At 2:30 I have a test. I am woefully underprepared for this test; however, I feel confident in my ability to get a C or a B on the test, overall. Why? The teacher gave us an outline of the materials and I have attended most lectures. I'm truly only deficient at this point on the reading assignments. Anyways, as long as I do better on the African-American portions and Latino-American portions and the paper, I am positive I can squeak by with a B of some sort. Sound like a plan?
Life is good. A bit hectic. I find myself caught up in a flurry of ever-changing information. I've started using google reader again, I get the NYT delivered to my email, I like to read the local paper, I twitter, I facebook, etc, etc. There's an ever-going stream. How does one keep up with it? I don't think it is possible to give things thorough analysis.
I have long argued that one of the pitfalls of the modern world is that it has now become a rat race in the truest sense: racing around, to see who'll be first. Nevermind thoroughness, or correctness, just get the message out. I suppose that's what I'm doing right now. My fingers are moving in a flurry and my mind can barely keep up. Again, the wheels are certainly turning, but is the hamster alive?
A lot seems to be going on, always. I'm moving into the room next door, which is considerably larger. It will allow for me to have most of my books in my room, if not all of them. I have about 500 to 600 books. I'm not joking. I found a lot of old relics of the past, too. Things I missed, like 2007, the days of the economist, like 2003/2004, the days of the ISR, like 2005, the days of the workers vanguard. I'm currently addicted to NPR and to the NY Times. In fact, you can tell how frequently I read the NYT, because the more I read it, the more I post articles to my facebook account. Sometimes I tend to go completely overboard, however, like today. Today was insane.
Anyways, I'm moving into this larger room. I'm spending a lot of time with the trio. I have been so busy, I have hardly noticed the lack of casino in my life. My weight, thank god, is fairly stable. However, if I am to be vegetarian, the way I'm doing it, I'll probably lose a considerable amount of weight. Also, I'm exercising at my uncles 2 to 3 times a week. I do basic weight training with free weights and some stretching, too.
I made a lot of mistakes in college and in life. I feel I am rather manic right now. But that's okay, because when I'm manic I get some of my best thinking done, actually.
This isn't a psychotic episode, this is a cleansing moment of clarity! -Network.
There are some clear deficiencies in my life right now. I don't go for walks as much, I don't read as much, I don't watch as many movies, I don't masturbate as much. In fact, what am I doing with my time?
Babbling on incessantly on livejournal, apparently.
