the morning?

at heart I am a morning person. I do not have the capacity to sleep until noon (unless under extenuating circumstances- aka a weird exam schedule, or just moving out of the dorms, etc). and I would much rather watch the sun rise. it's pretty amazing. the other day I drove to school while the city was still shrouded in that fog of dawn, but the sun was peeking over from behind me, and the city buildings downtown were lit up like crooked teeth ("crooked teeth"- currently one of my favorite songs). while I'm on the death cab vibe, man I would hate "someday you will be loved." that's a lot to bear. in any case, it's uncommonly beautiful (the sunrise)

yesterday was an amazing day in and of itself. first of all, it was so warm outside. secondly, well, this is really the big one, but if I had time, I would so have gone to Loose Park yesterday- all the runners were out in their short shorts and big t-shirts and every time I saw one I either stared like a creeper or hid behind my current distraction, hoping somehow (unsuccessfully) to shroud my jealousy. I miss running so much. treadmills suck. I miss dancing. staying inside and staring at books under fluorescent lamps, booo.

OH and last night I ended up studying at my fave starbucks, and I had all three of my anatomy texts out, and this older fellow (probably semi-senile) approached me and asked me all kinds of things pertaining to the bunion on his heels. He talked forever and ended up trying to tell me about the things he was inventing, though he admitted he had never been on a computer ("Someday I'll rob a bank and pay someone to teach me how to turn the darned thing on"), but said as an inventor he had this great idea for an academic program that would really advance the world: a database that covered every conceivable angle of a certain subjects.

He had never heard of Wikipedia. or the Internet.

Anyway, never met anyone who didn't know what the internet was, so that was new.


Last night I also discovered that I can fall asleep under ANY circumstances: by ANY I really mean a triple shot cinnamon dolce (which was so-so, but the espresso was fiiiine) and a 8 ounce red bull.

I should probably get back to studying. I miss running. I really want to train for a 10k, none of this amateur 5k business (jk, I love 5ks)

OH and my younger brother is thinking of coming here. I never know what to say when people say that they want to come here. I think the worst thing would be to make an uninformed decision, which mine partly was (I guess) but if I had to do it over I wouldn't do anything differently, even if I knew then what I know now. I mean, it would be cool (to have him here) and all, but it's kind of a crazy deal. I love KC- and it would be fun to have someone else to share it with and not feel completely alone. And I would be so curious to see how we respond differently or alike to certain circumstances. he would be a year 1 when I'd be a year 4, so maybe we'd be on campus at the same time? my greatest fear is that he would hate it and regret his decision, something I've never done- I'm a big believer in living your own life and not the life someone else wishes for you- and this decision is one that no one else can make for you.

so, what I guess I'm trying to say is, only time will tell, but life is always changing, but always crazy.
