I'm not going home this weekend.
(OooOOHH...THAT'S BOPPER. It takes you back doesn't it?)

I"m pretty sure I can do it.
It's just that...why bother when it's that close you know?
But really though. 2 weeks.

Last weekend was awesome however.
I haven't written in a while, but Cary put it quite nicely when he said that he was in love with our friends.
It's honestly very difficult not to be.

Maybe one day you guys'll be able to try them...if youre lucky.

I actually applied something I learned in high school yesterday.
It was almost like a revelation. I was like.."wow, I know what you were speaking of lady!" Part of me is almost tickled to send a thank you Halloween fruit basket to one of my teachers, and the other half is saving that money for reserves...but that's another problem to solve. In drama class yesterday, Ms. Sube's literature skills came into play. That horrible red book actually gave me something to use at school.

We started our Shakespeare monologues yesterday. In which, our midterm would consist of selecting a sonnet from Shakespeare and thus performing it etc. for the rest of the company. It seems simple enough, but all the junk she tells us gets a person so confused, all of it just meshes and mixes in your head til you have no idea what just happened. Anywho, she had a sonnet on the board (coincidentally, the sonnet the T.A.'s used for an example was the sonnet I performed in Ms. Sube's class for 10 extra points! CRAZY SHIT) which began "My mistresses eye are nothing like the sun..." For the sonnet, she wanted us to seperate the sonnet by "beats," kind of like the breath you take when you say like a speech, a meter. Through this, my professor Ms. Alma Martinez, spoke about iambi pentameter.

DO YOU SEE THAT FORMER LIT STUDENTS??? IAMBIC PENTAMETER.
Who'da thought that tidbit would be necessary one day.

Anyhow, she spoke about it and I got it. Haha, a short story indeed, but still the message can be made clear that maybe some shit in high school may be relevant. Maybe not all the stupid drama we created for ourselves back in the day, but actual random bits of survival learned in High School can really be made applicable to college.

It's nuts!

"That's a pretty fucked up comic strip Shaun...i wanna see it!"

It looks as if im stuck in Santa Cruz this weekend.
No bus. No alcohol. No going out. No dances.

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to cook up some fun of my own.
I FINISHED MY FIRST COLLEGE ESSAY!!!

Socrates insists (in the Crito and elsewhere) that it is never right to return injury for injury (wrong for wrong). What reasons might there be for such a view? Socrates also claims that no one (presumably including himself) disputes that wrondoers must be punished (Euthyphro, 8d). In this case, and are there others, where returning injury for injury, wrong for wrong, may be justified? In sum, is it ever right to return wrong for wrong? (Think carefully what "injury" and "wrong" might mean in this context.)

I am soooo learning!

Side note: I am so excited for my sister's cotillion. It is gonna be so fucking tight.
IT WILL BE EQUAL OR BETTER.

shit, i'm stranded.
Telling my dad, might be a bit of a problem.

Doug. doo-it-doo-it-doo-it-do-it-do-do-do

I miss Doug.
I miss a lot of cartoons, cartoons used to be fun and they had some substance. Doug had a journal, who else has journals these days, these new youngsters have fairy godparents or they're robots or are really spongebob. You can't relate anymore.
Nickalodeon (?) has weird shit on there now. BRING BACK THE OLD CARTOONS. People will watch them I swear, because cartoons suck now. It is seriously like feeding your brain with stupid.

(In the finale of Doug... did he ever end up with Patti?)

No relevance to my going home.
I just thought I'd mention it.

The most recent entry was written in dedication and honor for those who were unable to make it this weekend, and to those who wish to be informed of my college education.
But overall to those three very important and essential people...I expect to see your asses here next time.

p.s. congratulations to cary for making it into Cloud Nine and brian for getting back to service.
