Atrophy of The Mind
BAH! I'm ready to go home.
That is, I'm ready for a visit home. I won't have to wait very long. I'll probably leave next Wednesday after my shift...should I be working a shift that day. That means I leave Columbus at 11:00 and arrive home at maybe...2-2:30 in the morning. That'll be nice.
While we're on the subject of numbers, how about we think of some more?
23 months...since feminine attention
8 months...since feminine "contact"
5 weeks...since I've seen my parents or any of my friends
I've been sustaining myself on entertaining class discussions, movies, books, and music. But none are a good substitute for human contact.
So I guess it's a good thing I'm not 21, otherwise I might be an alcoholic by now. I do like my job though, so maybe I'll just become a workaholic instead. I'm very close to being "released", that is being left alone in the control room to run it by myself. I've done it before, but I was always able to call someone for help. But next month I'll be starting to do shifts all by my lonesome. Lucky me, I always have time to do my homework should I wish to do so.
And of course...there's a girl that's driving me nuts. I haven't really been this attracted to a girl in a while. Thank god I'm not acting like a total dumbass around her...yet. I've managed to play the whole cocky-funny routine up a bit. Made her laugh, that's a good start I reckon. But I only see her twice a week in my Syntax class. Not a lot of opportunity to chat her up. She's not even a Ling major but she's taking Syntax. Dammit, why do smart girls have to be so SEXY? It's infuriating. I best do something before the end of the quarter, or else I'll never see her again. That's happened far too many times for me to count.
But I'm definitely ready to go home again. Just four more days left this week...dammit I just remembered I have my Geography midterm on Wednesday. Okay, okay...four days left this week plus a big midterm, then the Michigan game on Saturday (Lord, I hope we win or I'm going to have a busy night...), then just a few more days and I'll be home. Yeah. Good stuff.
