So while this term doesn't give me any creative writing classes (which, fine, I've applied to the Creative Writing in Florence/Paris and anxiously awaiting news), I have an amazing freshmen seminar called Synesthesia, which sounded a lot better than The Culture of Work and Play. So far, my classes seem mostly very manageable, except this one Cultures&Contexts course called Global Asia, which I now realize I should've tried harder to take China. I thought that it would go more along the lines of Stuyvesant's Geopolitics course, which, by the way, was fantastic. Global Asia isn't inspiring anything in me besides bewilderment and a break for 'naptime' since the teacher doesn't really believe in technology.
I now use my iPad to take notes with a bluetooth connection to a keyboard. It took a while for me to actually get used to it, which what since it seems like I could've used it for the chemistry lectures. But then again, I'm not sure if I would've been good at using it. Now, I'm just typing as long as I can and continuously to try and sabotage my roommate from doing any work because wow, thank you for that, thank you for playing your music, thank you for not cleaning up after yourself, thank you so much for existing and making my life so much harder because of the little shit you do all the time. Argh.
This playlist has been my favorite since I first discovered it on the day it was posted. There's something about the procession of songs and the emotions that it drags up within me that forces me to look harder at what I'm doing with my life and what I want to do with it.
