<160> Something about today: Walking home from my first class today something felt a little different, or rather, familiar actually - like everything was going to be ok, but still that many things were all going on at the same time. It's a nice day out today, 80 degrees exactly according to WeatherBug and I have to leave again for my second class in about an hour. Somehow today I am well rested and I feel like I could do anything, which is a switch from essentially these last two whole weeks (or more?) where everything has felt like it's been out of control in one department or another. I've had a ton of work to do too, mostly reading, but also my studio project with is due in its beta format on Thursday and it's still no where near how I'd like it to be. So I'll be spending a bunch of time on that today and tomorrow for sure.

So today's the first, it's already October... it's hard to believe, but this is the time of year where the weeks really just fly by, especially with everything that is going on around here lately. Last week this time I was preparing for a mini trip, to see my friends and to a concert. I went to see Stroke 9 play at Rutgers with three of my friends and had a great time last Wednesday. I finally caught a drumstick, I have everything else from this band, might as well add to the collection with something new, right? ;) Actually, their new CD finally comes out today (and me being their Regional Street Team Leader should know this best I suppose). However, I ventured to Tower Records right after my first class and it was no where to be found. I asked the girl at the info desk and she made some calls and had me write my name and phone number down. She said they were in but not up from shipping yet, so she'd give me a call when they were ready to be sold. Great, but umm if it comes out today shouldn't that have already been prepared? I can't help but caring, I've been supporting this band for too many years of my life, plus they're something of friends of mine in a way... so I have to look out for my boys! Anyway, so I guess I'll be making another trip their later on (today?) hopefully. I'm listening to my RENT soundtrack right now instead, did I mention that I went to see that at the Mann Center with my mom at the beginning of September? I can't remember, but it was great and got me back on a little RENT kick as tends to happen right after I see it. Actually, this was only my second time seeing it. I really want to see it in NY on Broadway, but alas that has still yet to happen.

I just ate some cookies and milk so you know this day has to be going well. I really should be using this time to do work, but I hadn't posted here in so long and there is SO much of my own stuff I want to find the time to do but just can't. Time is hard to spare anytime, but especially right now there is just too much to do, not to mention my real job which I feel like I'm neglecting when it needs me badly and I don't want to neglect it. I love my job, it's one of the best, I just need more hours in the day. So I've been trying to get myself and my life organized lately. I'm finally going to be allowed to do that make up work that I could have been doing all summer but didn't because the school never got back to me. So now how much time do I get? A week barely, things are due on October 9th, so lucky me. I mean, it was done at the end of the year for the most part anyway, but still - so I have one paper and my old studio work from last semester left to turn in. I was also going to make up the final I missed for another class, but in the school's letter they've informed me that I in fact did take the final (when there is absolutely no way I did as I was laying in a hospital bed at the time) but they can think what they like, I still earned a B in the class without it and lately I'd been thinking it wasn't worth to really make it up now at this point anyway. So pretty soon all of that should be officially taken care of at last, so that'll be nice.

I went on a clean up spree on both my room and my computer in the last couple of days. My computer gained a nice 1.5 GIGS out of it, plus I cleaned the registry out as well. Go me. As for my room, I cleaned out under the bed, reorganized all my little organizers that exist under there, and got this new drawer thing for my closest too, trying once again to make use of all the space I can. It's a little packed in there now b/c this drawer thing is rather big, it takes up a whole side (of my side of the closest, so a fourth technically...) but it seems to be working out the way I wanted. Anyway, it's about time for me to get going back to class because I've sort of been getting side tracked as I've been writing here. I'll be back again soon I'm sure.
