It's Tuesday night and it just started raining. I had one class today, Writing and Society, I must say it wasn't that bad today. we discussed "Drawing Blood" a very good book might I add. I didn't have time to finish the entire thing, but Nick filled me in and that was cool. Turned in my Producing Culture paper today, we shall see how that goes. I'm still not quite sure if I did the thing right, or presented my information the way he wanted, but it's a paper, really what more is there to do with it. I hope it all is fine. I work tomorrow from 6-2 and then Thursday 6-2 also, I'm telling you, the pay just isn't doing for me. I know I keep saying that and I always talk about my damn job, but it is annoying. I applied at another coffeeshop on Sunday and I hop I hear from them. I know that I only have about 2 more months here, but I need to make some more money. After I subtracted rent for the week from my pay, I am left with $25 bucks I mean I have money but from my pay, yeah and I am trying not to tap into my bank account so much so I can buy gifts for people and TRY and go somewhere else in this country while I am here....but the way it is looking, I don't know.
I got e-mails from Amber, Cole and Katie today, that was cool. I talked to dad tonight and this afternoon, talked to matthew for about one minuet and then attempted to call Cole but I had to leave a message. It kinda sucks when you call and can't talk or the person isn't around, I was just in the mood to talk. Dad said that he is going to try and call me before I have to go to work in the morning.
So we listened to Charlie Parker (the jazz musician) in Writing and Society today, that was real cool. I always get this cool feeling when I listen to jazz music, it is hard to describe but I really love it. I mentioned it to Nick in class, he just looked at me like I was crazy (as usual), but I guess I wasn't very clear with what I was trying to say, what's new. I sometimes wish I could just open up my brain and show people what I am trying to say, I always have a hard time explaining myself or people just don't understand it, or want to understand it....whatever...lol. But yeah, the jazz music, it makes me want to be in New York or something, in a dark jazz club, just sitting there and listening. That is so weird to me because I have never even been to New York....really who knows. I just get this calm feeling when i hear it, maybe I should listen to it more, calm my self down for a bit. I get the same kind of thing from Steely Dan, but that is deeper and I think of California, another place I have never been to, yet...but Steely Dan I have family ties to it and I love it. Wow sometimes I don't know where this stuff comes from.
Anyways, Mothers Day is coming up and I have to find my mom a cool card to send. I wish that I could be home for it, but what can you do. I will be out here for Father's Day too and my brither's birthday! :( Cards, phone calls and e-mail, that is what I have to work with for the next couple months. I am really missing home again and people, I feel like I shouldn't be saying that, you know, being here and all, but I really can't help it. I will say that this is an unforgettable,challenging, exciting and scary experience all at the same time and I wouldn't ever change my decision to come here and do it. There has been talk from Gran that my brother may be coming here to visit, but no words from him, the person that would know the best. It would be so nice if he could get out here, I know in my gut that it won't happen, but one can hope.
Well, that is about enough of all of that stuff, I am going to try and get to bed, I have to work in the morning. Love you all and miss you like crazy!
