Well... well...well... so, I am not feeling so down about the semester anymore, but I'm still not enjoying it.. next Tuesday, in American Arch, I'llfind out what I need to get on the final to pass. I think my paper was overall okay and if I do REALLY well on it, I'll post it on this website somewhere. I think I am allowed to toot my own horn every once in awhile, am I right? Am I right?
I got a "B" on my latin test so I was pretty pleased about that. But those silly Romans are severely screwedup and I can not WAIT to not have to read about "pueri improbi" and "lupi cum dentorum magnorum". Word. :-D
So, I have been reflective lately.. Sometimes I wonder if all of us are trying to grow up too fast? It seems so many people go to college, just to get a job after graduation, you know? And it's scary, to me, that we are grooming ourselves for lives based solely on having the career of our dreams. Or maybe not even the career of our dreams, just whatever we believe will pay us well. Don't we have other ambitions or do we have to derive all our happiness from money? Maybe I should ask my brother about this as he'll be making so much more money than I will, someday hehhe... ::shrug:: I think it is something I got to ruminating about because I would've been graduating this May. Although I am not anymore, many of my friends will be, so I started thinking about it.... About 1/4th of my life has (probably) gone by and what do I think I will have to say about it someday? Also, I sometimes feel the more I learn, the less things suprise me. For example, when you are a kid everything is SO exciting! Now I seem to fail to feel that kind of amazement about anything, except when something awful happens, and then the amazement is just shock, anyway.
I'm honestly not depressed or anything, just reflective, as I mentioned before.. although I have been sleeping a lot lately..but I think that's more boredom than anything. And the season, Oido el invierno!(i hope that is i hate winter!)
Anyway, this past weekend me and Andrea went to see this jazz guy perform at the 930 Club in D.C.. It was a pretty good show, different from concerts I am used to (rock shows), but overall a good time. I wanted to have a few drinks but they were pretty expensive (5 for a rail drink, 8 bucks for a long island iced tea, damnit!) so I opted not to drink. Oh, the guy's name was Taj Mahal for those who were wondering (and he really didn't look too much like P Diddy in person, unlike some of the album cover pictures on his website heheh). There was supposed to be a really cool meteor show this morning at around 5 a.m. but at around 3 it started to get REALLY foggy out, which blows, because I was looking forward to seeing that. I guess in 98 years when the next really cool meteor show hits, I'll be ready heheh..
I should get going and catch up on my art history readings and stuff... I think I might be coming down with a cold which could be cool if it hits on thanksgivng..that way, I can stay home and sleep all day! YAY :-)
