A perfect day

I would love to have a perfect day.

A day where I wake up, totally ready to wake up, to a pleasant surprise that starts the day right, like a beautiful naked woman cleaning my room. Then I would have a tasty breakfast and all of my friends and I would do something radical, like go snowboarding or mountain biking or something.

Actually, as I am typing this I am changing my mind. I now think that a perfect day has a lot to do with one's memory of the day, because you can only live the day once, but you can always have a memory. SO, all that needs to happen on the perfect day is tons of memorable moments with my closest friend. And a squire has to follow us around and videotape it, and he has to be dressed in medieval clothing. And nothing bad can happen.


Actually, minus the squire part, I've had plenty of perfect days.

Red Sea

I saw you, and you were away.

Where was I, hunny, where was I? I think I was right here...

You were away in the Sea of Red.
Quite honestly, you all have nothing to be afraid of.

I mean, we all have oure personal trials and tribulations, but in the whole scheme of things, they are nothing.

There will always ecist someone somewhere in some organization or subject to some dehumanization that has to go through worse than you... and it is your privilege to always be able to look to them.

Work

I have so much work today it is honestly ridiculous. I have more homework than I could possibly finish, I have to give something like 10 interviews for the preceptorials committee that I am on, and I have to do house elections for my house, OZ.
There is no way I will do all of the reading I am supposed to, I will just pick what sounds useful or interesting. Thats how I did it in high school, but I honestly wish it were different here.

I want to learn. I like to learn, that is actually why I am here. But so be it...

Actually, a good friend of mine recently told me that he thought that most of the learning done at college wasn't in class, but through the whole experience of living on your own, leasing apartments, managing your time, hooking up with girls, and so on. He is right.

Rush

Here I am embarking on the college experience. Unknown to rest of the world, I experienced today what I am going to call 'The Spirit of Excitement'. Yes, it's true, today I enjoyed the warm feeling of being a strapping young freshman looking forward towards the future.

Today three unforgettable events took place. The first, I wrote a check for $4,125 in order to lease an apartment for a friend and I to inhabit next year. The second, I was given a key to the house of the Fraternity with which I plan to take part in, which happened immediately before my first relatively sober (second overall) DJ performance.

I feel invincible. No one stopped me from being the dream today, and I don't know why they would or ought to tomorrow.

Date Parties

Especially this crazy second semester, it is not as big a deal to ask a girl out for a date party or for the night. Probably because there are so many, and you are kinda supposed to have a date, so when a guy asks a girl he is backed by the fact that he is supposed to have a date and when a girl is asked she keeps in mind that everyone else has a date and he is supposed to have one.

I don't like it. I want it to be like home again, where it meant something if you asked a girl out on a date. I really enjoyed that. True, it is more rare, but that is what makes it magical.

At home, a date was something to look forward to. Something, possibly, to be nervous about. Here it is just a battle to see who gets the cutest girl, and who gets to em first.
