so tired

I'm not meant to get up this early. My body just doesn't function. No matter how much sleep I get (I went to bed at 10:30) I'm still tired. All I want to do is go back to bed, but I have class in 20 min. I wonder how many of these posts are me bitching about being tired? I'm guessing in the area of 100%. Is there such a thing as chronic mono? Chrono, perhaps. Or mhronic.

ok a new post

John called me out about the blog, so I'll post something new. School is in full swing. I've got my first story assignment (how much debt is SMU in?), classes have regular homework, I'm working in the student center again, and of course the Daily Update. This is going to be my busiest semester of all. So much for slacking off as a senior. My internship starts Monday. I'm a little nervous. This entry is worthless. I forgot how to write blogs.

how do i act





You Are 21 Years Old



21





Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.



my last first day of school

This semester started Wednesday. I don't have a lot to say about it, but I'm mentioning it because it's pretty significant in my life. Now I have to do things and be places again. And it's my last semester. That means all of my loyal fan will get to hear periodically about my fear of the "real" world. I'm sure those entries will increase exponentially as May approaches. Anyway, I've got to gt ready for my workout class. Today we're learning how to bend steel bars. Next week they're going to break cinder blocks on our head.

Confused people

I heard an advertisment for the new Bravo show "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl," and I'm very confused. (As are they, apparently). It's a team of 3 gay guys and one gay girl. Here's what Bravo has to say:

"From the creators of Bravo's hit series, pop culture phenomenon Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, comes a series that turns a tasteful eye towards the ladies — appropriately titled Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. Each week, Bravo's new team of make-better mavens — "the Gal Pals" — bring their talents in each of their categories to a new Straight Girl in need."

Uhhh what? The whole point of QEFSG was that women are attracted to gay men, so if you "gay up" a straight guy then he will get women. It doesn't really work in reverse. You can't have 3 guys who like men telling a woman what is attractive and sexy. "Girl, if I were straight I would totally date you." As a straight male I can safely say that I don't want women who act and look like gay men. Girls don't need a "queer eye." The fourth member of their team is the only saving grace, someone who is attracted to women. Brilliant, Holmes! Anyway, it's Bravo's money, not mine.

back

I'm back to Dallas after a good Christmas break in Houston. I didn't have any responsibilities, so I slept a whole bunch and played lots of xbox. It was great. We had our usual family Christmas, and my brother came into town for a good bit of the break. It's still weird going home, as it often is in this strange in-between period we call college. But on the whole I had a relaxing time with people I don't see very often.

Now it's back to school, back to work, and time for a new year. I've got to find a fucking job. No, a career. Fuck.
