i'm not going outside

today i feel: pretty good
today i'm hearing: semisonic -- never you mind
today i'm thinking: that i've really missed the sun

Today's been absolutely gorgeous. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, not a cloud in the sky and I have Pom tea. You have no idea how happy that makes me.

Things are actually starting to look up down here. I'm getting along with basically everyone in the theatre department (meaning faculty, grad students and upperclassmen; not neccesarily anyone my own age) and they seem to think I'm a pretty good kid. This is a great relief to me personally. Classes are going pretty well right now except for Remedial Mathematics. Which I'm getting a very low C in. However, I have decided that I don't care about that class because I'm doing really, really well in the recitative portion. If his tests are impossible, that's not my doing. He can suck it. I'm just a bit jittery over finals but it's a good kind of feeling, strangely enough. Carbondale is still the asshole of the world, but at least I'm busy again. It's just kind of annoying that this didn't happen until the very end of the semester. Figures.

I still don't know what the deal is with next year. Carbondale really is the asshole of the world and there are a lot of other places I would rather be (i.e. Chicago, Cambridge, any place other than Carbondale...). I'm all-ready signed up for a room next year and I've got classes lined up and all, but I could honestly go either way. I'm pretty sure it's just going to depend on what's going on with Bozarth this summer. I could take a year off no problem. I'd like to take a year off. But at the same time, I could take full loads and get done as quick as I can and be done with that nonsense.

We shall see, we shall see.

I believe that it is time to go and listen to Wilco for countless hours. Or just take a nap until Lost. Or maybe both. Who knows!!
