My Life Updated
So, graduating from college was much cooler than I thought it would be. This is the first summer/year I've ever had where I wasn't thinking about school. And while I thought graduating would be really depressing and that I would miss classes, I realize this is the first time I've had in quite some time to do whatever the hell I really want to. This is what complete free will has brought me....
1. I run more. I can run over two miles in less than 20 minutes which is a really big step for me. I haven't tried running more than two miles yet. Haven't seen the point. Though I think maybe I could... Oh think of the possibilities.
2. I can read whatever I want. Right now i'm on The Master and Margarita (thank you for the suggestion Joey) and it's amazing. It's even more amazing just because of the fact of being able to read without having some paper deadline in the back of my mind. Oh the freedom. Next up is Stranger in a Strange Land. Then maybe Finnegan's Wake? Probably not....we'll see.
3. I'm learning to play guitar. Right now i'm just working on the callouses...which is a painful process. I practice until my fingers are aching and then I keep practicing once the pain goes away. I can't master a Bm yet. It's such a bitch. This is my goal at the moment. Small steps.
4. I'm building up my vocabulary. In anticipation for the GRE I have started making flash cards of ten vocabulary words a week. Sadly, college hasn't increased my vocabulary at all. I still only know big words that I studied for during the SATs. Thank you English major.
5. I'm working at Alamo Drafthouse. It's the perfect job for me. Lots of moving and physicalness. Yet I don't really have to interact with people (which is a huge plus) and I get free movies and free salads and cheap beers when I finish a shift (really, what more could I need in life?) Also, the people who work there are so friendly. Though they do smoke a lot. It sucks, not smoking means I don't need smoking breaks, which means I have to work a whole lot more. Which means I'll also live longer..and thus...have to work a lot more....interesting cycle.
6. Both of my roommates are now 21! I love Rory!! So...we can all hang out more now.
This list could go on. I could mention my gradual awesome tan, and my stomach muscles...I love crunches. Are my ambitions okay at the moment? I mean, should I be satisfied with working at $8 an hour and reading 1 book every two weeks and laying out at pools and drinking cheap beer after I have achieved two degrees? Because I really am. Maybe I will start writing. Maybe I would be okay at that. I don't think so. But who knows. I've surely got to be good at something.
also, I can now carry a tray of food with a hand above my shoulder. I didn't think I had the strength for this. It only took nine hours of practice. Damn midnight showings and not getting off work until 1:30AM. Damn missing downtown with my roommate. Damn me being so sucky at DDR! Damn global warming and damn people for not doing a shit to stop it.... including me. our air is still running and i'm driving a car everywhere I go. and my light bulbs are not environmental friendly.
I probably shouldn't post so late at night when i'm really tired. Sorry.
