Not Sleeping Yet

Ello friends. Today was quite the exciting day--I bought lamp for my living room: let there be light (and it IS good), matching blue pillows for my couch, and a new electric can opener for my lack of hand. I am now poor, but happy. I have cleaning checks tomorrow so I used the lights to see every particle of dust in my living room. I didn't clean it all mind you, but don't worry, you unplug the lamps and the dust disappears--they're magic lamps!

So I can't sleep. Go figure, I can never sleep. So i thought I would speak to my fan club, yes, that would be you. So as I was walking from my D&C class in the Eyring Science Center to my Pl Sc class in the SWKT I heard this girl say, "that was way fun." Now let's just think about this for a minute...way fun? WAY fun? What exactly would qualify something to be "way" fun? It would probably be under the same category as way dumb, or way crazy. You would think that the actual adjective would be enough to descirbe it, since as we all know "fun" implies a sense of well-liking and immense amusement, correct? So what's with the "way"? The world will never know, maybe one day we'll find out, and when that day comes I'll be WAY EXCITED! (I just threw up a little in my mouth).

So my final class of the day is on the seventh floor of the SWKT in a conference room (with an oval table--you have my permission to be WAY jealous). We sit in our apparent ivory tower and philosophize for an hour and fifteen minutes--on the meaning of life of course. I sit across from this girl. I don't know her name. But she constantly looks like she's going to cry. I mean really she has the face of a person who at any minute in the class will break down into an emotional wreck of despair and misery. It's rather fascinating to watch (no wonder I'm not understanding the actual subject matter). After being enrolled in this class for over two weeks now, I have decided this is her serious thinking face--forehead wrinkled, intense eyes, slight frown. This is a person who is intense, deep, and meaningful thought. And here I was thinking she's going to have a mental breakdown. This girl is the epitome of all great philosophers--Plato, Socrates, Hobbes, Locke....This is how they looked when they began to philosophize. I wonder how I look in that class...?

So apparently Heath Ledger died today. It really goes to show: life sucks then you die. RIP you beautiful Australian. Lesson of the day: try not to OD on sleeping pills...that's a bit harsh, Heath don't smite me. You know I love you.

Off to bed.
