10:05am :: I'm getting sick of eating like I am. Today it's Lucky Charms, a Lean Pocket and a bag of Lay's. I need to steal away and get back into control. But not now. I have a test on Saturday in OM, which surprised me. I need to check the syllabi more for my classes, especially when I don't go very often. Too much to do, definitely. Missed band practice last night because of OM homework due today. Monday went to a Mediterranean restaurant on Westheimer with Nadia. I had wanted to go on Friday (I just really felt like going somewhere Friday) but she wanted to eat at home. I waited for them in the parking lot for like 30 min. It was actually really cool though, because it was raining hard. Something very nice about sitting in your car during a rainstorm listening to music. Saw the sunset at AH yesterday. Very nice, got some pictures. Work sucks today, I don't want to do anything, so I'll do very little. Supposed to meet with the group again tonight, but I'd like to get out of it. I want frozen pizza tonight. Also Nadia wants to come by at 4 and take pictures. Who knows though, I guess she's less flaky than I take her for.

3:14pm :: Just met with the Behavioral Finance group. Not a big deal, the paper isn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. We were supposed to meet at 12:30, one showed up about 3. Anyway, band practice was changed to 5. I just realized that my watch said it was 4, so I decided to stay here a little longer because it would have been one hour, but it's not. God damn daylight savings! Why does this country have to be so centered on status quo and tradition to the point where we so often fail to discard a social habit despite its obvious emerging futility or just outright inappropriateness. I guess it's just a function of the automatic reaction of ignoring anomalies, since all of these things that don't work in our culture were once just anomalies. (Religion anyone?) Or how about a rant? Well, it's too late to go back home, so I'll just stick around and work on the highways pages. I compromised on this site and split the initial front page javascript into one for IE-compliant or Gecko or NS 4. If you can follow.

12:25pm:: Decided to come in today, mostly because I had nothing to do at home. Spent like half an hour working on this site trying to get the damn scrollbars turned off in Mozilla, and then I read a post somewhere that you couldn't do it. What a bunch of bullshit. But now this site has scrollbars throughout. Oh well, at least I learned something. Band practice is Sunday for a change, so I will go to The Woodlands today, leaving about 2:30 or 3. I'm going to try to meet up with the Behavioral Finance gang tomorrow, because it turns that the paper is due next week instead of 2 weeks. Dylan called me last night as I was sitting around drinking Fosters, asking me what I was doing. I didn't really want to explain myself, so I told him I was doing a school project. (I have to maintain the idea that I'm studious to him) The rain is nice, I must say. I woke up this morning about 9 with my window open as the cool wet breeze blew in from the storm outside. It's just very relaxing. I'm glad I'll get to drive today, and I might take a different route just to get a little more out of the drive (maybe up 249 to 2978?). btw, the show Justice League on Cartoon Network sucks ass. I had to watch it a few weeks ago with Dylan and I'm reminded of how lame it is everytime I see a mention of it on CN.

11:45am:: Sitting at work again. Nothing really to do, or at least nothing I'd like to do. Gloria Record show was alright. They rocked out some of their more ballad Start Here stuff, which was somewhat upsetting, and they played a different version of Lull in Traffic for a closer. I saw someone I knew there, and having gone with Tyler, he insisted we go to the back porch where the rest of the ultra-indie kids were heading. Mary Jane's is so bad for that. I just want to slap some of those people around sometimes, *smack, smack smack*, or at least make some of them realize how hollow any kind of social genre is. Anyway, I finally was able to buy Mogwai - Kicking a Dead Pig! It came down to about $9 with shipping on half.com. Should be here soon along with my NM topo map. The openers for Gloria Record were really cool too and I want to get their CD too, the Radar Brothers. It's still behind Clarity I guess, and it will never EVER be put up used on line since few people have even heard of these guys, but I'd like to get it soon all the same. My Behavioral Finance group did not meet, but one of the guys called me. I'm tired of this semester. Course listings for Spring were released today and I got a chance to write down what I'm going to take. It's exciting that I'll be able to, for the first time, get everything that I want since I'm going to be first. What am I taking?
Management Training and Career Development
International Cross-Cultural Negotiations
Managerial Communication
International Marketing
I still need to go talk to a CLASS advisor to make sure my Anthro of Religion class can be double-counted into my Chinese minor, but I'm sure that I won't be a problem. Maybe Monday or something.

This is the first entry, and hopefully will not be the last. I've never been good at keeping up with these damn things, but I'm desperate to keep record right now. I realized a couple of weeks ago about how lucky I am to still be in this position; young. I think it's funny that we spend the better part of our childhood and adolescence trying to be older, but when actually get older, we regret losing our youths. I'm at kind of a crossroads point. College ends next semester for me, and unless I'm real careful, I could wind up hooked onto some kind of expected fate. Anyway, enough of that.

8am :: Today I'm planning to visit both of my MW classes to soak in the best of my value-meal education. I like both of these classes, but I never go because I'd rather be working on something, like this. Should be a fairly dull day, I'll leave about 3pm, maybe write more a little later. I'm supposed to meet up with this Behavioral Finance class group later today, and then Gloria Record is tonight. Hopefully I won't stay up too late. I ended up going to sleep at like 12:30 last night with a full stomach. That does weird shit to your dreams. I don't remember what I dreamed, but I woke up thinking that a group of people had engineered some way to trick my alarm clock, and me, thus making me wake up earlier. I got here around 7:15. The sky was bleak, unlit. It's strange to see the movement of people under a sky like that. I wish I could see the ocean today.
