All I want to do right now is go to sleep, but that is not possible because I am at work. I work at the library, which is actually pretty brilliant because it's basically next door to by building and I can leave at 3:59 and make it in time for my 4:00 shift. Today, however, I am stuck in the basement. When I am upstairs in circulation or media, it is busy enough that I don't get bored, and yet I can still get some work done. In the basement, however, especially at the beginning of the semester, there is literally no one around. It is cold and I am alone. I lied. There is one man who looks about 50 with reddish and rapidly disappearing hair who is on the computer here 24/7. He has the most disgustingly hacking cough I have ever heard. I cringe every time I hear it. He sits and goes on message boards from the time the library opens to the time it closes. I can kind of see what message board he's on, and I googled the name of it and came up with tons of sites about chatrooms for str8 Jamaican men who like to talk about sex. I am disturbed by this man.

Plus I have "Applied Music: Piano," which is basically just piano lessons, thrown in at a different time each week because of my professor's performing schedule.
It's thrilling. My Fiction professor is an absolute goddess. My Honors professor is Dutch and has the thickest glasses and most rad accent. My French professor is insane but I'm actually learning for once, unlike all those wonderful years back at the fine establishment of Smithtown High School West. American Art is fucking amazing I'm obsessed with it. I don't know about Sociology yet because my professor didn't actually show up for the first class. Some random person came in and pretended to be teaching the class and did this icebreaker thing; it was wonderful.
I love being back at school. I love the library when it's quiet and that strange man is not hacking up a lung. Baltimore is super-chouette. I can't wait to go abroad; I think about it all of the time. I have been looking up ways to make money while traveling so I will be able to putz around the world after I graduate. Majoring in something only because it will make you money is a waste. Not that I have ever entertained the idea of majoring in something that will make me money. It's okay though. I am going to be a vagabond! Exciting. I am going to go read some Augustine so I won't have it hanging over me all weekend.
