Gordon Lightfoot, Station Master
Yay Mondays. Oh how they fill me with joy. Wented to comm, had angsty thoughts about Ian for no good reason. Yay my brain. But I don't think I missed much. We watched some boring speech by Clinton about minorities and the economy. Yee hah. I have the hardest time paying attention to that prof.
Then I remembered that I was supposed to have an appointment with Dale at 11:00. I had a class until 11:20. Urgh. So I was a wee bit late. Then I had lunch. I had to eat quickly. I also just found myself wanting to get out of there. It wasn't a good morning. I was feeling bad and twitchy. So I went back to my room and listened to Gordon Lightfoot for a bit before CS. I was a bit late to that class because of it, actually. But I felt a bit better.
I almost fell asleep in CS because I was pretty tired, but other than that it went well. It all makes sense, more or less. It's a fairly intersting class. But I'm pretty sure that the average journal reader really doesn't give a damn about how to write for loops in assembly code, so I'll shut up now.
Came back to my room and took a nap. I needed one. Urgh. Then I listened to Gordon Lightfoot some more, and went to go meet with last term's CS prof to work on making up an incomplete from that class. Yay me.
Then 'twas time for choir. Today is the all women's group. It went fairly well, I suppose. I odn't know. Jessica wasn't there today, and some of the rest of the alto section is fairly inexperienced. They're all nice girls, but I wish that I was around a few people who were a lot more confident than I am so I could just follow them more of the time. I've been in choirs over half of my life, so I have more experience than a lot of the people in that group. Not all of them, though. But there are several musicians in there who are predominantly focusing on another instrument, and even a few people who just decided to pick up choir in college with no real previous muscial background. So I'm probably one of the more chorally experienced altos. I need to work some more on some stuff though. Maybe I'll take voice lessons fairly soon.
Anyway, then I came back to the dorms and ended up having a long rambling conversation with Jeff, Alice and Chris (D.) about nothing much in particular. Then I went home, grabbed my laundry and went to Wendy's for dinner. Then I came back to the dorms and started my philosophy homework. Alice and Chris were in the room, so they kept me from getting much done. it took me several hours to read 60 pages. They're my friends and I enjoy spending time with them, but today was one of those days when I wished I had my own room.
Then I took off to Jesse's room for an hour or so, in case they wanted to talk privately. Also because I was getting a bit fidgety. Colin (who rooms with Jesse) was reading old Red Meat cartoons aloud, so that was fun. Nick was in there listening, as was someone else, probably Brendan but I've forgotten now. I talked with all of them for about an hour. Jesse's most recent relationship just ended, so we talked about that for a bit. It's complicated, and I don't really understand. Something about street culture that was just a bit disconnected from my world. (He was dating a street kid.) Then I came back to my room, and Sean was online, so I talked to him for the first time in several days. That was nice. We didn't really talk about much, but it's nice to know that he's doing ok up there. I suppose it's just that I have no way of knowing if he's ok unless he gets in touch with me, so it's easier for me to worry about him than about some of my other friends. So anyway, I'm glad he was online tonight.
