Short thoughts

  • Current oldies obsession: “To Know Him Is to Love Him” — Teddy Bears.
  • Finished grading finals. It’s amazing how quickly I forget how painful it is to spend ~20 hours on such a monotonous task.
  • Speaking of how quickly I forget, went to get McDonald’s breakfast, which did not sit well in stomach.
  • Evidently a week is not complete for me unless I take a ballet class that’s way above my abilities. I tried out the intermediate class and it was pretty much a massacre, yet fun in that sense that doesn’t really make sense.
  • It’s going to be another boring spring break. I really have no idea where to go or what to do. I guess I can keep watching Highlander: The Animated Series. It’s kind of nice that all these old cartoons I used to watch are now on DVD.
  • I also need to figure out some vacation plans for post-graduation and pre-work. Assuming Scandinavia doesn’t work out, does anyone want to take a 2-week transcontinental train trip?

Things on my mind

  • Finals week approaches. This quarter went by rather quickly. I’m a little sad that the back-to-back ballet classes are over. I hope that tp girl will be taking intermediate ballet next quarter. Also, I need to figure out what class(es) to take next quarter, as well.
  • Not the most opportune time to get a severe bout of lovesickness, though perhaps there never is. It is crippling my ability to study; good thing I only have one final.
  • Senioritis version 3 also set in rather quickly after finding a job. I don’t think I gained much of any intellectual momentum this quarter, which made doing homework and taking tests rather laborious.
  • Just spent 2 hours listening to songs by Lesley Gore. She’s a pretty good singer. “You Don’t Own Me” is inching up the play count list.
  • I also spent 3 hours trying to read Ulysses and managed to only read 15 pages. After roughly 3 years, I’m halfway through the book. There are really delicious phrases and sentences in it, but for the life of me I can’t seem to focus on reading it for any extended period of time.
