Wandering and Wondering

Let's see...I'm doing short semester now. So far my workload hasn't been too bad, so I'm filling up my time by catching up on some reading. To a certain extent, this has been making my mind and soul wander about for a bit, to grey destinations I cannot yet name. But I think I'm already seeing some results from these wanderings...

The past few years that I've spent as an IIU student has been some of the best of my life. I have unreservedly welcomed what happiness and unhappiness life would gently slip into me. And in between these two opposites, there were moments when I thought that I had found myself. I think I've lost these moments, and I'm not sure where to find them.

I think I would also mention that I've also been doing some physical wandering, around campus. And I just have to keep wandering, spiritually and physically, until I find something. Maybe this searching itself is supposed to be my life, and yet again maybe I'm supposed to find something and go forth from there. We'll see.

Sleepy

This hasn't been a very good semester. I'm having finals now, I can't focus and my papers so far have been train wrecks.

I haven't watched Supernatural in a while...a few new episodes have come out and I'm behind. I miss the show. So far season 4 is really scaring me, because I'm seeing the boys being pulled in two different directions. Sam's getting darker, Dean's getting more...well, beriman. Good for him, bad for Sam, and even worse for the fangirl. Those boys are going to drive me crazy. Damn you Kripke; I love you, but DAMN YOU.

As for the overall story arc, one of the things I loved most about the show in the beginning was that it was simple. Now, we have the epic battle between heaven and hell, as well angels and demons doing humans. And the heroes are battling to save the world from the incoming and fast-approaching apocalypse. COME ON!!! :( But of course, Kripke being Kripke and doing what Kripke does best, by this time I'm completely addicted to the show and I don't mind the plot so much and I just have to keep watching anyway.

God help me. With this psycho addiction and this nutso semester.

Ear Infections

Avoid them. At all costs.

Ear infections sound like a tiny little thing, but do you guys have any idea about the amount of PAIN it involves? It's definitely a lot. And I mean bucketfuls of agony, enough to completely turn your life upside down for a solid week. Trust me, I have a bit too much experience when it comes to this. And before you start calling me a whiny baby...well, I am, but anywaaay. Fyi, most doctors will tell you, repeatedly and emphatically, never to dig your ears. Ever. Just wanted to pass it along...

Right now is...

Instant coffee in a plastic
Kickapoo bottle

It’s one a.m.

The air I breathe in
Is scattered with
Little accidental bonfires
And the occasional spark.

It’s still a cold night, and

As far as I can tell
I am happy.
