Zero To Hero In No Time Flat...

I missed watching Hercules with the 324 gang last night. It's ok though, we watched Power Rangers tonight. Besides, I need those long knock outs to reenergize from time to time. You know those days when you wake up relatively early and by the end of it you feel exhausted from the amount of work you've accomplished, even if you haven't accomplished all that much? That's exactly the kind of day I just had. And it isn't like I didn't get a lot accomplished, because I kind of did... it's more like I feel school narrowing down to an end and with it time running out and I can't help but be bombarded with thoughts of missing out on things to do before I leave. I think it's just nerves... that and it has been raining here for a few days. I haven't been outside for a while. Not in large increments at least. Anyways--point being-- I'm optimistic. I'm coming to terms with leaving school... because in reality it's only 4 months. 4 potentially excruciatingly long months... 4 potentially wonderful best summer of my life months. It's all in how I look at it. And seeing as how I'm not taking any summer classes, staying here is a little out of the question. Plus I miss my family. 

So for now I'm going to look forward and be positive. I'm going to be optimistic. I've learned a lot this first year of school... time to implement my knowledge back in Central PA for a little while. Wish me luck!

Update: Upon publishing this post I checked my University E-mail. Not only did I realize I forgot to turn in a Quiz today for English, but I also forgot to submit work for the student run art show, as well as the fact that I'm suppose to install things for tomorrow... only thing is, I'm suppose to go home. Stay positive... stay positive.

I Scream. You Scream...

The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavor to bewhat you desire to appear. -Socrates

I think Socrates was a pretty ridiculous guy.  Intelligent as hell... but ridiculous and crazy beyond belief.  We were learning about him a few weeks ago in Mosaics (English for all you non-Temple Folk). He was pretty bad-ass. He got an entire city to follow him and believe in his teachings. And he did it all without writing a single thing down.  Everything we know was written by others, mostly his students.  Sometimes I wish I had a students... hey I's settle for an overbearing obsessive friend, as long as they'd care enough about what I had to say to write every word of it down.  On second thought, I say some pretty absurd things... 

Had dinner with Sarah and Sarah today. Cheesesteaks are glorious.  It was rainy... all day.  I spent most of it in bed writing an outline for my English paper.  I turned in said essay at 4:40. Took a huge amount of craft paper from one of the foundation studios for my drawing project. I'm actually really excited about it, Sarah and Sarah were extremely helpful.  Watched some more Joan of Arcadia season two. Seriously, if you have not looked it up recently, GET ON THAT! It is that good. Seriously.  Drew on Julie. Brianne and Cait fell asleep as I watched our third episode before I decided it was time for bed too.  Which brings me here... writing this longer-than-expected post.  I have to say, looking back on it... nothing really eventful occurred today, but for some reason I'm really happy with how the day went. I'm happy with how my friends see me. I'm happy with how I see myself. And for today, that seems like enough.  And in retrospect, I think that's what Socrates was getting at don't you?

Somewhere over the...

This little surprise happened during my drawing class on Friday. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to the window like 5 year olds in complete awe...
Then something even more magical occurred!  A DOUBLE RAINBOW! We all made wishes...
(I didn't have a big enough view to get the complete thing, but it was actually pretty sweet. I mean come on now, how many times do you see a rainbow in the city?!)

Current Status: Brimming with excitement and anticipation... ZOO tomorrow!
