Those Hefty garbage bags, are strong.
Throw off.
Today was not so great. I woke up on time, took a shower, my dad went to get surgery, I got out of the shower, and Maddie said Robert hadn't called her, then that robert had just gotten blood work and didn't feel like going to see Coney. So, my only plans for the day got cancelled. Then Lifeteen asked me to come and decorate the church at 6:30 and I completely. Forgot. Got a text message at 10:30 saying "you liar." Felt like shit. My lifeteeners already think I'm a sellout. My selective memory doesn't help.
But I missed USM a lot today. Today was the first day I really didn't have anything to do, so I think that helped. I really have to count my blessings. The way the end of this semester turned out was amazing. Maybe not as it seems to some, but I really hit the jackpot. The people I hang out with, the things we do, even if they change, are a great fit. The best fit, as I think it should be. It took a semester of a few hits and a few misses to find that one place where you really fit in. Suite 201, I'll call it. And all those people that you meet. It was in that last month of school that I really felt like the days were what I hoped they would be like when I got to college: drama free, drunken lullabies, laughter, and brotherhood. That's what I'm talking about.
One awesome refutation: I picked up some really bad sleeping patterns that will have to change somehow. Staying up til 2:30+ in the morning and still waking up early for class? Yea, gonna have to do something about that. I think I'll start to take more naps. During the day. When everyone else is in class. That way, I won't miss anything fun, and I'll get some more sleep. And then there's that part where I might have actual work. But I can do all my homework on the weekends, when no one is in town.
That was USM's awesome surprise, one my sister never told me or if she did I never heard about it: USM is a suitcase campus. Everyone leaves. Well, not everyone, but, a lot of people do. A lot. And the only draw for people this past semester was football games. And are there any football games this semester? No... there aren't. So... are there any people this semester? Maybe... there aren't.
I always remember a Dexter's Lab episode where Dexter get's into college.
(Episode Title: Copping an Attitude
First aired: 11/30/2001 Production Code: 55C
Because of his exceptional grades Dexter's school and parents have decided that he can go to college. At first Dexter is happy to be there so he can fill his mind with college knowledge, but in the end the students influence on Dexter allows him to do college pranks sending him a one way ticket back to Huber Elementary School
Not on YouTube, sorry)
Dexter goes to college and the first semester all he says is "study study study" and all the college students say is "party party party." At the end of the semester he gets tired of studying or something and he goes to all the college students and he's all like "party party party!" and they all say "study study study." And so he encloses the quad and makes it into a giant swimming pool.
I wonder if college is really like that.
Hmm.
We certainly didn't study like that at the end of the semester. We went all cat-hunting, gay-watching, and partying. Hmm. We should work on that. I want to keep my 4.0.
4.0. Yay. I didn't have that many hard classes, so, I can't really celebrate or anything. I know I should, but... I feel bad about getting out easy.
I won't even mention all the people leaving USM next semester, that's for another time when I'm sad.
I watched Dane Cook for the first time tonight. On YouTube. I was really missing out.
I've been downloading a lot of albums lately, working myself up for some WUSM magic, and I just download a lot of them, but I can't get into any of them until I start getting out of this Man Man. I guess this stuff reminds me of Wes and all that gang because as soon as I started playing it just now I started thinking about them.
Christmas is coming, then the new year, then MORE USM.
Oh just wait for my "2006" post. It's going to be a crazy one. I have been around the world this year, and that's no stretch of the phrase. I'm thinking about making a novel and not just an LJ post maybe three people will read, oh wait, only three people can read it. I should make this one public. It's not that private.
Man, now I want to write that 2006 one. I got myself all fired up. I have to wait, though. 2006 isn't over yet.
Some other day, Stu.
Some day soon.
