(no subject)
i don't know why i feel like writing a current life situation summary entry in here, but i do.
it's sunday and i woke up before noon and i didn't have to go to work or school for anything, and it's beautiful outside and i am sitting in here writing a journal entry, but that's alright because it's going to continue to be this nice for another 8 hours or so, so i can spare 15 minutes to do this.
i am so relieved that i made it to the end of the quarter. this was a tough quarter for me because it was my fifth quarter in a row (spring, summer, fall, winter, spring) and most of my breaks, and the only long break between summer and fall, was spent remodeling this house, which is an amazing place to live, and as of late, has been party central. i was feeling burned out on school, and really struggled to get motivated to do any schoolwork and as a result, i have spent much more time socializing, working, and riding around than studying. luckily, i put the time in in my major class when i needed to and should be getting an A, and spanish... well, let's just say i made it. i'm thinking probably C considering i've turned in about half the homework and have gotten mid-B's on the tests. i am totally fine with that considering the amount of effort that i put in, and the fact that now i will never have to go to class monday-friday again. in the fall i will be going on mondays and wednesdays only, and i will be fresh from a summer that is looking very promising with regard to the following: amount of money to be earned, amount of beer/wine/whiskey to be consumed, number of potential road trips (beds have been offered in nashville, chicago, and austin to my friends and i), level of knowledge with regard to cooking, bike repair/tricks, and carnality(joke), number of miles to be ridden on my bicycle, number of potential friends to meet, and as of late, number of sunrises witnessed after a minimum 18 hours of wakefulness, which has been two in the past 3 days, and will likely increase rapidly as the summer progresses.
i am very excited.
i think, also, that after the one month hiatus, we will be throwing some sort of absurd patriotism party, at which guests will dress in clothing displaying american flags, bald eagles, and budweiser/marlboro paraphernalia, and will be served apple pie and hot dogs. we will sing the national anthem and other patriotic songs, and probably make a lot of noise, get rowdy, and someone will call the police. a working title has not been determined as of yet. i will be wearing some american flag shorts with a t-shirt that says god bless america, unless i can find an american flag speedo and some red, white, and blue ribbons to tie around my arms. actually if i find those things, i will likely wear the first costume and then at just the right moment, i'll reveal my other, more absurd outfit.
it seems i do things like that a lot these days. the other night, k.c. was telling me how he thinks david and i make a good party tag team because david is into, well, not necessarily philosophical conversation, but definitely conversation on a deep level that could concern politics, scientific discoveries, or literary works, and while i might take part in such a conversation for 10-15 minutes, i tend to try and get everyone rowdy. i thought that was a little strange, i don't think i've ever been viewed as the person responsible for the mayhem, but i guess i am a different person than i used to be in a lot of ways, and it shouldn't be surprising to notice changes in my personality. also, it is totally super fun to get people into a booze-fueled frenzy.
i'll close with this.
saturday at 5:30am, the last of the partygoers and i were smoking cigarettes on the porch and we saw my neighbor, who had come to the party 7 1/2 hours earlier, as she was on her way to work. she was shocked that we were still awake, there was an amusing exchange, and she went to work. cameron sharp said something that didn't make a lot of sense, and i started a chant that i have done many times before and will continue to do every time i feel like i am doing something that a. i am probably too old to be doing, at least by societies standards, and b. that i am expected to do as a full-time student.
the chant is this: "COL-LEGE! COL-LEGE! COL-LEGE! COL-LEGE!"
i think that sums it up.
