(no subject)
Been feeling bouncy today. I've been having a little bit of an off week, in that my head has pretty consistently felt a leetle bit fuzzy, and I find myself every now and again having really blank moments where I totally forget what I'm supposed to be doing. It's hard to describe.. like a shadow over my shoulder that every now and again comes and clouds my brain. It makes it hard to concentrate - I almost forgot I had class today, so I ran out of the campus center at 12:30 to make my 12:35 class, nearly bowling over a few students as well as my good buddy Elly. Oops.
I am so far behind in the reading that I need and want to do! I need to probably continue doing a lot of research for my thesis stuff, which means a bunch of books that I haven't contemplated touching yet. This is not to say that I don't have sources, just that I need more. Besides that, I have the crapton of books that I ordered from Amazon. My current reading list looks something like:
- Empires of the Word
- Diplomacy (by Henry Kissinger, no less!)
- The Language Instinct
- 1421
- When China Ruled the Seas
- The Iron Council
- The Power of Babel
- Kirinyaga
- The Tipping Point
- The World is Flat
I think my main problem in life is that I decide that I want to do too many things, then never really follow up on it. I get the important things done, but otherwise things sort of fall by the wayside.
Oooh! And I found out today why my car has yet to fall apart on me! You know how some people have lucky charms for their cars? My friend has a pufferfish, my other friend has these dice.. etc etc. Well, today I found a charm that came with the car from the previous owner~ A mix tape of Christian rap.
Yup.
I'm talking serious "gospelzillio is the real dillio" stuff here (actual song quote). Some of it's not too bad! I put it on my iPod. But the basic point is that my car is BLESSED by GOD HIM/HERSELF. Thank you, o previous owner! Now I know far more about you than I ever cared.
My goals for this weekend:
1) Start running again
2) Actually get revised thesis plan done. No, for serious this time.
3) See Watchmen (?)
4) Rein in spending.
Last item: I got some totally new cool shoes today, sort of converse-y but not actually converse. Others were shocked (shocked!) that I should go shoe-shopping. It happens sometimes, guys!
