A little late night rambling
serenity comes at odd moments...
My life this semester has been pretty fast paced, I took too many hours and never dropped something. I won't go into it so as to avoid my normal pessimistic whinning. I'ts 4:53 and I haven't begun this 3-4 pg paper on Ultrasound that i need a draft of by 6 pm tonight , and I'm oddly comfortable. After this draft I'll only have programming tonight, revising the paper, revising another paper (but I have more time for that), then comes by breather before the shit storm of finals...4 science/math finals
but in all this work, I find comfort at the oddest times. Sometimes I'll be walking between classes and I'll have my little mp3 player ... suddenly a song I hadn't heard in a while will come on and I'll just be at peace...even if I'm only half way through my 10.5 hours of class that I have on Mondays...no, that's not an exageration.

Kinda puts me at ease to know that I'll have moments like that at some point...even if they're nowhere in the near future. The play finished this weekend and the cast party was fun as usual. I was leaving at a modest 4:45 am when I looked back on the roof and saw a couple of my fellow thespians getting naked on the roof and making out...in groups of more than three. That's the house I'm going to be living in next year...god help me.
I'm trying to find somewhere else to live, but I've been ditched by two sets of good friends now, and I'm starting to take it personally. I'm kinda upset, but oh well. I'll have a more active social life at the House of Guys (where I'm living next year) but my academia may suffer.
Overall, however, the play was fun. I pissed off the director enough that she'll never want to speak to me again, but I could care less. She was kinda incompetant and never listened to any of my friend's advice (and my friend is the tech-director and has a shitload more experience) ...too many chiefs, never enough indians....
but I'm kinda having a serene moment right now....maybe it's the caffeine wearing off and my mind slowly shutting down, but I'm at peace, somewhat.
Other times I'm running at mach 7 with my hair on fire...it's trippy.
I got some horrible news today. I friend's mom, who I knew, died and I really want to fly back for the funeral, but I can't. I feel horrible that I can't be there for him. Say a little prayer, please.
This summer is gonna be kinda funny. I'll come back east at some point to see my bro graduate and to get a car and stuff, but then I'm going to be right back in Austin for the second summer school session. I'm taking two classes (kinda a lot for a summer session) and though I'm not looking forward to it, I'm hoping I'll have some company (HINT HINT< WINK WINK).
well, I guess I'll go start that paper...serenity is leaving me slowly as the weight of my eyelids begins to increase.
