optimism

I'm trying to be more optimistic and have an overall brighter outlook on life. So far, it sucks... I'm kidding! I just started recently, so we'll see how it goes. It's hard to do, because I'm tired a lot of the time, and that doesn't translate into "cheery" very well.

- I got to class and it was canceled, which basically means I have a four and a half hour break until my next class. I thought about going home, but my next professor randomly takes attendance, and if you miss, you lose 5% of your total grade. It's crazy, but I bet it works.

- 24 has started again, and it's one of those shows that I'm never sure if I want to start watching each season. They kill characters off for fun, and sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's not. SPOILER: stop reading if you missed the premiere.

K, you read this, it's your own fault. They had Jack kill Curtis, and a nuke went off in Los Angeles. Now, certainly, no good conservative would give a rip about a nuke taking out most of California, but Curtis was cool, and it's weird that he went out in the fourth hour. Then again, if they don't show a coffin, you never know. Last we saw him, he looked unconscious after taking a bullet to the throat. But I don't think the marshal guy from Prison Break is dead, either, and he also took a bullet.

I told my brother I was feeling pressure to write (even though no one is pressuring me) and he said if I ever start getting paid for it, that would be real pressure. I'm very nervous now.

- I used to like following politics, but everything is such a mess, and if most Americans can live healthy, productive lives by being apathetic, than so can I, by crackles.

- I'm at the library and there are these tours going on for in-coming freshmen and stuff. I always think it would be fun to walk by them and scream "RUN AWAY!" or "get out while you can!" or "soylent green is people!" but I never do. I'll graduate with that regret, no doubt.
