Cancellations

Today was a nice day for many reasons.

1) It was beautiful, in the 70s, sunny, and a slight breeze, and no humidity

2) Arch history was cancelled

3) Dispute Resolution was also cancelled because the guest speaker cancelled at the last minute

4) IM indoor soccer is now 3-1 because the team we were to play tonight already forfeited and we didn't even have to go to find out, the IM people called us. Props to the other team for cancelling early. Not playing is usually a good thing but I'm still hurting from last weeks game with a Texas sized bruise on my hip.

5) Now I can do stuff that I would have done tomorrow morning and thus can be more productive!

Things have an excellent way of working out.

On to the finals!

What Random Object Represents Your Inner Self?

If I'm a sock then why are my feet always cold?

You are a sock. You are a cozy, fuzzy, warm-hearted person. A lot of your friends describe you as a hopeless romantic. You fall for the opposite sex very easily. But be careful, because usually you don't know what you are getting into, and because you are very sensitive, you can get hurt... especially in early relationships. Also, don't exclude the cold-hearted from your "want-list", because they just might be looking for a kind person to warm up their heart.... or a sock to warm up their feet.

Made

I don't know how many of you out there watch MTV, but there's a show unlike most of their programs called Made. It's about high schoolers that want to challenge themselves at doing something unusual and unique that they wouldn't normally do. Some of the shows have been about getting in shape, getting elected to SGA, becoming a ballerina, and becoming a surfer. Whenever I watch that show I also am amazed that the person trying be made generally whines all the time. I never really understood why they whined so much when they wanted something so badly. However, today I had a revelation. I've been doing the same thing. I want to be made into a masters student, but I have not been willing to do the work. I've complained to many of you that may read this, trying to garner sympathy. For this I'm sorry. It dawned on me this morning as I was sitting at my computer that I was getting frustrated, but I've gotten myself in this situation. I've procrastinated and even before the procrastination I challenged myself to get the masters degree. It is now my goal to work dilligently on my masters project. As much as I don't want to do it, the MP is worth doing well, otherwise it would not be worth doing. I'm better than complaining, I'm not saying I won't complain more because I probably will. It takes effort to change and suck it up, hopefully I'll achieve my goal of producing a quality project. I know it will be worth it in the long run to have something that I feel good about producing even if just sits on my bookshelf with the rest of the reports I've written. I will know I've been made.

Better Together

Josh was telling me about the new Jack Johnson cd tonight, and he mentioned that I'd probably like this song. He's correct and thus I've posted the lyrics for you below.

Better Together

There is no combination of words I could put on the
back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
And our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together

It’s always better when we’re together
We’ll look at the stars when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they’ll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be we’ll sit beneath the mango tree now

It’s always better when we’re together
We’re somewhere in between together
Well it’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

I believe in memories they look so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together
