I'm having such a good day!!! I actually got 7 hours of sleep last night which is more than I've gotten in two weeks. I woke up without being groggy, had a nice breakfast with my roommate, and survived biology without any problems. Redfern sucked though. There was a new nurse there and she gave me the shot wrong. My whole arm still hurts, so fencing tonight ought to be rough. Speaking of fencing, my elbow is killing me and has a massive purple bruise on it from being low lined last night. Definetly not cool. I took the career assesment test at Hendrix today. I don't get the results back until next week though. I snuck a peak at it and it looks like I'm almost 50-50 on social work and business. Go figure. I tried to take a nap today, didn't work. So I crawled off my loft, wrapped myself in a blanket and stared at the computer in a vain attempt to gain motivation to do my homework when there was a knock upon my door. "Come in" I called, assuming it was my roommate or one of the people off my floor, but to my surprise it wasn't. It was Doug and Josh from DCF! They were visiting Jared to see his new subwolfer and stopped in to see Tara and I while they were here. We talked for awhile, which was fun. Seeing people, especially people I don't normall see more than three times a day really really makes me happy no matter how bad my day's been. I love people. They ran out of Chai at the latte place again!!! But I'm getting to know the workers there. Sad in a way, but fun. I'm rambling, can you tell? I'm just in too good of a mood not to ramble. Dropping calculus was definetly a good idea. Now I have time to tutor hispanic kids, be in a bible study, fence, be in LTG, and DCF without feeling too stressed. I also actually have time to do my homework. I'm taking Russin and Philosophy next semester!! I'm soo excited. I'm taking dance lessons too. I'll have 18 hours, but it shouldn't be too bad.
I started reading Notes From Underground today by Dostoevsky (for those of you who don't know, he is my favorite author). It's really good!!!
" Tell me this: why did it happen that at the very, yes, at the very moment when I was most capable of recognizing every refinement of 'all the sublime and beautiful,' as we used to say at one time, I would, as though purposely, not only feel but do such hideous things, such that - well, in short, such as everyone probably does but which, as though purposely occured to me at the very time when I was most conscious that they ought not to be done. The more conscious I was of goodness, and of all that 'sublime and beautiful', the more deeply I sank into my mire and the more capable I became of sinking into it completely."
The quote gets better as it goes on, but I'll spare you the long read and not assume everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. Why do I like Dostoesky? He mixes philosophy, ethical debates and social debates in with a good story. As my English teach would say: His writing is rich. Everything in it is full of meaning and yet fun to read.
Speaking of philosophy, I have psych reading to do.
Wait!! I forgot!! I'm gonna try to bring some people trail riding in the mountains before fall ends. Probably next Sunday. I'm excited!! I love bringing people riding and miss it sooo much!!
