So I've kind of felt this awakening where I've felt like I need to do a lot more than nothing while I have free time. I'm kinda starting small, I've been watching a lot of movies I had been meaning to see, and reading alot. I read another one of Douglas Adam's books; not as good as Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but still funny. I also read the Hobbit, which I actually didn't know was originally intended as a childrens story, but it was still a great book. I'm thinking about reading Lord of the Rings, but I'm not sure about that since I have seen the movies, and I can't help but feel that it's probably spoiled most of what the book has to offer, but of course, I'm sure not everything in the book is in the movies. Anyway, as for everything else, my sister came to visit last weekend which was cool. She told me about working at the hospital at UVA, and currently her rotation takes her to the children's oncology ward. It sounds horribly sad to say the least, and I don't think I could really be very happy seeing innocent kids everyday who I know are going to die, even knowing that I'm saving some, but I guess luckily there are people like my sister who can be objective and detached enough to get the job done. Anyway the air conditioner in my house was broken the past few days, which made me realize how much I need the damn thing (not only how hot it gets with heat building up in the house, but because somehow, with the windows constantly open, the house somehow felt and smelled dirty). On a similar note, I'm thinking that if it ever cools down enough before summers over, I might hike up to the top of brush mountain and if I have someone come with me I MIGHT camp. Anyway, that's all for now.
