"Let Us Not Be Hasty"

It bothers me when people jump into things without thinking about the consequences. It really bothers me when people don't set themselves up for success. It really REALLY bothers me when people do all this and hurt others in the process.

Come on, people. Live like you value every minute. If you don't value your own time, consider the people who do. You would have an easier...hold on while I stuff envelopes.

Done. I love work study. To be honest, it's quite refreshing to work with people who have already graduated college. It gives me hope for the world. And they're all so positive, it's just great. I've met a lot of the teachers thanks to having this job.

I shall get off my soapbox now. :)

Fall break was nice, and it made for a very short school week. I don't have any homework save practicing and working ahead on math, so I am going home for the weekend. I get to see one of my brother's baseball games. I miss those. He was going to have a tournament up here, which would have been very fun, but it was moved. Big bummer.

Things are going smoothly with school. I got my midterms and my grades are fine. Stats could be better, but it might in the end. Part of the problem in that class is that the prof's voice is so soothing. I have a hard time staying awake!

It has been beautiful up here. I went for a bike ride yesterday and found a nice housing development. It's fairly hilly, which is good because you can't go all that fast in neighborhoods. It would also be good for rollerblades, I think. Oh joy, another thing to store in my dorm room.

Okay I must shred paper now. Bye bye.

Free At Last!

I am officially DONE with midterms. At least the ones that haven't been postponed. Tomorrow I have guitar class and FYS, and then I get to go HOOOOOME! Well, first I have to go to the bank and Toys R Us to pick up legos for my bro, but then I'm zipping down the highway. Oh, I also need gas. That's kind of important. *mental note*

This week has been crazy, but it was a little easier because I'm rather used to the craziness now. It's predictable. Predictable craziness is not as hard to handle as unpredictable chaos. Just ask Satie.

So, what kind of break do I get? Just the weekend and two days, but that's okay. I haven't been home since...the first week of September. Wow. Time has flown, and been creeping along, at the same time. Typical school year.

I'm going to miss all the people I've met here. And, I admit, a certain Kawai piano. It just moved from one of the teaching studios, which means it is fairly new, and I've fallen in love with it. I spend more time with it than any other, and I get jealous if someone else is around. Especially people who aren't pianists. It's really annoying to look in that practice room and see a flute player in there. Come on, people, if you're not going to use the piano, at least go to a room that doesn't have a grand!

Thank you. I needed to vent that frustration. Tomorrow in work study, I think I shall ask if I can make posters asking for non-pianists to avoid the grand rooms. Yes. I shall. A couple days ago we were researching tuition rates of other schools. If you want a complicated and confusing project, that's the one for you. I suppose having 3 people working on it at once didn't help, but still, how many different ways can a school display (or bury, disguise, or scatter as the case may be) tuition, room, board, and fees? It was rediculious. Rediculous. Redicoulous. Rediculus. Oh my. Ridiculous. There. Ah yes, phonics and the English language. It's...ridiculous.

I am now off to take a shower. After all, I do need to get up in 6 hours. Oh college life.
