copycat reflections
So........in the style of Katie and Rachel, here we go.
I cheated and looked at my journal (not this one) cause I don't remember much.

A year ago I was a senior in high school. I was counting down the days to graduation, but I was afraid, as it says in my journal, of being "thrown into the real world without and job or a clue."

I was anxious to leave Rockford and never look back.

Now I'm sitting here, dreading my finals but looking forward to the week after. I'll be living back home for a month, during which I'm going to Illinois pick out horses for the upcoming camp season.

A year ago, I was in Illinois visiting my cousisns. And listening to the new Dead Meadow album. I was listening to it for the umpteenth time today, and I must say it has the essence of April. It doesn't have the heavy, humid air of May or June but it isn't bitter like March or February. It's just warm, full of hope and optimism for the days to come.

Ok, back on topic. I can't say next year will be much different from this year. I'll still be at Central, living in the dorms. Probably dreading my exams again.

Hopefully me and my friends will be apartment hunting. We'll be excited that we'll finally be able to just throw our weed on the kitchen table, without worrying about someone telling an RA.

Hopefully I'll have a real reason for being here, besides "What the hell else would I do?" or "My parents made me."

I was so wrong about this first year at college. I thought I'd be leaving home forever. I had it completely backwards. For the first time I realized I'm lost, that I don't know shit. So now all I have to do is find my way back home for the first time.

But tomorrow never knows, I guess.

Hi all. I have a bunch of homework. So much that I'm wasting time here instead of doing it. So you know it's bad. This morning I got up at the crack of dawn (ie 9:30) to help out at the animal shelter. Not because I'm a good person, but because I'm suffering from dog withdrawal syndrome.

Also, I figured out that if I take like 18 credits every semester, and don't study abroad, I can get out in 3 1/2 years instead of 4! Then I can just go backpacking in Europe after I graduate! Then I won't have to learn philosophy in French! Woooo! Excitement! Ok I'm done have a good weekend.

Hi all. I'm at the library. I'm supposed to be working on a paper for poli-sci but you know what? I don't feel like it. I wouldn't do it at all except that it's one of those wonderful group projects and we have enough dead wait as it is.

Also, I made my very first icon. I don't know why I always had trouble making them before, but then again I've had trouble putting a floppy disk in the right way.

Also, my dreads are starting to look more like dreads and less like I just neglected to comb or wash my hair for a month.

I suppose I should get back to my paper. Bleah. Good day to you all.

Peace and other things
Hi friends. How goes it? Did you know Sunday was the third anniversary of the Iraq war? Today we had a rally. The turnout was ok, but not great. There were even a couple Vietnam vets, which was really cool. A lot of people made some really solid and intelligent points, which was sorely missing from some other rallies I've been to.


But anyway its been 3 years now, and what has been accomplished? Is it worth it? You all know what I think, so I'm not gonna say anything. I don't even mean for those questions to be slanted, though they probably are. I honestly want to know.


On a lighter note, I've noticed that with the addition of dreadlocks and some new shall we say....habits, I'm an almost perfectly stereotypical hippy. Which is both bogus and hilarious.

Is anyone around available to hang out in the next few days? Because I am incredibley bored. Also, half my hair is dreadlocked. The rest will be done tonight. I will never have to comb my hair again. Or at least not for a very long time. That is all.

[edit 10:48]
I really wish I knew who homsar was.

Am I wrong to be pissed off in this situation?
So, me and my friend were supposed to go home today. We were going to leave about 7ish. But yesterday day she asked if I wanted to leave earlier and I said no, I had class. At which point she said 'shit, I'll call you back.' She never did. So I just called her and asked when she wanted to leave. She was like "Ummmm, I'll call you back in a minute." So then my mom called and told me my friend's already back in Rockford. And then she started bitching me out for not calling sooner and blah blah blah.

Seriously, who fucking leaves their friend out in the sticks like that with out even telling them? And who bitches out their kid for being left out in the sticks? People don't usually piss me off but this really got on my nerves.

Ok, rant over.
