10 thing I'm going to do this year:
1. Finish my reading for class before it's due. I say this every semester but maybe if I actually put it in writing, I'll stick to it.
2. Go to the gym. Its free, why not?
3. Not let my social worker complex get the best of me. I don't need to 'take care' of any of my friends who can't handle taking care of themselves.
4. Streak the lawn.
5. Go to as many tri sig events as possible (That is, if tri sig isn't in the crapper because of some events last year)
6. Talk to a stranger in each of my classes.
7. Take pictures. Life should be documented.
8. Spend some quality time on the lawn. I never seem to go there other than walking to classes.
9. Go to Monticello
10. Maybe learn how to do something new?
Yes I realize I'm not being very ambitious....whatevs.

Sometimes sorry is just a five letter word....
I don't understand how some people can think that saying sorry would erase months of inappropriate behavior. More often, actions speak louder than words. You want to say you're sorry? Don't be a dick to me or those I love.
A song I like
Guster- Either Way

Poison in everything you said
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make....
Either way?
Were you ever kind, were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
Happened every time, so it must be true
Where did you learn it's either him or you?
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you

Surprise!
Life has been full of exciting, stressful, confusing surprises lately. Its hard to decide what to make of everything. Oh well...I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Oh sweet summer, where have you gone?
As I find the end of the summer fast approaching, I think it would be nice to reflect on some thing that happened. This summer was actually fairly uneventful and I can't really say that I'm upset about that. After working for 8 hours, 5 days a week last summer, I decided this year would be a good time to chill before I have to enter the real world and begin working my ass of everyday for the rest of my life.
I did take a class. It was fantastic. I learned a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff concerning the food industry and why corporate america cannot be trusted...but as a sociology buff, that I already knew. Mostly I liked the class because of the people I met. I was told I would meet people I would never normally meet during the year and that was entirely true. That class was a wonderful surprise and I only hope to stay in touch with those I met.
After my class, I chose the life of luxury. I go to the pool almost everyday, then drink with the same people almost every night. It's a blast when its happening but makes me wonder about the future because to be honest, I have absolutely no direction. I've met some wonderful new friends this summer and a few who have already graduated. Talking to them reminds me that graduation really isn't that far away and when it gets here, I should have some sort of a plan or I'm screwed. What am I supposed to do? Grad school? Get a job? Backpack through Europe? Move back in with my parents? Its all very stressful, especially during those times that I feel like I don't have any passion. I like psychology, but am I passionate about it? What can I do to make some sort of impression on the world or at least those around me? I guess I have two more years of college to figure out the next step.
This summer flew by. I suppose if I could redo it, I would work a little harder to get a job but then again, if today were the first day of summer, I probably wouldn't be doing anything differently.
