This is the latest I have been awake in probably a month or more ( Read more... )

100% sober but dreaming and stumbling nonetheless. I sit and fret about my mind and my body. I am a hypochondriac and a worry-wort and an idiot and a lover and a hater and a loner. I feel both needy and independent. I can lead but I would rather follow. I will always have heroes and role models. I have never felt comfortable with people my own age ( Read more... )

I guess it is fitting that the summer end the way it began - with my body revolting against me. In the week before I came back North I felt horrible and ended up going to the hospital for what ended up being heart burn. Now, it is the end of the summer, and I have different g.i. symptoms, but hopefully they will clear up prior to the 11th, when I ( Read more... )

I was listening to the radio the other day, and heard a song I have not heard in probably seven years or so.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure I've written about this before. And, if I have, I must have done it a) while on winter break or b) during summer vacaction. Regardless, the need to vent has overtaken me once again and as such I sit here, steaming ( Read more... )

It's summer.

I know this because of a few, unarguable facts:

1) Classes are done. Hurray. Junior year - but more specifically, second semester junior year as a MechE - is all wrapped up and in the bag. I am so happy it is over. Yes, I know, everyone has a lot of work to do, and as such I am not looking for sympathy. (Rarely do I actually want ( Read more... )
