Day 90

Ow... my head... seriously.
I didn't get much sleep last night.







I went to bed at my usual time (around midnight), no big deal.
But I was up 2-3 hours later hacking up a lung or coughing my brains out.
Your choice.
Anyway, I'm apparently REALLY allergic to something in my room, cause I've been coughing ceaselessly at night. This is the first time it kept me up. I haven't had energy all day. I almost hit another car on the way home from school cause my depth perception was trashed. I tried napping, but I had work, so it was somewhat futile. The rest of the day cruised by, but I am definitely getting an early sleep tonight.

I just learned finals are next week for the semester. Or at least begin next week.
My freshman year of college can be summed up as one long, yet thoroughly resounding screw up. I wasn't done with high school. I didn't learn enough, I wasn't prepared for college enough, and I wasn't ready to leave. But alas, my age dictates I must move on, and so I did. I've got the lowest grades I've ever recieved in my school career. I made a series of mistakes along the way and it hurt my GPA and my money. But they were necessary mistakes.

I recieved low grades because of the lack pushing and prodding college has on its students. Nobody says "go to school or else." So some days, I decided not to go. Nobody said "do your homework or else." So some days, I didn't do my homework. Push comes to shove, and my lack of concern put me in a bad place. But I've learned from my mistakes. I'll alleviate them throughout the summer semester and furthermore in the next Fall semester. I admit my defeat, and I will gain my victory and get out of this hell hole known as community college.


By the way, I finished my week of songs as of yesterday.
It was... different, that's for sure.
It's really easy to find inspiration in songs, but when you actually start walking around and looking, you realize that most of your songs focus on emotions and not anything that's particularly tangible. Some of the pics were a stretch, but others were a breeze. My favorite was definitely Such Great Heights; I had planned it all week. The most difficult was Tuesday, and I exchanged Marching Bands Of Manhattan - Death Cab For Cutie with I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard because I wasn't able to reach my photo op location anytime this week. This little sub-project led me on an amazing adventure though, but that's a story for another time.

I will probably do this all over again.

Monday - [Phantom Limb - The Shins]
Tuesday - [I Can't Stop About It - Obadiah Parker]
Wednesday - [Out Of Gas - Modest Mouse]
Thursday - [Wild Sage - Mountain Goats]
Friday - [Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine]
Saturday - [The Owls Go - Architecture In Helsinki]
Sunday- [I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard - Nightmare Of You]




My updates may not be substantial this week. I have work every single day except Friday, and with all the other stuff going on I may not be able to take GOOD pictures. But I promise an update per day regardless. Hopefully the rain that's supposed to last all week won't be too much.

But anyway, finals are coming up. Wish me luck.
Hello, stress, you're my old friend. Nice to meet you again.
