Tomorrow is only a day away...
So I was up until 1:30 studying last night - definitely the latest I've been up to study in the last year. Man, my body doesn't like me right now. I don't do late nighters - I'm the type of person who actually wakes up in the morning to make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so I don't eat crap for lunch...
I slacked off too much for this recent test - generally, I'll start cramming a couple weeks before hand so that, during the week of, I can just sit around and explain concepts to people. It works better that way because, not only do I solidify my knowledge of the materiel, but it feels pretty good to be able to help.
So! This is my new plan of action. I've created a Wikipedia account and for next test I will take one concept from each lecture that really intrigues me, find more sources (credible sources), and make an article about it (if there isn't already one). My writing has gone down hill since High School and this has really started to bother me (ractive makes perfect). Plus, I love the idea of reliable knowledge being accessible to everyone. This world doesn't throw around ideas enough - well, at least not that I've seen... and I think our country would be a better place with more of an emphasis on education... there might be less hate.
I love my boyfriend to death, by the way. It feels so weird to have entered a stage in my relationship that being together feels natural and, as long as we both continue to grow and mature, I don't think that will change. It also feels weird that he survived the stage of our relationship that I freak the fuck out every 5 minutes. I must have asked him >500 (fairly literally) times why the hell he was with me when there were better options out there. I think it was my way of pulling back before the "inevitable" hurt that often comes with breaking up. But I feel more secure now and I love that he was able to make it to this place. I hope that two years will feel this good.
I was also surprised that he stole one of my ideas. I was pretty sad, for a while, this year so I thought up the idea that whenever I am sad I will do something nice for someone else...
Well, I went to a sex party this weekend (females only... just a show of toys and etc. www.slumberparties.com) and neither of us knew how uncomfortable this would make him feel. (His last girlfriend cheated on him... that bitch!) So instead of wallowing he went down to a coffee shop we sometimes study at, took an empty cup and a fork and got the rooms attention. He then told the crowd that it needed to be quick but he wanted to buy someone a drink, finally this girl bashfully gave in, and he said that doing something nice did actually make him feel a bit better. Didn't stop the insecurity but it made this girls night fairly memorable and helped him feel a little less sad.
I like this idea more than I can even express - if we all did something nice for someone else whenever we were sad I'm pretty sure it would come back around (kind of like Pay it Forward). I just wish more people would apply it to their own lives.
[Edit: I use "so" a fuck load... must work on diction and flow.]
