It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess...
So far my day has been pretty horrifying. I woke up in a vaguely bad mood, and I kept getting woken up by thunder the night before. Which of course means rain. It never rains in Fall here, or at least it never used to. It's still pouring, from early this morning. I had to take my paper to school, one good thing being that it was still in the plastic from Art Placement so it didn't really get all that wet, though the cardboard portfolio I took with me (deliberately I took an old one) died as I was coming onto the bus and dumped all over a cute guy. He wasn't complaining and neither was I. When I got off the bus at campus a guy who I would have expected to close the door in my face held the bus door open for me. So much for appearances. I breathed a prayer of thanks to God as well as to him.
Then I had to drag my stuff upstairs and dump my stuff in my Art locker, then hightail it over to Engineering for my sculpture class. I got to sculpture on time, so no problem there. On my way back to Arts I met both the Mikes I know - Engineering Mike and Physics/Comp Sci Mike. It's neat to take the tunnels around the entire Campus, it's a new thing I'm adjusting to this year. Last year was STM, this year is everything else. I'm expanding my horizons daily.
Here's a picture I took today from the Ag tunnel... I just thought it was artistic and pop culture related and stuff. Angles are interesting... Contrast. Yeah. I liked it, so there. This is the sort of art you find in everyday life that you might be the only one who notices it - and that's what makes it art... But if you think it's lame, whatever.
My class was pretty interesting and I have a definite idea for the project. If it works or not, now that'll be the question. I'll try and get a picture of it for you.
I've adjusted so much to being on Campus again I can't even remember Summer anymore. I find myself remembering snippets of Summer and wondering when that was. It feels like I've always been here, and it's an odd feeling.
My MP3 player's random function gets a thumbs up today. Maybe it's just that everything seems to work for me today, from Les Mis to P.O.D. to BNL to general Chick Pop. It's all good. I dunno, it's a certain mood you have to be in and I'm in it. Not quite pensive, not quite normal. But like I said earlier, I was relishing knowing myself well because I knew it wouldn't happen again for some time. I can feel it starting, the identity stripping of University. Will I fight to know myself this year? Probably, but at some point I'll just have to give it up. To where or to whom? I don't yet know.
