I saw an amazing movie last night. Lars and the Real Girl. It was the story of a recluse who tells his brother he has a girlfried, who turns out to be a life sized, anatomically correct doll. Ryan Gosling was amazing...and there weren't any cheap jokes...i loved it.
i am slowly cutting into my pile of books i have to read. i am trying to read one chapter of the audacity of hope a night, along with one ken kesey short story (from demon box). i took a break from the interpretation of dreams, as i have been lacking the focus to get into it. i am saving it from thanksgiving break, so i can have more peace with it. after those i think i will be attmempting to read a chapter from "what really matters: searching for truth in america" a night, along with some kafka short stories. last on my list is the german ideology, which has been staring at me from my bookshelf for a very long time. i started reading it over the summer, but i just wasn't ready. i want to get these all done before break, but that will be impossible, i know that. it's closing in. so i will spend today reading...(and grading papers).
winter will be full of andrew-time. after four months apart, we will be spending much time with each other's families. it will be weird getting to know each other again but i am more than excited. while it really sucks not having him here, it is something that is good for us. after dating someone for most of high school and then getting into a new relationship right away, i haven't had time alone. not that i regret getting with andrew when we did, it was a very natural event, but it is nice to have me time. i have made new friends, and not all of them books. some of them i will even be living with over the summer (i'm not coming home).
it's weird to think that i'm not coming home. in some ways, it's very sad. i had a great summer last year. i loved my job and the people i worked with... but it will be nice to be on my own, (hopefully) saving up some money and taking care of myself. i eat so much healthier when i'm in charge on my diet. the down side to that is that i have a ridiculously fast metabolism, so when i'm not eating all of the crap food that i would eat at the dining hall, i start to lose weight...which i don't really want to do. eh, whatever. at least i'm healthy.
i want to go to the food store to buy artichokes.
next week: pre thanksgiving thanksgiving dinner, then home again.
i have so many projects/papers i need to work on, but i can't yet. that's ok. i get engrossed in projects, so i won't have a hard time doing those.
i love life.
