>>could you make it on your own? If i could, then I would. I'd go<< the calling's "wherever you will go"
happy halloween...really
The halfway point has finally come. I'd been hoping to make it to this evening since two weeks ago. Stressing, trying to plan how best to study for these two midterms and still have time to do problem sets and other homework. Well, things didn't turn out as the Freshman version of me would have liked. I didn't complete my physics problem set and i probably did less than mediocre on my math midterm, but i was happy to have survived.
After my anthro midterm, it was all happiness today. I went bowling and scored over 100pts.-- bowling has got to be one of the most excellent sports because I totally blow at it, but i have tons of fun while i'm at it. Can't say the same for physics or playing pinball :: the whole process of sucking is unenjoyable.
Conversation times with Alex was most excellent. And nation's was good food.
We talked about the types of people out there who reach a plateau and run with it until they're senior citizens. These are the people who go to their jobs, work banker's hours, vegetate at home and start over the next day. I suppose there are a lot of people like that, but I wonder if sometimes i categorize people this way just to make me feel better about myself. Maybe everybody is moving towards self enrichment, and all of the amazing things in this world aren't really going to waste for lack of appreciation. I'm probably being too big for my britches because "i'll understand when i get older." So does that mean that when i get wiser, i'll understand that it's okay to break your back for a mediocre payoff? I don't want to be old and full of regret because i spent my youth working hard to have a great life as an old lady.
How do people balance? How does one keep an eye on the future and still take advantage of the liberties of youth by having fun, dressing wildly, being shallow, being cerebral, etc.?
i should really try and figure out how to get a reblogger on this thing.
