The ubiquitous weather post.
It rained yesterday! You know what that means, right? Yes, indeed - today was my kind of day! Clear skies, crisp air, clean smells - and simply gorgeous!
I wasn't in much of a mood to celebrate the fantastic day when I first woke up, however - since I woke up at bloody 6:20am. It was still friggin' cold at that time, skies were a foreboding shade of gray, and I was making my way to campus to work at Eggs & Orgs.
But about half-way through the breakfast, the sun started poking through the clouds, and by the time Eggs & Orgs was over, it was out for good.
Side note: being one of the oldest students at Eggs & Orgs was really disorienting (aha, I made a pun! Eggs & Orgs happens at Orientation... disorienting... I'm so hilarious). The hundreds of freshmen just looked so... young! Naive! Innocent! NOT ABOUT TO GRADUATE!
I felt like an old fogey.
But at least the weather was beautiful! It put me into driving-mode, which means that I'll look for any excuse to hop into my car and cruise around town. I do need some reason or another, since I can't justify wasting (expensive) gas on a pleasure jaunt; I decided I'd return a book to the library off of Governor, and check out the new one in the Renaissance area. Fairly decent reasoning, in my opinion.
Anyway, this kind of weather makes me giddy. :D

Extraordinary
"Extraordinary" by Liz Phair

So... despite my little to-do list, this entry has absolutely nothing to do with what my WIP.
Ha. I'm so lazy, I no longer want to write about what I wanted to write about.
Speaking of lazy, however, I mostly just wanted to rant about how quickly August flew by, and how little time I have left in my undergraduate career.
I really wish I'd taken summer classes; since I didn't this year, I may have to next summer, just to complete my minor (which I have every intention of doing). I should have taken classes during Session II, though - I've done so little this summer, it bores me to think about it. I had plenty of time that I wasted idly. Including the GEMM camp, I've worked approximately 50 hours all summer long.
(Yes, those 50 hours were all for the camp. Yes, this is me being snarky. But hey, it's all at my expense.)
I've spent so much goddamned money and time doing absolutely goddamned nothing. I really need to get a goddamned job.
Anyway. Contrary to popular belief, I am not being evasive - I'm being reclusive. There's a difference, really.
Every now and then, even the most social of butterflies wants to retreat from society and hole up in her room with a couple of good books, some manga, maybe a movie - and no people. It's just one of those times.
This butterfly means no offense; she just wants her alone-time. :D
I'm effing bored, but at the moment, I don't really want to see people. Yes, I'm a bundle of contradictions. Isn't that being human?
