"It's much better by far to be young at heart"
Random thought: How awesome would a Frank Sinatra ringtone be?
Sometimes you've just got to stand back and be grateful that things you used to worry about the day before have been resolved. Seriously. Here I was freaking out about finding a job for next semester. Yesterday I was just talking to a friend...who's rather girly and huggy, but nice enough. She said we could have a job hunt sleepover over winter break at her apartment because that's when the campus job center opens for next semester. That'll be a stress resolver, if anything.
Yet another thing that found resolution was my need to excersize. Guess who found a running partner? :D I met this chick, Valerie, who runs about two mile circuits. Shame she likes running early in the morning, though. I'm going to wake up at 7 am on Tuesday to go run with her before class. Ick.
Sunday's our Christmas choir concert! I'm psyched. My parents invited several family friends and some of my friends are going to drive down from home. :D It'll be amazing to see them, let alone sing our outstanding choral performace.
FINALS AAAAHhhhhh...*deep breath* You know, the only one I'm really worried about is my piano jury. And of course we have a ton of scheduled assignments and a paper for humanities class. Ugh.
This next week is going to be JAM PACKED. Blink and I may just miss it.
I've been thinking a lot about the pros and cons of introversion and loneliness. Sure, you can keep your emotions safer if you're only relying on yourself, but even an empty conversation can be the light of your day sometimes. Or be the basis for your negativity, if it's really something stupid. I don't know what it is or why exactly, but people need each other. It's just hard wired into us. In class, we're studying Roman philosophies, like Epicurianism and Stoicism. They're pure mind power. That's the thing about ancient philosophies...they take so much of the heart out of things and substitute it with the brain and mind power. In a way, I think modern academia may be heading in that direction. I know I've been stuck in some sort of skewed stoicism, save for my writing and music...for years and years.
Over Christmas break, I'm going to make a vlog describing all the things I've learned this semester, part of course work and not part of course work. I want to make it a tradition and then see how I grow throughout college.

Ps- Plus, I'm getting sick of spending all this time sitting here. You know, I think I'm going to get up...Frank Sinatra crooning in my speakers or not.
