I'm listening to the new white stripes album and eating a forbidden scone in the computer lab. The lad next to me keeps me evil looks but i don't care so much. He looks mean anyways.

So, i went to a club last nite because if u said u were with the sailing team, you could get in for free and it stays open later than the pubs. It was more crowded than it is on the weekends--its amazing. I was almost sick at realzied how much of my life i've spent working. Because, it's great that i have this solid foundation of learning--that i can spout off facts about Imperial Russian History and know the sin of a 60 degree angle...but for what? Is that really going to make me happiest in the end? I was with my friend Bre who goes to Brown and both of us were just coming down from being a bit tipsy and totally speechless. Spain has their siesta, the irish have their free flowing whiskey and we have...501k plans.

Earlier in the evning i went to this storytelling session which turned out to be fairly leftest propoganda---the guy was talking about how he is betting on the evolution of dolphins for our planet's future...and kept saying how, life is abotu WE, not us and them--animals are WE, blue, yellow, purple, white, black people--WE. And, i just wasn't in the mood. Not that that's an excuse--no one is ever in the mood for social change i suppose--but so WHAT i wanted to ask???He kept insisting that it was our generation that needed to break out from the repition of our elders and remake the world. OKAY. HOW, BUDDY? People say that they hate when people point out whats wrong without offering to make it better--and it was the same thing. I mean, if he ended and talked about recycling, energy efficiency okay but so vague and so full of undirected emotion...On that note of recylcing--in supermarkets, they charge u for bags here, but all the cookies are individually wrapped and there is no decent recycling program. Seems silly.

Thursdays are supposed to be my writing days but i haven't written a lick yet...bad bad me.

I'm gg try.

love love
