03/22/2005: "It's... Tuesday!"

Current Sounds: Stairway to Heaven
Currently Feeling: That going to school won't be fun today.

Paper's done, homework's in.. need to study for my test that'll be later today within the next few hours (will probably do it while in my first class).

Not really much going on right now. Trying to stay awake while I go through the morning routine of getting my stuff ready for classes for the day. Hopefully today will be cut short due to the test. Regardless of what's happening, I have a feeling I'll be raiding the Pepsi/Mountain Dew machine early in the day to see what sort of goodness it has to offer (which is, shockingly enough, usually Pepsi products). If I have time, I really should grab breakfast on my way out the door.. though I've been saying this the entire semester and haven't so far, so I highly doubt I actually will. But it's still good to at least think I might do it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish "Gatekeepers" before spring break ended. I usually can't get enough time together to sit and watch a few hours of anime in one sitting.. but I really do hope I can finish the series soon. It just feels a bit odd to have it sitting around with so little left and not finishing it. Though I do notice that I almost intentionally do that with books sometimes. As it gets closer and closer to the end of the book, I'm more and more hesitant to read it. In some part of my mind, I really don't want the book to end. I guess in some way, I've become attached to the characters, their lives, and what's going on. To finish the book means that this is over forever (as I rarely reread a book. I have a rather decent memory, so rereading a book just doesn't hold much appeal. I know what's happening next). Sure, it's just a book with people and events that don't exist.. but.. it still feels like more. Kinda sad, I suppose. Obviously, I rarely have this problem with the non-fictional texts I'm prone to reading (cultural studies, history books, etc). I don't think this is what's happening with "Gatekeepers". I just don't have the time to get to it. But it's still an interesting fact all the same.

Hmm.. I need to get going right about now.

Anyway, just to clear up some stuff.. I guess I'm not so worried about things with going to Japan right now. I'm not really sure why I'm not worried (as absolutely nothing's changed).. but I'm not. Maybe it'll come back. Who knows.

I'll write sometime later..!
