Entry: why is the 'n' silent in "autumn"? Tuesday, October 12, 2004



Feeling:  chaotic
Craving: nothing
Music of choice: "float on"-modest mouse



They need to make days longer. Screw daylight savings-I need more than 24 hours in a day as it is. (Yes, I do realize that by turning the clock back an hour we do not lose an hour you incompetant fool) Lately I just feel so overwhelmed with everything. Not in a bad way necessarily-I just find that I'm so busy with school that I don't have time to do anything for myself. Every weekend basically consists of homework, and going out. The time that I had during the summer to paint my nails when I felt like, or go for a run or even clean my room is gone until next summer. And any break that I do get from schedule I use to just relax, or sometimes, if it's really bad (I think my English teacher would kill me if she saw that I used the word it-you see how my school life is slowly taking over everything I do?? I can't even talk normally without relating it to school. Again with the it. Dear god) Right now, I should be concentrating on about 1/10 of the homework I have because I won't be able to work on it anytime after 5. (5-5:30: dinner>6-8: rehearsal>8-shower>9-One Tree Hill) Looking @ that list, maybe I need to reprioritize. Is reprioritize a word? I have begun to put fun before work already-for instance, yesterday I went out when I should have stayed home and done homework. Doing homework would have been the wise, studious choice. But instead I rushed through 20 pages of notes from 10-1130 and then went to the mall with my boys. Not to say I regret this decision-yesterday I had my first experience at Hooter's. ;-P I knew how to manage my work though-I was done with it by 1030 that night, which probably is when I would have ended up going to bed anyway, work or not.


Aside from feeling in over my head, things are pretty alright. I'd even go out on a limb to say that they're quite good. Working hard with the play-Antigone, if I didn't mention. We put it on in less than a month...gonna be a time crunch for sure, but I think we can pull it off. Between that and school, each weekend has been packed with going out and doing all those "fall-y" activities that everyone recalls doing 20 years later as a "fall memory." I love this weather. I wish I could bottle it up. I'm quite undecided whether I like summer or fall better. I love the freedom and careless days of summer-and "those summer nights" of course. But fall just has such a sense of...something. You can't pinpoint it, but it's there. There's just not much that compares to a sunny fall afternoon....I think it's a natural aphrodesiac. Mmmm lovely.
