HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!

haven't had much inspiration to post... and it must be because i've been ridiculously happy lately. that phrase almost makes me want to vomit but it's true, i think. i haven't had much to complain about this quarter i suppose. my classes were all very easy and one of them was even enjoyable! i've had an amazing time opening up my eyes to all of the inequities of education and racking my brain trying to discover what I can do about it. The comfort of easy classes allowed me the pleasure of having fun and not being the stressed-out maniac I too often am. Unstressed people are just more fun to be around. There is of course also a downside to having easy classes... constantly feeling like a waste of life, like wasted potential withering-away... that uncomfortable feeling of losing brain cells. an unfufilled desire to be challenged. but the dumbness of psych classes let me put my intellectual energy into ed this quarter... so i at least had some kind of outlet. as for other stuff... the last two weekends were great. i chose to anticipate rather than stress and everything turned out way better than fine... turned out really really well and I just feel guilty and lucky to be so content right now. oh i also just finished finals so that might explain the annoyingly giddy tone of this post. i'm going home to san diego tomorrow morning and i can't wait to take in that first breath of san diego air. mmmm i have high hopes for the break. i want to READ, mainly. I plan to read: the remaining chapters of my education books (to brainstorm ideas for a research project next quarter), marquez, gogol, chekhov, other russian guys, and i want to pick up some sartre and marx. i'm also going to apply for internships, contemplate life, see my friends (who I miss too much :( ), hang out with sallysal!, and just BE at torrey pines, in my backyard, at balboa park, in the canyon, at cowles mtn, even at freaking VONS in PQ... I just miss everything- almost everything- about san diego. this quarter was too good but i CANT WAIT TO SEE MY FRIENDS. SEE YOU SOON my loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
