today was a much better day. i helped some ladies in an office, and they were grateful; i saw a marching band, and a bunny. class went well and i feel marginally more intelligent than i did yesterday. tomorrow, my day looks like this:
get up
write some emails
eat breakfast
read (i was going to do that now, but instead tonight is going to be the first night this week that i haven't been up until 2 doing homework, and i have decided to save it for tomorrow. progress? stay tuned.)
buy whiskey
go to school
get cold in the library
class!
beers
BOAT CRUISE
sometimes i look at the big picture and realize that something i've been excited about for a long time is going to take up so little time and i get disappointed. i mean, i have been looking forward to this boat cruise all week - figuring out what shoes i want to wear and how to sneak booze on there, what moves i'm going to use to impress people on the dance floor, what music i hope the dj will play, how many maraschino cherries i'm going to ask the bartender for, everything. it's like the harry potter book. i theorized about it for MONTHS and it took me just over 24 hours to read it and then i was like, "oh. well that's over." the boat cruise is going to be fun and all, but i know i'm going to wake up on saturday and go "i spent a week thinking about that when i could have been reading." then: existential crisis! although if i don't regularly question my ability to achieve the goals i set for myself (getting up before 9, being on time to everything [everyone else does it, why can't i], eating fruit, like, ever, being in touch with my family, being a nice person, surviving at school), i don't do anything. so, i'm looking forward to tomorrow night, and after that i'm looking forward to eating fruit early in the morning in the library for the rest of my life.

man i wish i got to go on boat cruises in graduate school. (i'm going to spend the rest of the school year being jealous of your school experience, which sounds so much more like a movie than mine. i hope you don't mind.)
