School. :o)I am here at Clark right this minute; I've planted myself into an extremely cushy chair on the upper floor of Gaiser....my head hurts and my throat burns, but Emiliana Torrini and coffee are helping me out. Haha, I updated my iTunes and was pleased to discover that if I look closely, I can listen to my neighbors' music as well as my own. I know there is a way to rip it off em', but I still hafta figure that out. Mwa-haha, illegal music. This one kid had some good tastes: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dropkick Murphy's, Beck, the Gorillaz, U2, the Nightmare before Christmas soundtrack, and a bunch more. I wish I could go find that person and tell them I appreciate their fine taste. :oD Ah well, it's fun to think about.

I keep seeing so many people from my past here at Clark, all the way back from elementary school, it's crazy. Flashbacks galore. Blah, I feel pretty crummy. I got stuck in traffic on I5 this morning for about 1/2 an hour, making me 1/2 an hour late for my first and most looked-forward to class, French, and then I couldn't find a parking spot. That took another half hour. So by the time I found one, there were 2 minutes left in my class and I managed to grab a syllabus and run to my next course. *sigh!* I don't want stress! I already felt pretty gross this morning, and then I had to drive for 2 hours...yuck. But I made it here in the end, so it's ok.

My math class is freaking easy, I think I'm going to ace Pre-Algebra, lol. I should hope so, I mean, I did get to Algebra 2 in high-school, how bad can college prerequisites be? I suppose I will just find out. I really like my English Composition teacher, Jim Finley, so far. He has a sense of humor and an Irish name---he's good in my book. Hope he can teach as well as he can entertain.

I'm starting to really enjoy being my age. I'm beginning to figure certain things out, like whether or not I care what people think, and whether or not I will stand for what I believe in. In English today, we talked about the term "persona." It means a sort of personality, or a face a person puts on. In certain places and situations we all have different personae. Finley brought the point up that when we are around certain people, we tend to say or not say certain things, and it isn't because we are hypocrites, but more because we have to find a system that cooperates with our personal relationships. I really liked to hear that opinion. I've been thinking about that kind of thing a lot lately. I feel sometimes like I'm being hypocritical or even dishonest around certain people, when really I am just using a certain persona with them. I can't be the same crazy me around everyone.....I don't change myself completely by any means; I will always be myself. But I do watch how I talk around certain people. I don't know, maybe I am wrong. I don't lie, but I figure that some subjects in conversation are best left alone if they may be. If I don't have to bring it up, then why should I? Anyway. The motions of balancing my life out are slowly but surely revealing their wild system to me, and I like the way it feels.

Well, I have to go use the ladies' room, nature calls. ;oD So I am out for now, but I hope everyone else who began school today or before today is enjoying it, let me know how everything's going! Peace and love all.

Wow. Here I am. I am sitting here on a couch in my dark and lonely tv room, listening to the mechanical whirr of the refrigerator. My dog died yesterday. We got a new dog yesterday. I got this laptop 2 days ago. Life is pretty funky for me right now, and this first entry is too. I will write a more interesting and happy journal tomorrow I expect, but for now my friends, over and out!

For the Love of Limely
