Happy Tuesday

Sitting at home, listening to Rich's radio show (Stormin(g) the Castle, on WRBB our campus radio station).  PSAs right now.  It's kind of weird, but I love public service announcements.  They're the weirdest of all commercials and usually they're not telling you to buy something. I mean, that PSA for the Make-a-Wish foundation, where a little boy with a terminal illness gets to be a batboy for his favorite pro baseball team, makes me all weepy. Rich is being ridiculous :)  And I've decided that, while some of the metal just makes my ears shut off and I tune it out, most of it is pretty awesome.  I just wanna get up and flail around the room.  Only I don't do that because I might hurt myself or others.

Tomorrow I have what is only my third day of classes. I love having five days off per week, but I secretly wish I had full-time school again.  I absolutely love school.  I think that the primary reason I hated being on co-op was not getting to be in class in the fall.  September is my favorite month because of the weather (crisp but still comfortable, and still colorful) and because of the gorgeous back-to-school atmosphere. Buying notebooks and textbooks, rearranging your sleep schedule to fit your courseload, meeting new and old friends in classes, meeting new professors, exploring new subjects, reading new books, learning new things, classroom discussions, writing papers, doing homework, all of the things my college friends probably think I hate.  They are the things I love most.  I had so much fun doing my homework today, you have no idea.  I was required to write a one-paragraph response to A Midsummer Night's Dream and I ended up analyzing the whole play (it IS my favorite).

Today's summary.  Woke up, had an absolutely lovely morning and didn't get up early, did laundry with Emma (disaster, I smacked the dryer because it didn't take her money--sometimes that helps it just sort of notice you're feeding it--and it shut itself off--as if to say "I don't need to take this kind of abuse from you") in the afternoon.  At two thirty, Anna, Emma, Bridget and I went to lunch with Kate, Dan's girlfriend.  Dan is in Cuba :( for the semester, which sucks, but Kate is awesome so we decided that we'd try to hang out with her whether he's in town or not.  Then back to my apartment, where I fell asleep for a few hours instead of going to anna's.  Made tea for Kayleigh and I (love love love my "tension tamer" tea).  Did my homework (my awesome, awesome homework).   Looked at my other blog, Great and Fearsome, cowritten by Peri (greatnfearsome.blogspot.com) and tried to think of some things to write on there.  I'm "Great" and she's "Fearsome".  Didn't feel inspired today, didn't want to push.  We're using it to write a book about the team.  For more info, click on over there.

So yes. Back to school again tomorrow.  Hopefully punctually, because Professor Goshgarian is not impressed thusfar with my lateness (he's my 8am and my 9:50am class).  Alright.  Twenty minutes until the end of Stormin(g) the Castle, and I'm going to try to become sleepy in that time. 

Goodnight, sleep sweet!
