I should be working, but QUICK update. Seven months ago, on the corresponding monday night, I sat all night in a computer lab in the school library at Stevens Point, writing a term paper. I was tired, stressed, nervous, distracted. And I listened to "The End of the Line" by Hot Water Music for the majority of the night. And I was happy.
It is said that men thrive in danger. I'm not sure if that is true, because skinny pacifist white boys tend to avoid danger like the plague. Or at least I do. But I think everyone throws their soul into certain parts of their life. And that is when there is danger.
So here I sit. Now I'm in a large office known as "the pit" for it's hodgepodge family of Teaching Assistant's from across 4 different departments. Instead of headphones, I'm listening to music via speakers. But it's that same song. I haven't had proper sleep since Friday night. As soon as this done, I must turn back to my paper with break-neck speed. I won't sleep until 5pm at the earliest (it's 2:41 am). And yet I don't think I've been this happy since that time 7 months ago.
I'm not sure what the point of this is. It might just be a result of sleep deprivation, to be totally honest. I guess it's funny how things change... yet it's always in circles. It always comes back to a mirror of how they were.
I guess I'm just happy right now.
But I only have 9 hours left, so... back to work!
