I have been in school for just under a month and already I have lost my second highlighter to my book on the Cold War for my International Relations class. There is so much to remember that I have used an entire green and an entire orange highlighter to mark important passages. I never realized how quickly I would go through my school supplies.
I'm getting very tired of reading. I'm 40 pages from the end of this Cold War text. It's the home stretch where the end of the marathon is visible, but you're so exhausted from the rest of it that you can't quite seem to get there. I've resorted to reading aloud in a vain attempt to keep from zoning out. Another helpful tactic is to picture all of the interesting scenes as a movie in my head. I mean, I guess I do that anyway, but if I really pay attention to detail and make it as vivid as possible it is slightly easier to pay attention.

I've been listening to a lot of music to which I often forget to dedicate time and I was wondering... why do guys love bitches?
"You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot. "
-OK GO
"I wish you'd stop ignoring me, because it's sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me, and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) "
-Arctic Monkeys
"You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me"
-Muse
"First you
Fade into the background
Wouldnt even call me
Had the nerve to leave me
Go ahead and love me "
-Voxtrot
"The only thing that you keep changin'
is your name, my love keeps growin'
still the same, just like a cancer,
and you won't give me a straight answer!"
-Arcade Fire
LOL. Well, you get the idea. I guess I just happened to listen to a lot of these songs today and noticed that they were all pretty similar in subject.
Well, I have to promises to keep and pages to read before I sleep.
Goodnight!
