School does suck up a lot of time. I never have time to do the things I want, and when I do have the time, I don't have the on the spot inspiration. Lately this quarter I've been trying to focus more on doing things I want to do and just doing enough schoolwork to get by. I find myself playing guitar more and I just feel better and I think I'm slowly getting back into the swing of creativity I distantly remember.

And yeah, I think for me atleast school is worth it. I'm learning a lot still. I'd be miserable if I wasn't in school. So I guess it's kind of a lose-lose situation. All you can do is try to make the best of it.

As far as traveling the country goes... this country totally blows. You should visit the world. It's incredible how leaving this continent can expend your horizons--that the world isn't all this way. Doesn't all think this way, doesn't all act this way, doesn't all look this way.
