Yeppers, that's true.
Happy it's the weekend, and a long one too. Just not feeling up to doing a lot of homework...but must try anyway! Oy. Don't wanna. So, yeah, just kinda hanging out, doing not much. Got to talk to roomie and J...yeah! Miss everyone...but I guess that's all right. Been doing some work for BF...Orchestra manager stuff, ie copies. ;) Went shopping, watched a couple movies with AnD last night. Good, but "The Eye" was way too creepy to get over at 1AM! And yeah, the elevator scene got me...all through the elevators in school...*shudder* Yick.

So, finishing up my reading for Writing class I was reminded why I hate Political Science and Economics...because it turns human beings into numbers. It rarely gives thought to culture, or the needs/desires of the individual. At least in the other social sciences that's a big factor. I believe in humanism, where we look at people as individuals, as meaningful human beings. But Polisci and economics just gloss right over that, as if it isn't important. And that just pisses me off. So, yes, that's why I despise PoliSci and economics...all right, all right, I know I despise too much, but this is one of those things that isn't likely to change soon, and most especially not from some stupid Writing class. Grr.

I feel like I'm back in the groove, but at the same time like it's filled with potholes. Yeah, it's just strange. Maybe I'm just suffering from reverse culture shock...or maybe it's all just about growing up. Whatever that means. I have this weird detached feeling, like all of this is familiar and 'mine' but at the same time, I can sit up on that hill over there and look out over it all, and feel like nothing is 'mine'. But maybe, I've just always felt like that...it was only a matter of time for it to happen to SUA. So many struggles to do, so many things to overcome, to challenge, and I'm already tired. But it never really ends. I guess I just have to forever keep the bright side in mind...otherwise it could overwhelm me and sweep me away. Moving forward like a frieght train...every day...
