Aloha?
I have seen and talked to so many different people I know in the last week, some intentionally and some by chance. I'm doing a very good job of being social for once. I've seen Ashlee, Josh B, Swiggett, William, Lucy, Robert, Drew, Carrie, Daniel, Amie, Patrick Thomas, Dev, Kayla, Tabitha, Kate, Vibh, Jessi, April, Emma, Chelsea, Chuck, Wade, Mr. Bates, Scott, Patrick Gallaway, and Megan.

McGarvey also yelled at me as she passed me on Nicholasville on Monday. I decided that would be able to hang out with everyone I want to if I didn't have to work or go to class, which unforunately isn't an option.
My sister who lives in Fort Myers is safe, despite the destruction of Hurricane Charley. She might drive up to Ohio because it's so humid without the electricty to run air conditioning. I'm just thankful that she and my niece and nephew are safe, and I suppose my brother-in-law too, even though he picks on me for being a hippy. If he ever met some of the real hippies I hang out with he's realize that I'm relatively tame. I have a job, I don't live in a commune, I regularly bathe. My name is not Thunder or Tornado or Sunshine.
I sent an email to the University of Hawaii Philosophy Department today. They have a doctoral program that specializes specifically in Asian Philosophy. I drooled as I read the list of faculty publications. The only drawback is that it's in Hawaii, which will be an incredible place to live, is also an incredibly expensive place to live. Just because it's an island the cost of living is high just to import things. And how exactly does one move to Hawaii, it's got to be more of a pain in the ass to move to than any other state. And airfare would make it difficult for me to visit home more than maybe once or twice a year. Granted I'm sure people would want to come visit me, but I would miss my family a lot. But the again it's fucking tropical paradise. It's amazingly gorgeous, there is so much great hiking and outdoor activity, and it's got to have the most amazing sushi in the states. The combination of being right on the sea with the strong Japanese influence means it has to be amazing, probably ridiculously expensive too. I don't know if I could get admitted as well as be able to function so far from home on my own and to be able to afford it, but I would love, love, love to go study Asian Philosophy. I would ove to write papers and teach insolent freshman the joys of Taoism.
That still brings up the question of whether or not I will graduate at the end of this year or not. The more I think about it, the more I want to stay another year, take fun classes like Russian literature and writing classes and languages and all the philosophy classes I want to take! Maybe I'm just really ready for school to start again. It is making me giddy. I really should still be asleep.
