so far, this week has been one for thinking. whether it be over the past, present, or future, my mind cannot seem to find enough minutes in the day to consider, ponder, or just let thoughts marinade. and though my eyes are struggling with all they have left in them to remain open at times, it has been a dutiful process that has brought forth some issues with a blinding light that rivals that of one experiences when leaving a movie theater. unfortunately, or perhaps, as with all things, while some issues were illuminated, others sank slowly into the shadows and recesses of my mind.
with all of this thinking, i would be lying if i claimed my headaches and exhaustion were simply from school and work. (though they definitely have their part in all of this)
so while i sit here wondering where the rest of the week will take me in thought, and as booger attempts to get into anything and everything that is forbidden territory within the confines of my room, there is an overwhelming calm that has wrapped around me, like a warm blanket, fresh from the dryer, on a cold wintery day.
with that said:
my creative writing class is going fantastically! ha! no, but seriously, i am loving it. while i enjoy writing, and always have, in recent years i've felt as though i haven't had much to say, or if i did, it was the same thing over and over again. a perpetual cycle of incessant bitching with a brief and reluctant revelation thrown in from time to time. the proverbial hamster wheel, if you will. me, being the hamster, running in that damn wheel, with moments of pause to consider that i'm getting nowhere, only to begin running again. however, this class has given me new reason to write, and thus far my professor seems to think i possess some sort of talent, so there ya go!
other than that, it has been a fairly slow week. tuesday i worked a twelve hour day, which for some may not seem long, but for me was. and while i did it for good reason (ie - to help out a friend), and i did get paid for all of my kind-hearted efforts, i have to say that not even the dutch apple pie from burger king could lift my spirits at the end of the night. but man, was that a good pie. mmm...
today was better, though i sat through my geology lecture and, yet again, could not tell you what the hell was going on. it's not that i cannot grasp the information, no, far from it; it's that i, sadly, just don't care about rocks. i'm hoping to just make it through this first few weeks, so as to be able to get on to the more interesting parts of the course, like weather systems and the oceans. we shall see.
okay, well i think i have to be off the computer now. i've been sitting here reading for my english course for an hour or so, just to be able to take a quiz before mid-night, and now my eyes are feeling a bit wobbly. (weebles wobble but they don't fall down!)
alrighty, night all!
