And a few more days pass...
Sorry I haven't said anything of substance in here recently... It's not that there hasn't been anything going on, or that there's nothing going through my head-- it's just that I've had little desire to put any of it to paper, so to speak.
The weather's been lovely, it almost feels like I imagine is does back home. It'd be nice to be at Kenyon this time of year... But then, it's quite nice to be here! Today was absolutely brilliant: warm, sunny, very few clouds in the sky... I'm happy to report that I spent a good deal of it outside.
It's funny, but when I look at my schedule as I've planned it out, I'm going to be busy with things from now right up until I leave. Major assignments for classes are all thankfully peppered throughout the next couple weeks, which means that I won't be in any tight spots when it comes to writing papers (unless I foolishly create them myself, which of course may happen). What it also means, though, is that there'll always be something I'm working on... Hopefully I'll be able to make it through to the end of June before my academic stamina wears out.
And my money. There's that, too.
It's kind of funny, but though I've been aware that friends back home are going to finish before me, I hadn't thought of them sitting at home, enjoying (or not) their summer vacations, while I'm still hunched over this laptop writing papers.
Speaking of being hunched over this laptop, I've neglected to let my momentum continue with The Silence. *sigh* I'm never going to finish it. I should throw up my hands and abandon all pretense of trying to be a novelist!
Yikes. What else would I do with my life? Be a Montessori teacher, more likely than not. Half the curriculum's probably still squirreled away somewhere in the recesses of my brain.
I've seen a lot of my British mates in the last couple days, and it looks like I'll be seeing a lot more of them in the next two months, which pleases me immensely, both because it means I won't be lonely and because I perceive forging stronger friendships as an investment.
To all my friends-- if you're going to play Kingdom Hearts II, please do it on hard. "Proud Mode." The fact that I had no trouble screaming through the game fighting less than what I imagine would be the requisite number of battles says something. Playing it again, leisurely, leveling up now and then, I find all of the wonderful boss battles are over before I can even begin to enjoy them.
I think that's probably all for the moment.

i'm already done with school, sucker.
...but then again i'm spending the first half of summer here taking an accounting class.
...touche universe.
and though this idea has continuously been struck down by the amiable little jew we all know as "jordan", i submit that, upon your return to ohio, and the end of david tyler's stay up there, you guys should drive down to georgia with him and then everyone come out to the ole massey lake house for a bit of old fashioned chilling and water-y stuff if anyone is so inclined, while also playing copious amounts of video games on a tv my dad got which can only be described as "bonetron". i propose this because, not only would it be awesome in its own right, i am spending the second half of the summer abroad and won't be able to make it up to cleveland at all.
