North or South
I am without a compass.
My sails are full of wind, but missing direction.
But trees –
Do trees know which way they will grow?
Ever reaching toward sunlight, nourishment, the highest breeze –
Do trees live purposeful lives?
How would we ever know if trees think about these things
if we never bothered to ask.
They could teach me a thing or two about true north.

Not a F*#$ will be given today
Jesus H. Christ, it's October? I swear it was just August.
So since I haven't written in a while you can probably guess that this is the Semester From Hell. Like, I had thought that previous semesters were the semester from hell. No. It's getting to the point where I don't want to be in school, I am apathetic about everything, have lost most creativity. People expect me to be a machine and I just don't function like that. Senior year is the time to step it up. I am terrified.
Some highlights:
I turned 21! It's still kind of wierd to think that I can now buy legal drinks.
Canada this year was fantastic - my cousin and I came to the realization that we are soulmates. And this year we FINALLY went skinnydipping. SO. COLD.
The first Wednesday back at Witt, Rachel threw me a surprise birthday party. It was totally unexpected and so, so wonderful. I've never had a surprise party before. Pretty much everyone I care about on campus was there. Sadly I had class at 8am, so left relatively early.
I arm-wrestled my professor. That's right. Where else could you have these kinds of experiences?? It's a long story that I'm too lazy to talk about, but let's just say for a skinny man Dr. K is quite strong.
I am now an employee for an awesome organization. It has proved to be like the summer in terms of volume of work and craziness. However, it's one of the few things getting me through right now.
I am, for the first time in my life, in a real choir. I actually really enjoy it and even though I am not required to stay next semester because of student teaching, I might do it anyway.
FYI, I am sitting in chem right now. As you can tell I don't give a leap about this class.
