Random Diary Blather
If there could possibly be a positive derived from Heather being gone for two weeks, it would be that I should at least get plenty of sleep. That hasn’t been working out so well.
I’m exhausted every night, but I have this problem where I won’t go to bed due to this suffocating feeling of dissatisfaction I have. It’s like I feel as though I haven’t done enough in my day – I think I’ve written about this before. I don’t mean in the typical “I should have gotten more homework done” sense or whatever, it’s more like I feel my day was too empty. Which, to be honest, my days have been pretty empty lately. I spend my mornings in classes where I don’t learn anything, my afternoons taking naps to catch up on lost sleep, and my evenings flipping through kids game shows and stand-up comedy acts with Kyle. I like the evenings best, but it still isn’t exactly the sort of activity that lends itself well to revelations, which is apparently what I want. Though Get the Picture is damn entertaining television.
It would probably be more efficient to do something to change this rather than whine in my diary about it; I realize that. I think it may just be monotony more than anything – this is my 4th year at the same college and we’ve had the apartment a year now. And I still have another year of both though, admittedly, I don’t know that living alone at a new school is exactly the shake-up I need either.
I really do think I have to get out of the small town environment though, or at least into a different one. It’s probably for the best that I’m sorta being forced out of Milledgeville to go to grad school. Which, I’m still not sure how the living alone is going to work, but I’m not playing the random roommate game again which longtime readers may remember. Though this does mean I won’t have anyone to cook and clean for me . . .
I forget that Grad school is going to cost money too – I’ve been going on scholarship. I should try to get another, otherwise I might actually have to work. Perish the thought.
Yeah, this entry was actually more of a traditional diary entry and, thus, was composed of nothing but random musings that I can’t imagine would interest anyone, but I’m posting it nonetheless. I’ll post some random rant on Wal-Mart or something soon to cover this nonsense up.
i thought it was interesting. 🙂 do you have any other thoughts of where to go to school other than uga? cause, athens…does not equal bigger town. it’s still a small place, ya know. perhaps orlando? or jacksonville? both have good schools, i’m sure. you could go to atlanta, but i fear that the driving would get you killed relatively quickly.

Leaving my hometown and moving to the city was the best thing I ever did… It’s worth it, in my opinion. But then, everyone’s different. I hope your dissatisfaction goes away soon… Sending positive thoughts your way.

I think a lot of grad students can get teaching assistant jobs and basically go to grad school for free; you should look into that. ryn: I honestly didn’t have to actually read the thing, he gave us a brief synopsis in class and all the tests are takehome anyway. So I’m not stressing about it too much…I haven’t read anything else in there either yet.

What will you be going to grad school for? Most grad schools in my field actually pay your tuition and yearly salaries so it’s like having a job rather than having to pay tuition. Sometimes I feel the way you do with strings of monotonous days. It’s especially difficult now that I am so near the end of my bachelor’s degree. I suggest joining a club but that could be rather boring as well… Ilike to go on southwest.com and see how cheap tickets are to various places in the country. I found one-way tickets for $45 a piece once and thought it’d be fun for a four day weekend. Maybe you just need to go out and try something new or start volunteering somewhere or get a new job or what have you. Good luck with it.

i live in charlotte. born in boston but raised in the south, i guess that makes me semi-southern or something like that. i’ve been told there are two kind of yankees: yankees (who live up north) and damn yankees (who come to invade the south). i guess i’d be classified a damn yankee. i was in atlanta for a check up with the docs who did my kidney transplant. i got to check out the new aquarium while i was there. good times for one and all.

Did you ever think about moving to a school closer to Heather? -B

To above noter: (I assume Briz?) Heather’s going to school in England for couple of semesters (most of the year that I’m in Grad school), so it wouldn’t really work out. And I can’t get my masters in accounting in England.

Going to a new college will be good for you. Everyone needs change.

I’m still completely thrown by this concept of missing Heather when you never see her anyway. Do you really spend most of your time on the computer or phone?

If so, you should leave me more notes or summat.
