I'd just like to mention to the whole world that I was able to go outside today in a t-shirt again. A t-shirt! And there was no shivering involved whatsoever! Rejoice!
I can't believe I'm heading back tomorrow night! I think this has been one of the shortest weeks ever. And just when I was having fun, too. Of course, I know when I come back over the summer it won't be anything like this at all... This week's been all going-out-to-eat and shopping and going-to-movies and generally-hanging-out and doing-very-little. And tomorrow's going to be all get-up-early and finish-financial-aid and pack-everything-up-again. Too quick!! The first few days I sort of wanted to just get back to Chicago... probably because it was all cold and snowy and desolate here. And now... goshdarnit, world! Always working to make life harder and more confusing for me!!
I sat around today and played Xenosaga a bit... unfortunately now I'm caught up to where I am at school here, only my characters are in better shape so I want to continue this game and ditch the other one, but I don't feel like getting through the darn thing all over again. Sigh... Anyway, that's beside the point... After my sister got home my dad decided we should go out to eat, so we went downtown and met my mom at this little restaurant by YSU and had fish. Then I took my sister to see The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Which was a really good movie. Deep. Weird. Cool, as far as I'm concerned. Complicated enough for me, and I was only tempted to yell "No Frodo, throw it into the fire!" once when he was trying to steal Jim Carrey's girlfriend. I'm probably going to have some weird dreams thanks to that movie.
So, as usual I've been thinking about what the heck I'm doing with my life. And I've decided that no matter what people tell me about my job prospects and whatnot, I need to do what I want to do. What I like to do, and what I can stand doing. Obvious conclusion... yes, and we all come to it. But heck, I've gone this far on my silly whims and nothing's stopped me yet. I need to do something I could waste hours doing. And, what do I waste hours doing?? Writing, and sitting on the computer. And since those are not technically majors, we can switch that to English and Computer Science easily enough, and voila. I am on the right track here, methinks. I sort of realized this when I was thinking about how great it would be to create a universe that's so intricately complicated that I could throw so many strange interrelated stories in it and people could sit and wonder how it all would fit together in the end. Because I really like being able to do that with a story... Mmmm.... (Psst, hey... your obsession's showing. What? Where?!)
