What a day, what a motherfuckin’ day lol.

Okay, today wasn’t that bad, but I was stressing a lot for a week that includes no midterms or quizzes. I had a skills check off, assessment and nutrition hw, and an assessment presentation to prepare for. Passed my skills check off, BS’ed my assessment and nutrition hw, and I feel for the most part prepared for my presentation tomorrow. Good to know I can still get it in when I need to lol. 

My grandma also left for the Philippines tonight. I won’t be seeing her for over two months and I’m really going to miss her. I’m going back to the Philippines for the first time since we went back when my grandpa passed away 8 years ago. We’re leaving the day after Christmas and not coming back until January 20. It honestly doesn’t feel like it was that long ago, the last time we went to the PI, but man it really has been 8 years. Scary how quickly time passes…

But it’s so hard to balance your time with people in your life right now and people who are from your past… who you really want to be in your future too. If that makes sense. I definitely wouldn’t want my friends whom I don’t always keep in touch with to feel like I don’t want to be a part of their life. Because I do. Sometimes I just don’t have the time to.

^ This.

You know what drives me crazy? All these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But what good is saved time if nobody uses it? It just turns into more busy work. I mean I never hear anybody say, ‘you know with the time I’ve saved by using my word processor, I’m going to go to a Zen monastery and hang out.’
But what is the sense in forever speculating what might have happened had such and such a moment turned out differently? One could presumably drive oneself to distraction in this way. In any case, while it is all very well to talk of ‘turning points’, one can surely only recognize such moments in retrospect. Naturally, when one looks back on such instances today, they may indeed take the appearance of being crucial, precious moments in one’s life; but of course, at the time, this was not the impression one had. Rather, it was as though one had available a never-ending number of days, months, years in which to sort out the vagaries of one’s relationship; an infinite number of further opportunities in which to remedy the effect of this or that misunderstanding. There was surely nothing to indicate at the time that such evidently small incidents would render whole dreams forever irredeemable.
Summer Vacation!

You know what the best part about summer vacation is? Getting to all the stuff you put off until you “had more time,” it’s awesome! In two days I’ve watched two movies that I hadn’t seen before (Dog Day Afternoon and Cube), two movies I’ve seen, bought, but haven’t watched again since buying (Moon and The A-Team), kept reading one manga series (Full Metal Alchemist), and I’ve already read one book (John Green’s Paper Towns) and I’ve started on another (The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell). And I still have about 40 DVD’s/Blu-rays of movies I haven’t seen yet, about 40 DVD’s/Blu-rays of movies I’ve seen before, bought, but haven’t watched yet, and about 20 more books I want to read. Not to mention there are a ton of movies that are coming out in theaters that I want to watch as well. And I’m waiting for some people to finish up finals this week so we start kicking it more often.  The abundance of time now that school is out is ASTRONOMICAL. I’m seriously in geek heaven taking in all these different mediums of art and entertainment. I LOVE IT!
