Script Tease

The Mists of Avalon. 900 pages of glory which I need to finish by Tuesday. My life is not books, but one of my teachers seems to be out to make it so.

I don't know what it is about certain music that makes me just want to lay in some dream-like setting and just listen for hours upon hours. I know why certain things such as lyrics and rhythm may appeal to people, but when I listen to something, I want it to tell a story without saying anything. I guess that is why the above song and this one drop me in such an amazing setting.

There really hasn't been any mystery regarding my life for the past three weeks. I'm already overwhelmed with the amount of work I need to do and go home to work every goddamn saturday. I applied for several jobs on campus and managed to get zilch in return, but I'm still hoping they find a replacement for me at home because it would be nice to stay here, for you know, one weekend at least.

At any rate, Tuesdays are quite the tiring days. I get up at 7:00 am and attend class non stop from 9 till about 8:30. I've got three 30 minute breaks here and there, but they are hardly noteworthy. Tuesdays are really mondays in disguise; my calendar loves to mock me. The price is hefty, but the return is one 8:00 am class on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. Not bad at all. The political science courses I'm taking here at UCONN are miserable though. To illustrate, I give you the following diagram:
These are before and after pictures, the left being me before class at 7 am and the right five minutes into the first political science class. Seriously, do any of you fantasize about stabbing yourself in the neck with your sleek, b.i.c pen? I think it's a little too early in the semester for this sort of crap.

Oh, and the same thing happens when I read Stephen Crane. I told my professor to go stand out in the hallway and think about what he said when announcing how great Crane is. If I wanted to pay for a story that is essentially someone's diary, i'll turn to my space. The horrid grammar and drama, while less thought provoking provides more entertainment (albeit, a bit more depressing).

I also managed to rearrange my room and if you wish, pictures are available here. My photobucket account is also a mess...so don't be lookin' around thar. At any rate, I'm pleased with the arrangement. It'll hopefully make life a bit easier.

I'm somewhat loaded as of late with work, but if anyone on campus wants to grab a bite or check a film, give me a ring. I hope this semester isn't as hermetic as it has been so far.
