So I was driving home from my boyfriends place tonight and thought, "Hey, I'm not too tired. I think I will read over my poetry for class tomorrow morning." (I just know I am going to regret doing so at 7 am). The poet we are going over this week is Christina Rossetti, a English poet who lived in the mid to late 1800's. Her stuff is really good, 'cept for the fact that there are words I have to google like "alway." When I looked it up, the dictionary told me it is a Middle English word for always, or all the way. You know my next step, Widipedia *fist-pump*. Though the article was a mix of being intruiging and booring it also revealed to me that Middle English ended around the year 1470 . . . and being as late as it is I have no desire to research it further at this delightful time of night. (Though I suppose the word is one of those that carried over from the shift in the evolution of the written and spoken word of the English language (not like you are so incredibly interested in the topic).
On to juicier topics . . . .
I did a video response on youtube a while back in where I attempted to talk with an Irish accent. I butchered the accent but I suddenly have people telling me I need to make more videos. Even sadder... I am considering it. I know, I know, it is SUPER lame to start into a internet trend after it has been going for . . . well. . . years. Oh well, I guess there are worse things I could do with my time.
School is going pretty well. Super stressful, but really good. I thought I would have time to work out this semester. Lol, oh boy, not unless I buy toners for work or cram my schedule tighter. I really, REALLY want to graduate on time but I don't know if I can afford to risk lower grades just so I can get out of school into the real world (not like the "real world" is any more harsh, real, or adventurous than the world I am living in now). Then again, if I don't take the two extra classes I need to graduate, that will give me more time to save up before I begin paying off student loans. *sigh*
Another thing with being where I am, it is weird looking back, seeing how far I've come, wondering how I got to where I am now (not like I actually don't know), and the worst, where I am going to be when it is all over and I start down the road of the rest of my life. They ask you these questions when your younger, but I am not a paleontologist or a firefighting-balerina-princess-warrior. Now that I am here and I'm catching my third wind for the race as my last lap begins, so many people are starting to ask me what I plan to do. Honestly, though the question scares me, I have no idea. The farthest plans that I have made are to keep my options open, be prepared if opportunity's come my way, and to continue loving the people I love and pursuing the goals and passions that I have. Driving is a great time to think about things . . . everything, and I have decided . . . that I will not make any solid plans past this December (at this point in time. I guess my long lost friend, life changes, could decide to visit my door, but we haven't visited for a couple years). Any further than that and the current future becomes a twist of exciting and bleak. I don't have the slightest clue what God has in store for me. All that I know is that I have this feeling that this is going to be a great school year. I'll let you know how it goes ;)
Well! That was a long one! But that's what happens when I blog late at night after a long week.
Random Act of the Day: Took a seven minute power nap during a break in my night class. It was fantastic!
Current Contemplation: Human behavior (sorry, nothing fun or witty on my mind tonight). . . , and wondering what would it be like if people gave off some sort of constant light.
Till another day!
