming a more well-rounded individual, because in many ways ive become too specialized in my academic pursuits. starting tonight, im teaching myself how to draw. sketched a dragon which i am very proud of, and when next i make it into the library ill scan it up for critique. will also be taking speech for actors as - mainly because it is the only other speech course at flagler aside from com101. but hopefully ill gain new skills and a better appreciation for the performing arts.
