Thoughts at 5AM

ok... so it's actually more like 5:21

but what the hell ever

^_^

In the spirit of tying up loose ends, I'd like to say that my paper was finished on time, in full, and is currently in the hands of my professor, awaiting judgement. I actually had a real good time writing the paper once I got myself to finally focus in on it. It was basically just visual analysis with a dash of history and a touch of need-to-know terms. It should get a pretty good grade, I think. Assuming that, one, the final read-though I did at 6:45 in the morning didn't miss something huge, and two, that I'm not just completely ignorant.

I will allow you all to withhold judgement on that second point until I get a grade back...



So I'll be going back home pretty soon. Just seven days and about 12 hours. I can't believe that this past week is already over. It's times like these, times when a whole week passes without me really noticing, that I start to worry that I'm gonna wake up one morning and realize that it's not just weeks that are passing me by, but years.

Dammit, I'm 19; I have no reason to feel the pull of my own mortality like this.

But it's not death I fear. Simply.... missed opportunities, wasted potentials. Both of which inevitably come with time.



So what does one do when awake at 5:30 in the morning???
If at home, I'd probably be playing Zelda right about now... but I didn't bring my system for summer session.
Could check out what's on tv... the floor common room is like 10 ft from my room and is, of course, currently empty.
...


Anyway.... TIME FOR A PUPLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Do You Like Ice Cream??
Are You Going To Be In The St. Louis Area On July 11th??

If your answers are yes, then you are whole-heartedly invited to stop by Ben and Jerry's on the Delmar loop. If you make any purchase on the 11th, between the hours of 7 and 10 pm, part of the profit will go to one of Washington University's student groups, the Alternative Lifestyle Association. This group is dedicated to supporting and educating people about alternative lifestyle choices. Consider this a personal invitation from me, the group's incoming treasurer for Fall 2006.

Here's the address and phone number (Dude, they deliver!):

I know what you mean... I think one reason I make every effort possible to do everything cool that comes up is that I'm afraid that otherwise I'll miss something, not be able to do that thing ever again... even if it's just something like some student activity or something. hah, sometimes I even go to student activites knowing that they'll be overrated, but also knowing if I didn't go I'd be mad because then I'd never know... meh.
