    Question and an Unnecessary "Bah"
    This is random, but I'd like to hear what people think about audio books. Have any of you tried them? I've always been kind of interested in seeing what they're like and I think I'm going to buy one this week. They're ridiculously expensive, but it may be worth it once in a while. I feel like it's kind of looked down upon- like theyre for lazy people, or for people too dumb to read. I love reading, but I'm so slow and I get distracted so easily that I feel like they may benefit me. We shall see.
    Bah,
    Jason

    Good day.
    I had a good day today...had Italian and Brit Lit, both went smoothly. I don't know why I always have to pry myself from my mattress in order to make it to my 10:00 (am) class. I feel like, when I have to get up at 9:45 it's not only an injustice to me, but to the world. I could do great things for the world if only I was allowed to get some sleep now and then. But anyways, class was fine. But when I got out at 2, Emma and I went to McDonalds and I ate some cheeseburgers like a fat kid. Then we went to see the BodyWorld 2 exhibit at the Museum of Science. I had already seen it a couple years ago when it was in Chicago but I enjoyed it much more this time around. You have to be in the mood for that sort of thing, I guess. I was really, really disturbed by the phetuses (phetai? jk) and embryos. I'm becoming more pro-life by the day. Then later we got dinner at Uno's, which rocked because I had the Chocolate Wow for dessert. I'm going to look like Chris Farley tomorrow but I can roll with that. Literally. No, but seriously, Chris Farley rocks: "My name is Matt Foley, I'm 33 years old and I live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!" Now I'm about to do some work. Actually I'm probably going to procrastinate more. Nah, I'll do some work. Or procrastinate. K I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

    I picked my nose a couple times while writing this.
    It has been far too long since I've posted in here, which I consider both good and bad. Bad, because I miss writing. There's something about writing (when I don't have to for class) that is so effortless and comforting. I feel like I can express myself so much better when I write. When I talk I tend to screw everything up - which is why I'm contemplating giving it up completely ;). I'm a huge mushmouth. I need like, a debate team and a panel of 21 voters to determine the most accurate or likely interpretation of my words most of the time. I also miss writing in here because I feel a lot closer to those who keep a journal. It comforts me to know that, even if I don't talk to many of you individually on a day to day basis, I can still know what's going on in your life and you can know what's going on in mine. I consider it good that I haven't posted in a while because I never felt like I needed to. I stopped posting around the time I started my relationship, 8 and a half months ago, but I'd like to gradually pick it up again now. I love being able to talk to Emma about the day to day happenings in my life, and the comfort that that provides me has not stopped. Yet I feel like I'm losing touch with some of my friends that are important to me, and that has to stop (icus).

    Re-reading my posts from last year, I noticed that, while I always looked for a funny (perhaps obnoxiously, over-the-top funny) or witty approach to relaying everything, I was actually very, very depressed at the time. Moreso than I'd ever been to that point, and hopefully moreso than I ever will be again. It was probably more of an attempt to cheer myself up than make anyone else laugh, and I think it's kind of sad in retrospect.

    I can assure everyone that I'm not depressed at all anymore, thankfully. I've warmed up to Boston, mostly, since last year. I don't feel so alone; though I'm always painfully aware of the fleeting nature of happiness. In my experience, inactivity breeds depression, and frankly I can never find a moment's rest anymore. This year has been nuts. I work Mondays and Tuesdays from 3-11:30 (What? I'm there NOW, you say? How very observant of thee), I have a capella rehearsal on Sundays and Thursdays from 7-10 and at least one performance a week, I have really time-consuming requirement courses for my major, and of course trying to weave in time for Emma/friends. On top of that I've been sick/feeling physically and emotionally exhausted for most of it and I still haven't found a way around that sleep obstacle.

    That's sort of a mini update for you. I'm looking forward to TG break, as I'll be going to NY for the long weekend to see Kris w/ Emma (if ur going to be there let me know!). I'll be posting quite often, hopefully. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do me a favor and call me or IM me from time to time. I miss all of you. If you live in Boston and I haven't seen you much over the past however many months I'm sorry. Let's try to fix that.
    Talk soon.

    I don't know how to put this but...
    I can't, for the life of me, focus on academics this semester. It just started and I've already skipped classes, fallen behind in my work, and managed to get myself on a horrible sleeping schedule. All in one week! On the plus side I've partied like a mofo like....every single day and spent every last cent I have. It's dangerous finding a place that doesn't ID that is like 10 steps from your front door.

    Am I a complete idiot? READ TO FIND OUT!
    Holy shit. What a long day. Here goes...

    Woke up pretty late...11:00ish. First things first, I started packing to head back to Boston. Two mammoth suitcases, each so full they were bursting at the seams. My mom told me to go online and check what time my flight was. That's when I realized I did not have my itinerary/confirmation # - ((I had a mental flashback of me throwing it away a couple weeks ago, like a fool))... and I didnt know what airline I was flying...all I knew is the flight took off around 8 from FLL.

    So after spending time on the phone with Delta and Song airlines, and stressing as they told me they do not have a reservation for me, I realized that I saved the e-mail itinerary (YAY I'M NOT A COMPLETE IDIOT!) on AOL under SAVED MAIL on my laptop. Turns out I was flying JetBlue....(SO I'M KIND OF AN IDIOT...) So that's good news.

    Fast forward an hour. It's around 2. My mom goes on her computer to print out my itinerary (I couldn't print from my laptop). That's when I, glancing over her shoulder, realize- to my horror- the sickening extent of my stupidity. I missed my flight because it was at 8:00 AM. (O.K., NEVERMIND. I'M A COMPLETE IDIOT) I couldn't/can't believe I did that. I suppose it helps to understand, acknowledge, and respect the difference between AM and PM when scheduling flights. Well now I know...SOOOOO...IT cost an arm and a leg (both in time and in $$) to find me another flight. But we did.

    I got into Boston around 11PM and took a cab to my new dorm on Bay State. First I had to get my key from one of the larger dorming buildings- so I trucked my suitcases a couple blocks in the monsoon-like rain to my new residence. What a pleasant surprise, though! The place is pretty fucking big, and it's nice TOO! Haven't met my roommate bc he's not here yet so I'm just chillin. Also, I'm having trouble using instant messanger on this computer...that's a bitch.

    New England lost to the Broncos :(

    It was so great to hang out with all my friends when I was home! Kind of wish I could have just curled up in a ball there forever. But such is life. This should be a very very interesting semester in many ways. I'm kind of excited, I wish I had it in me to lie to you.

    THe thing is: I've only been back for a couple hours, and I'm already lonely as can be. Maybe I just need constant attention. I don't know.

    What I was GOING to post is controversial.
    I was about to write something, but I decided not to. Because it is controversial.
