Soon to be updating my thoughts on Nausea by Sartre and existentialism (more for myself and probably Mike and Steve than anyone else). As soon as I finish the book, probably the next couple of days. I want to talk to someone about it so bad.
Current PA story is soooo good. Penny-Arcade plus ping-pong = awesome.
Right now = Blur and New Pornographers |

I don't like it when people greet me by saying "howdy".
1. I am not a cowboy.
2. I don't think cowboys say howdy to each other anyway.
3. I am not a cowboy. |

so i finally decided to update.
i am really glad that i read all day today. i needed to have a day to myself where i did what i wanted. This week was way too long and difficult, so i am happy that i just relaxed and didn't think about anything outside of the book. by the way, the book i read and finished was called Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. i definitely recommend it, although it was very sad, and made me a bit upset. the characters in the book just made me feel like you just have to accept your fate and thats it.
oh yeah! i went to england last weekend for those of you who don't know. it was for my granddad's memorial service. i definitely needed to get away from school, although its odd i traveled like 6000 miles in 4 days. but anyway, i got to see my family that i don't regularly see. the service was really nice, and i learned a lot of things about my granddad that i never knew. my mom's godfather spoke about their days in the RAF in malta, and i think my granddad had the time of his life there. one of his friends later in life spoke about his time on the boats, and my mom spoke about the whole family's favorite memories with granddad (mine, scott, and marcus' all involved funny practical jokes that my granddad played on us), and my cousin charlotte read a poem that she wrote with granddad. so many people came, even guests who stayed on the boats, which really says a lot about my granddad. he had such a positive impact on so many people's lives and i wish i could have known him better. I hope that i can do as much as he did in his life, he is very inspiring. He was a crew captain of RAF cargo planes, he owned a pub, drove in rally races, flew glider planes, owned his own engineering company in Spain, and owned the hotel boats. and i really hope that my grandma visits soon. i am also happy to see that my uncle phil is doing ok living on his own now. and i forgot what a beautiful place stratford is.
also, i am having difficulty deciding what i actually want to do with my life. i thought it was pretty much decided when you declare your major, but i found out that there are almost too many things i want to do with it. i could do environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, and going to medical school has popped into my head. apparently engineering is an acceptable path to going to med school, and its something i've been toying with in my head. i am definitely interested in the anatomy and chemistry and all of that, but i just have doubts to whether i would actually like it once i get there, and whether that is the right path for me to take. and i don't know if i would be good at, and they say you don't know until you try, but thats a very expensive try. so yeah, i have some serious thinking to do.
otherwise, everything is going well. really busy lately (5 exams and an 18 page paper last week) which means i dont really get to see anyone or do anything that i want to do, but i think that will change in the next two weeks. i miss everyone at home, and i miss my friends here. it seems that everyone here has kinda drifted, and everyone is doing their own thing and living all over and i feel sad about that because i tend to reminisce about freshman year and how we were all so close and school wasnt difficult and we could all just have fun. i want to work harder to see everyone because i think i dont put in enough effort, although it is difficult with such a demanding schedule. maybe i should just meet with people and do homework together.
and also, OMG i want a ps3, xbox360 and a wii sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. i dont think i could live life without video games.

[Jul. 9th, 2007|10:00 pm] |
3 times, all from baseballs
2 almost in the head
one line drive from daryl that was fucking very fucking fast, back to me who was pitching. it would have hit me in the chest or stomach if i didnt catch it, and it prolly would have been a trip to the e-room.
ughhhhhhhhhhh some higher power wants me dead!
after a terrible day, the one bright spot was steve calling me, saying one word that will make me laugh forever and ever: cresta |

i am glad that i have been playing tennis more, because i really didnt play that much until this past week where i played 3 times in 6 days. it is especially nice because it is spending time with my dad and brother, which doesnt really happen to often although we live in the same house.
england in october i believe for like 4 days. not finalized though. i will have to miss a couple days of class. too bad it will be a sad occasion. i will also have been there for every season now.
and i would give anything for the school year to be starting. or to be at school right now. |

lol @ high school lj, so so lame and embarrassing. but then i guess when i look back on this entry i will probably think it will be lame and embarrassing.
i want to get into jazz really bad, i want my dad to recommend me some things, because i like the music, but i don't know what i want to listen to. recommendations!
weekend perfection.
i like to read to learn.
pointless entry, but i guess that might be good, because i think it means that life is pretty close to perfect, only if i didnt have to work!
and stop telling me to cut my hair if you tell me that, i dont care if i look stupid or messy or better with short hair because i like it now, and IT IS my hair, isnt it? and even if you do like it, dont get cocky! i dont keep it because you like it!
back to running long distances, i wish i wasnt so tired in the morning or i would run then too. and i was happy to not even be tired after the run tonight.
i miss katamari! i shall play soon! the music is so happy! japan! the king! the prince! perfect!

I feel like I am living for the weekend and I hate it so much. Well I guess I am living for it, but I wish I could enjoy weekdays more, but work totally brings me down. So it makes my summer somewhat depressing. The mornings are way too short and the nights are really short.
I want to start running long distances at night and start doing all this stuff more regularly because running is such a refreshing thing to do, and I think it would be better to do on a cool summer night with the sun just setting. And I would also like to play tennis more, and I think I will now that Scott is done with school. I just need to be outside after being at work all day. If I spent my nights outside, I dont think I would hate my day so much. After work just has to be worth it more than it has been lately.
I talked to Mrs. Polanski the other day on Dave's phone for about 15 minutes and I was glad to talk to her, because we just talked about life, my granddad, and my hair. She really has a good way of looking at things, and it was good to talk about my granddad, I think I needed it.
For some reason I realized I don't stop and enjoy life enough, so I would like to start doing that. Next year maybe I will take the long way home and just sit somewhere and think and relax in peace instead of rushing back to the apartment like I always did the past two years after classes rushing back to the dorms. What's the rush? MSU is such a beautiful place, I should just take it all in. I also don't want to go to bed so early or nap either next year, because I want to enjoy everything more. I really want it to be school again.
I just want life to be more enjoyable, because its only enjoyable 2 out of 7 days a week right now.

i felt like updating for many many reasons, but that was yesterday and i'm not sure i can remember a lot of it, but i'll try!
most importantly, my mom is back home and it feels like forever since i have seen her. i think everything is fine overseas, i didn't know my grandma had a minor heart attack! i feel like no one tells me anything and its a bit upsetting. although my brother pointed out that i probably wasn't told because it would just upset me (which it did). but she is back and all is well for the most part. some murmurs of shipping me there to work, but it prolly is not possible and my mom doesn't want me coming back hating grandma (i dont think its possible, but she insists).
halfway done with school...scary
played street hockey today and it was so much fun. brought back a lot of old memories....
last night was fun, although i don't think me calling counted as drunk dialing!
i also found this letter my dad wrote me after i graduated, and it has a lot of advice in it and some stuff he would never say to me face to face because it is a little emotional. i am glad i reread it because there really is some good advice in there that i should take more often.
i threw so much crap away cleaning my room. old useless pictures and other junk and clothes.
i swear there was one more thing, maybe some other time |

| well |

i guess i have studied pretty hard today.
i talked to my dad and i didn't even bother to ask about mom or when she is getting back because he would just say "she's fine" or "i don't know", and that isn't really enough for me. At least he wished me luck on finals haha. I must say I am also apprehensive about him being the one moving me out, but whatever.
also, nothing like getting kicked out from a county park after swimming across a freezing ass lake to some deserted island while wearing short shorts. that means the barbecue was worth it.
someone makes me happy!
also, don't cook hot dogs with scented candles.
i would say this weekend was a very good way to end the year. but i realize that on friday i will be officially 50% done with college. thats somewhat scary.
back to the books. |
