Big Yellow Mug
I feel a little better today. I just came back from Leavey (the big, undergraduate, 24/7 library for you non-Trojans) where I was doing calculus homework for about three hours. It wasn’t all that fun at the time, but it feels so good to be done with something that’s not due until later. I did have good music on tap; namely, The Ataris, DMB, and the recently-rediscovered-by-me Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. Music makes the homework a little more tolerable, if anything. Procrastination is my nature, unfortunately. I should try to do this more often. Maybe… try to go to the library a few times a week? Hmm. I need a more concrete goal.
I turned in an essay on Friday about Robinson Crusoe and Utopia. It was horrible, mostly because it was around 5am when I finally went to sleep after writing it. Ouch. That’s the kind of stuff that I need to stop doing.
Bored? Go to the website of artist Oli Goldsmith. Take a look around. I love that stuff. His work is featured on Our Lady Peace’s latest record, as well as some of their recent music videos. Good stuff.
Time to write a short essay explaining why I should get special-interest (read: good) housing next year, like I have this year. I live in Parkside International Residential College, which is special-interest housing because it’s international. In theory, there should be more foreigners here than anywhere else. In truth, I’m surrounded by suites full of 100% Californians. Not my suite, but you get the idea. Anyway, next semester, I’d like to move over to the Parkside Apartments, which are also a part of PIRC. The benefit of this is that I’m more likely to get the good housing, because it’s special-interest, and therefore precedes all other housing — just as if I were applying to the quiet floor, or the honors floor, or the purple salamanders floor.
That was a joke.
Regardless. I’m going to go make myself some Easy Mac in my new big yellow mug, and get some more work done. #
