Big Deadline
So if I get this up quickly, will it register for September? That’d give me two whole posts for the month! I’m sitting here watching a show on the Pixies. They made some pretty cool music a while back. I hear a lot of Nirvana in their music. I should say, I hear a lot of their music in Nirvana. They were around long before Nirvana. Looking at the videos and live performances, they look like such wimps.
Anyway, there’s not a lot going on here. And there is a lot going on here. I finally got a chance to breathe last night. I’d been working hard trying to get a big task done for school. I was supposed to work all last weekend, but I was so tired that I ended up sleeping way too much. Then I was supposed to get a lot done earlier this week, but caught a cold. I felt miserable on Monday, wretched on Tuesday, much better on Wednesday, almost well yesterday, and just a little bit better today than yesterday. The point of that? I didn’t get much work done until Wednesday night. But after finishing everything last night (to turn in this morning), I finally got to read a little from a book I started recently. Maybe this weekend I can read most (perhaps all) of it.
Today after school a big group went to Starbucks to hang out. Starbucks is everywhere here. Wednesday I had to go to the office supply store to get some stuff. I drove right by four Starbucks on my way to the place and back home. Today I got a good icy drink. It’s hot here now; the rainy season ended too early. Things are already starting to turn brown, and it’s not even October. Not yet… not where I am… not according to my watch. We went to Starbucks as a sort of fun thing to do for Sarah’s birthday. A bunch of people were going to go watch a movie at someone’s house, but I figured they’d pick a girlie movie, so I didn’t go. Instead I went to the office to get caught up on work there. I got there at about 6:00 and left just before 9:00. But I am all caught up.
Things are going well here. I can’t complain about anything. Actually, I’ve really been enjoying a lot of things recently. But there’s still that adventurous spirit in me. It tells me that I wish I could do something different. I want to go to Xochimilco. I want to go to Querétaro. I want to go swimming. All I’ve been doing recently is working at school, working at the office, going to meetings, and eating food. But it’s been good, because the people here are good. There’s just that part of me that gets restless.
Did I do it? Did I get it in before midnight? Should I have bothered publishing this randomness?
