Commuter Blues

Took a break from my overload of homework (apparently I had to read FOUR books of The Odyssey over the weekend. Do you know how many pages that is!?) so I can blog.

Today's topic: commuterness.

Teachers

It was another day at college. As I walked into class and took my seat, I looked at the expressions of some of those around me. They looked very unexcited.

And I guess who wouldn't be? After all, this is a required core class. It's not like most people even wanted to be here. Or even at school in general. They just woke up, put on a hoodie, and schlepped themselves to class. And now they are here, lifeless forms sitting at desks that remind me of high school. Or even vaguely like--dare I say it--my middle school years.

What's In a Name?

I remember sitting there in his dorm, watching him play guitar. He wasn't Mystery Guitar Man, by any means (he's of youtube fame), but this guy did have some skill. I remember wishing my boyfriend could play guitar (but my boyfriend has other talents).

"I deserve to be treated like a princess."

And guess what? I do think all girls should be treated like a princess. But first, I need to define what I think a real princess is:

To Simply Believe...

Remember when you were a kid how easy it was to believe in Santa Claus? Or the tooth fairy?

None of us were smart enough to figure out that a man that large could not possibly fit down our chimney.

Why can't I read anymore!?

If you look at my profile, you'll see that listed under my hobbies is reading.

And I do love reading. I like reading magazine articles, and my school newspaper (The Quadrangle) and I like reading other people's writing when I go through the submissions for Manhattan Magazine.

That said, I find it very difficult these days for me to sit down and casually read a novel.

Life in the "Blah" Zone

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

(When I say "everyone" that most likely would mean--what--one person?)

Anyway.
