So a couple of things to mention.
First, things have calmed down a bit and have settled into a semi-comfortable, albeit precarious, rhythm. I am still looking for a new place to live, but it isn't a paramount concern anymore.
I've donated my non-functioning car to charity and good riddance. That thing has never given me anything but trouble, and it's about time I cut my losses.
School is going alright. Although recently a professor graded an informal piece of writing I did, and only gave me a "B" He said it was a good critical, against-the -grain reading, but that perhaps it was a little too obvious. So I guess it was "obviously against the grain". Is that possible? I guess so. I think he was being unduly harsh, after all it was informal and not supposed to be a essay worthy bit of writing.
I saw the film "Garden State" and while it was a really good film, and I recommend that y'all go see it, I thought it was maybe a little too aware of its own quirkyness. Like it was trying too hard to be a strange, quirky, precious film. But I still really enjoyed it and thought it was well made. I wouldn't mind owning the DVD.
In other news, I am beginning to feel the stress of my last semester. I have a final Project to write, and although it is only 25 pages, it feels like a daunting task. This in addition to all the work I need to do to apply to grad schools.
So that's about it. I recently noticed that I need to finish my alphabet, so I'll be getting on that soon, but otherwise I hope everyone is having a good time doing whatever they are doing. Unless they're killing someone, then in that case I hope they feel like hell.
