Judi +_+'s Journal I went over to written journals awhile ago, plus I had no internet access all summer in Yellowstone, but I thought this would be useful to give peoples my new info for this school year. Michigan State University 562 McDonel East East Lansing, MI 48825 517 353 1203 =) "Someone will invite you to a Karaoke party." Current mood: Taking an organic chem final right after an anthropology essay final is not advised. It may cause severe mental stress. Cause I just said that something was "icky icky poo poo" Oh well, 4 down and 2 to go! Current mood: Current music: Sigur Ros. I don't understand it. People who have spent the entire semester not putting any effort into schoolwork are suddenly putting in hours and hours right before finals? Why? It seems so silly. Either apply yourself entirely, throughout the whole semester, or don't at all. All this stressing out, all this frenzy, it seems so silly to me. What does it matter how well you will do on your chemistry exam? You will still live and die, just like everyone else. In fact, 10 years from now, you probably won't remember whether you passed or failed your exam. Yes, there is the argument that maybe you won't get into (med school/grad school/whatever), but when you think about it, what difference does -that- really make? It may be what you want to do, but, following that path, can you be sure that any other path would not be just as good for you? Or better? Perhaps you end up on another road that's even better. You don't really know. Maybe, even, it doesn't matter what kind of career you follow, because your life would end up the same way anyway. And really it will. Everyone lives and everyone dies. I'm not being pessimistic and saying that life is pointless because we all die. But I don't understand the great fuss that people make about what road they take to get to that end. I go to class because, well, I actually want to learn. I want to know everything. I know how silly that is, but that's what I want to do, so I learn. But the people that don't want to learn anything, put everything off and then try to cram every bit of information in right before the exam, just so they can get a good grade.... I'm sorry, but that is not the point of college. It's not an obstacle to get through. It's a place where you can pick up some valuable information that could potentially enrich your life. I don't know, maybe it's just the craze of everything going on at once, school ending and there being 10 days until I leave for Yellowstone, but it seems like the whole world has gone mad! "You are domestically inclined and will be happily married." I don't know anyone who is -less- domestically inclined and I sure as hell do not want to get married! It reminds me of Sacraments at DC. Mr. Bloomfield was giving an example to the class and he was like, "When Judi gets married," and I gave him a look, and he's like, "IF she gets married," Current mood: Current music: Mogwai - Come On Die Young. 'It's May, it's May, the lusty month of May, That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray. It's here, it's here, that shocking time of year, When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear. It's May, oh it's May, That gorgeous holiday, When every maiden itches for fun, Wholesome or un- It's mad, oh it's gay, Depraved in every way. Those dreary vows that everyone takes, Everyone breaks, Everyone makes divine mistakes, The lusty month of May. It's May, oh it's May, Lusty month of May. That jolly month when everyone throws self control away. It's time, it's time, to do A wretched thing or two, And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue. It's May, It's May, The month of "Yes, you may." A time for every frivolous whim, Proper or im- It's wild, it's wild, it's gay, A libelous display. The birds and bees with all of their vast, Amorous past Gaze at the human race aghast, The lusty month of May!" Camelot soundtrack Current mood: squirrely. Current music: Soundtrack to Camelot. "perspicacious" Pronunciation: "p&r-sp&-'kA-sh&s Function: adjective Etymology: Latin perspicac-, perspicax, from perspicere Date: 1640 : of acute mental vision or discernment : KEEN from http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictiona Current mood: Current music: Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows. For whoever wants to know, I did the triathlon in 3 hours and 7 mins. It was 93 degrees in Memphis, but I managed to finish without passing out (many people went to the hospital or the first aid tent). However, despite putting on sun block that was SPF 30 and supposedly waterproof and sweat proof, I got burned so bad that the skin on my shoulder was actually blistering. So that part kind of sucked. But it was a fun road trip and I did my first real triathlon! Current mood: Current music: BNL. Cross your fingers for me, cause tomorrow will be my first olympic distance triathlon! Current mood: I haven't updated very much because I've been keeping a written journal instead. But in the book I'm reading ("Les Mandarins" by de Beauvoir) there's been some parts that made me really think and I thought I'd share one: Henri smiled. "You know how it is when you write." "Yes," said Julien, "you have to lie to avoid telling the truth." Current mood: Current music: At the Drive-In : Relationship of Command. |
