Today was so long. But good.
I can't decide how to talk about it.
I started out with bullets, but I'm tootired so I think I"ll just spout for about 2 minutes, ready, steady, SO
Today started with the really high pitched beep bepppppppppebepepep beep of nicole's beeping gadget. I'm still not sure if it's a cell phone or alarm clock because I've never heard a gadget of either these types ever making a sound like hers does. So as I tried to catch another hour of sleep, I entered into a really strange dream-state where I was semi-awake. This led to me dreaming about my tamagotchi "growing" into a furry 3D creature.

Then my own alarm woke u p p p p p and
Two classes and a few hours later I was sitting in the office of my comp lit professor from last spring, and he actually rememebered whooo i was.. That's a feeling. And feeding off this rush of being recognized (and also fueled with the intent I've carried all summer), I declared CompLit. It felt so o Good.

Given the four horrible school shootings in the last week, my education law prof suspended our syllabus and instead asked us to consider the legal infringements we would allow in order to completely eliminate the threat of such tragedies occuring again. My group and I decided that there are only two real ways to ERADICATE school violence without infringing too completely on people's rights. A) ONLINE SCHOOLING and B) SPANDEX UNIFORMS

For 4 hours I was sitting in the basement of the engineering building in front of a unix machine programming. There were a lot of other people there too (all in my class), and I think we're becoming a family.

I like the nook I made in my room.
I like my friends.
I like my lungs.

One last thing: For the first time today (at lunch with Sampath), I verbalized the increasing desire I've had to subvert the whole of Language, and I do this by not mediating my thoughts through grammar and semantics, but instead letting the words trip out how they want, and I could finally semi-rationalize why I've been mixing tenses and using words in the wrong way, and not bothering to correct myself, and actually getting enjoyment out of the fact that I'm following completely different rules but other people can still understand me.
