Day 2 of my learning how to be a student again and not get killed.

Here's what I've been up to.
My reading so far is deathly...Emerson has too many meanings and it really makes interpretting his "nature" such a daunting task! I also have a lot of political science reading to do. My mind is slowly melting but I think it'll be okay. Maybe if i took some kind of sedative...a chill pill...

Wow, someone in this dorm is smoking up...it goes through the circulation...and you can get high if you stand over your vent. My room reeks of pot...and I don't smoke. It's ironic, don't you think?

I watched Amelie last night, what a great movie! I downloaded the soundtrack tonight while I was reading Emerson and I am just a happy kid listening to it. It's so French and cute...wow, I sound like a woman.

There was a thunderstorm when i went to sleep and I woke up five hours later and there was still a thunderstorm going on. I thought I hadn't slept at all and started to think that I was going crazy. Each clap of thunder was making me go crazy because it chimed that I was not sleeping. I go crazy sometimes.

Jesse and I are starting to cook more of our meals together...I made him hamburger helper tonight...with cheddar cheese sauce. We past the Burrito stand on our way to the supermarket...and that looked really good too. Food is my arch nemesis and I must destroy it!

I miss Pete...everything makes me think about him...hearing a trumpet, reading a book, listening to Ben Folds or hearing the theme from a summer place...stupid things that shouldn't make me think of Pete. I'm just lonely I think...and I hate being lonely. I need a stable shoulder to cry on. Alas, I think Pete will have to be the new Messiah.

I should get back to reading Debating Democracy, Acheson, We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War history, Major Problems in American Foreign Relations, Huck Finn, and The Selected Works of Emerson....YAY!
