(no subject)
sometimes, in my house i feel stagnant. there's no real "meg space" anymore. i use to be home alone at lot and i didn't like it. now, it's a strange gift. i don't like it anymore than being with my family - but it can be nice to have quiet and listen to my music as loudly or as softly as i'd like and waste time on the computer and be impressively productive. in my mind, the concept of college revolves around a lot of time at the library. a completely accessible library. sometimes i'm so jealous people have cars and licenses while if i had one, i'd be at the library - doing some work. theoretically, i suppose.
today was good, nonetheless.
