i'm pretty pleased with how classes are going so far. don't get me wrong, they are extremely hard and i'm still having a rough time getting by, but so far i've done great on all my tests. for the most part, they aren't fabulously interesting, but i'm still getting by without too much trouble as far as studying and everything goes. so that's a plus.
i'm still working like a crazy motherfucker. nothing has changed in that respect. 6 days a week and 18 credit hours is really hard. yeah.
over the summer, i'm looking to take a trip out east. i've got a few destinations in mind - mainly to look at grad schools for my mfa, but also simply to check out the sights and have a good time. i haven't really taken a vacation in a really long time, so i'm really looking forward to this. as of right now, i'm looking at visiting the typical eastern cities: philly, boston, new york, along with some smaller ones like charleston, syracuse, and asbury park nj. there's a lot of stuff i wanna see out there. do you have suggestions for destinations? or schools i should look at?
i'm excited for my friends for valentine's day. i don't have a "valentine", so to speak. actually, i've never had one at valentine's day. oh well. but i'm terribly happy that my friends are going to have a great v-day, so to speak. honestly, there are very few things as rewarding as seeing your friends happy. v-day gets a bad reputation, simply because of the people that don't have a valentine. that's bullshit. well, mostly bullshit. but yeah, i'm gonna work all day and make a shitload of money off of the love birds, so that's pretty cool. then i'll go home and get drunk like i always do.
speaking of getting drunk, i was drunk at work yesterday while i was training this girl. i'm pretty sure that she could tell something was amok. that's ok though, i'm sure she knows what goes on. anyway, it turns out that she knew a relative of mine who died a few years back. weird. slightly awkward, but weird nonetheless. oh well.
i entered the undergrad poetry contest again. i'm not sure if i'll win again but it'll be interesting to find out, there are a lot of phenomenal writers here. it would be nice to get the cash prize that comes along with winning, though.
there are a lot of really cool things coming up that i'm excited for. they should be great, especially the 21st birthdays of a few of my really good friends. plus etid 3/24 at the motherfucking shelter. best venue ever. i'm gonna fuck shit up like no other.
i'm really disappointed in myself because i've let my family down - i rarely go home to see them because i have to make rent every month and i'm extremely busy most of the time. when i do go home, it's only for a few hours. i really wish i could see them more because they are all just really amazing, strong people who deserve more from me than what i've given them recently. part of me needs to pay rent, part of me has a hard time letting them see me like this.
i stopped posting in my livejournal because i hate it with an undying passion. i explained to my friends that i simply hate the "culture" (if you wanna call it that, i suppose) that its spawned and the stigmas that are attached with it. it's just a really lame, pathetic thing that i enjoyed at first but hated more and more over the past year or so. i still enjoy commenting on my real friends' entries, but other than that, i'm done with it.
whoa, this is really long. i suppose i should end it now. take care, kids, have a fabulous weekend.
