sometimes i feel like im sitting in a beach chair at the bottom of a crater on mars. most of the time, i could give a shit about whats going on back on earth, but there every once in a while that little feeling in the back of my mind pulls at me, and i wonder what i'm missing.
i was at the socal regional for robotics this weekend. the robot we built, which didnt do so well in sacramento, dominated this time. if it wasnt for a cable that came loose in the last match of the semifinals, we wouldve gone all the way. we were one ball cap away from beating the nubmer one seeded robot, which was really no match for ours. fuck, im such a nerd.
my cousin erin moved out here from ohio and is living with me. shes been trying to find a career job, and then another job until she finds a real job. she's awesome, we've been hanging out nonstop.
in a week or so i should know where im bound. tomorrow tufts acceptances come out. tuesday is berkeley. penn is april 4th.
i have a D in psychology. i take astronomy at pierce on tuesday nights. our teacher is really eccentric, but she likes me. the other week venus and saturn were in full alignment, and she pulled out some telescopes so we could see the planets. you can see saturn's rings. sometimes, i consider where i'm at in life and try to make sense of it. two years ago i thought it all made sense. the parties, the social life, not caring about things but actually caring, which really meant i didnt care that much. things like that are just a white blur. everything in context is so clear, but when you stack up a couple years its becomes liquid. does it even really matter? we dont even matter. the world is nothing compared to a prominence of the sun, compared to intergalactic space. reality is an asteroid.
