Classes start tomorrow for me, aghh. Everyone at Rice goes back at the end of August, I'm a little jealous. But my course list is pretty sicknasty.
I'm taking graphic design, paper engineering, digital illustration, lifedrawing, and spanish. The downside to all this is I have class at 7am every. single. day. Laaaame. But that's what I get for being overzealous. I've been staying at Alejandro's house for the past few days because the lady I'm renting a room from had her daughter over. But I'm moving there today, which is exciting.
Apart from all that, things are going well. I have a nature-shaped hole in my heart and I've found myself perusing wikipedia articles on celtic paganism, neopaganism, et cetera - I'd rather be a nature oriented pagan than a wasteful christian, but then again it's all in your personal attitude, isn't it. God never told anyone to ruin the planet. I think I'm mostly reading about those things because I really miss being out there - on the ocean, in the forest and the mountains. In that sense, I guess native american animism appeals to me too. It made sense to thank the spirits of water and sky for the gift of a new day with them on the ocean, and thank them again come eventide. I feel a little silly explaining it to most people though... It might seem a little anachronistic to them. But I really connected with it.
Anyway, enough about me and nature for now. Yesterday I went with Alejandro's mom to a department store and I watched her drop $250 on hangers and dust covers for suits.
