Oh child

I need to stop playing so much poker.

Perhaps it is something in the air this morning,

But I feel completely content today. Nay, much more than content. I'm thoroughly delighted with everything in my life right now.

I am beside myself with excitement over my new major. One class down, and I have no doubt that I made the right decision in switching to the school of Journalism. David Wright may be the best thing that ever happened to me, next to Maynard Keenan. Prof W, learn to write and sing like MJK and you'll seal the deal.

I am in love. Completely, utterly, and perhaps foolishly head-over-heels. It's been a while since I last had this feeling. I hope it sticks around for a while.

I start tutoring again next week. Most are probably wondering why on earth I would include work in this type of post. Honestly, math is a passion of mine. A totally nerdy one, but a passion nonetheless. Helping people something I fancy just as much, if not more. Combining the two is a wonderful way to spend my time. Especially since I'm getting paid.

To top it all off, the inauguration of Pres. Obama is TODAY. Things are about to change for the better, people. The MUCH better. Get excited.

Things are looking up.

I forgot 8am existed.

Classes start tomorrow. Eek.

These are the days to hold onto

Also,

it is 4:45am and I have to work tomorrow. And every day until I go back to school. Ick.

Fuck my life.

But mostly my internet. I can't do ANYTHING online here because I get disconnected every 5 minutes. Ughhhhhhhh.

I start classes for my new major on Tuesday. I'm incredibly excited and pretty confident I'll do well, but it's still all pretty scary. I've made so many changes in the last 6 months....I guess one more won't hurt.

Break has been wonderful. Sam came to visit for new years. He's amazing. BC took Eldridge and me to the Bulls vs Thunder game last weekend. Chicago lost, but it was still totally bomb. Benny the Bull sillystringed me. I might have a crush on Derek Rose, and the redhead cheerleader. Sorry, Sam.

I'm super stressed right now. Everything is changing very quickly. I'm absolutely terrified.

Hello, Politics.

Jon Stewart just OWNED Mike Huckabee. Well done, sir. Huckabee was actually doing alright, until Stewart brought up same-sex marriage--comparing a ban on gay marriage to making it illegal for Hispanic people to vote. Sounds ridiculous, right? But SO on point. You can't claim that you believe in equality for all people and then take away gay rights, Huckabee. Mike's trying to argue that allowing homosexuals to marry would mean changing the definition of the word. WHO GIVES A FUCK? It's a WORD. These are PEOPLE. Conservatives, get over yourselves.

Also, I've decided that I'm somewhere in between a socialist and a communist. I hope my mother reads this, so she can shit her pants like most people do upon hearing those words. To be honest, I think the negative connotations associated with communism and socialism are ridiculous. I doubt if most people even really understand the concepts. What are you afraid of?

Happy New Year

I've had the most wonderful week. I wish it didn't have to end :/

Sam came to visit for New Years. 'Twas glorious. Spent the eve at Eldridge's, dominating at beer pong and Rockband. Couldn't ask for much more.

In other news, I got another speeding ticket about 10 days ago. Shitty. I can't afford this. I have to go to traffic school if I want it taken off my record, so I get to pay even more. Niiiiice.
