I am going insane. It is like there isn't enough time in a 24 hour day. I could finish everything I needed to if I could stay up all night. I wish I didn't need to sleep. I'm just trying to get through the next week, and then all of this insanity will be over. Then I will just be looking for a job. A new kind of insanity.
I haven't been up to much except for homework lately. I spent a lot of time in the library, doing extensive research on the cold war, and Stalin's imperialistic planning for Europe, and how those plans changed towards the end of the WWII. Lots of reading. I found an amazing book full of primary sources, it is like 500 pages long, and is comprised of letters, selections from speeches, records, and eye-witness accounts of what went on behind the iron curtain between 1945 and 1965. So interesting to get inside these people's heads and try to wrap my mind around what they were doing/planning. People are crazy!
My roommate Sophie got engaged a couple days ago to her boyfriend (now fiancé) Tyler. Congrats to them! He gave her a rock on a ring, and she gave him an x-box 360 that she had been hiding since the end of last summer. Funny what people do. And congrats to everyone that I love that is graduating... (that would be almost everyone that I still know at Walla Walla). So sad. I cleaned out my drawer in the maclab, and my drawer in the FAC with all my art projects. It's setting in. I'm really leaving this place. I'm so scared I'm going to forget something important that I've carelessly lent to someone or left around campus. People are starting to come look at my house to see if they want to move into my room and take my place. Replacements. It is a strange feeling.
As far as music, I am still really enjoying the Watson Twins new album, Fire Songs. Also, French Kicks' song 'abandon'. Good stuff.

There are people who live on the streets, and that's what they do. They stand in one spot all day, watching all us run around. I recognize them when I pass them each day. Sometimes I wonder if they recognize me.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to think about the things I do each week, each day. All this running around. Life can be so complex. Where is the balance of simplicity and necessity. I know people who live out of a van.
These are a few things the first few lines of your blog inspired me to write. Thank you.
