Monday
Let's try and remember what happened on Monday. If you know me, like truly know me, you'll know that I don't remember anything that happens, or conversations that happens. Yeah, I can remember stuff for class, fairly adequately, but I will tell you the same story over and over again, with the mindset that it's the first time I'm telling you.

Monday morning I got out of bed late, again. I hate showering at night because if I don't stay up late enough to dry my hair, it dries ridiculously on its own overnight. So, up in a bun it went. Found out that my morning class for Wednesday and Friday will be canceled because my professor has a convention to go to. Hurrah for sleeping in.

Let's see. I had Bagel basket for lunch with a friend. Everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese and bacon. I feel like I've said this before already. Deja vu to the max. Don't knock it till you try it though, I swear. Something about the bacon cream cheese convo that just works.

Had guitar class at 4pm. Our newest homework assignment is printing out tabs to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and practicing it. got home and printed that shit asap. I was so excited about it, I already learned the intro. Nerd alert.

Ask me to remember the rest of my monday. I couldn't do it for you even if I tried. Because I'm trying.. and I can't do it..

SOLVED THE DEJA VU FIASCO... I literally wrote this entire day out into a blog already. Sorry for the repetitiveness, but holy shit. Welcome to my brain. Where NOTHING MAKES SENSE. Honestly it's like I'm two different people. or a thousand. But seriously, I almost rewrote this blog verbatim. It's like word for word...

sorry. we are moving on to tuesday because my brain needs solid information to hold onto. Nothing feels real right now. send help. I srsly think I have neurological issues... Besides the ones I already have.

Tuesday
Why even bother trying to wake up early anymore? Out of bed at 10:32 for my 10:45 class. Walk in five minutes late, walk all the way to the front of the lecture to sit. Because I'm that person. I like to sit in the front of all my classes, unless it's a big lecture that uses a powerpoint. Then it's just illogical to sit close, because you can't see. The only reason I sit in the front of my classes..I had this list of 100 wisest words, which I've posted about before... AH HA! I found it. it took about ten minutes of archiving. here it is.

 here it is. Anyway.. Read the whole thing. I found it years ago, and some of these little things cross my mind from time to time. They've actually woven their way into my values and morals and decision making. I'm so familiar with them because I wrote them down on a white board when I was in high school and hung it in my room so I could read it every day. 

After class I had a package at the mail store. MY HEADPHONES. Oh my days they are beautiful. they're one of the nicest things I've ever owned. They're white with tan suede (ask me how many times it took me to spell that) and teal interior and a teal cord. They are noise canceling, but I swear it's like magic. It turns the whole world off. They are just what I need. I can shut everything out and be in my own little world. I know too much shutting out and I become a space cadet, but a getaway for a little while every day is a wonderful privilege. 

Walked up to my car as parking authority was writing me a ticket. All I could do was watch them drive away, leaving me $10 less rich. Drove up to the house and ate lunch and studied for my exam at 2:35. Got to hangout with Marianne (the TLC). We're buds now. She loves Taylor Swift as much as I do. 

Enter exam room 2:20pm.

Start exam 2:35pm.

Finish exam 2:55pm.

Not kidding. I was the first person done. and I went back and checked every problem twice. May I stress that the exam room had about 150 people in it? Either I failed or got a 100. To be continued later this week when we get the grades back. 

Played guitar for an hour until my fingers were red and swollen and warm. It lets me know I'm getting better. Just because I'm putting time into it.

Chelsea came over and we played a game with my new headphones. One person wears them while music is playing so you can't hear the other person. Then, the other person says a word or a phrase out loud and the person with the headphones has to guess what you're saying. It may not sound funny, but it's hysterical. Be my friend and hangout with me and we'll play sometime. 

She convinced me to go to the gym with her and Alexis. I was gently reminded that 4pm is the absofucking WORST time to go to the gym. Waiting for a treadmill. Did four miles on a bike by the time a treadmill opened. had the energy to run one mile and do an ab workout. Jesus lord help me. I pay enough money to this school to have all of the treadmills working at the gym. There were at least 5 broken ones today. Lehigh, get on your shit. 

Showered after gym. Two days in a row WOO. sad, sad fact.

Planned on going to the library to do work and then just didn't. Bed was too comfy. I'm questioning my self-control more and more every day. It's like my brain can't convince my body to do anything anymore. 

After actually doing real person things like homework and paying zeta dues, I played on sporcle for an hour and a half. I couldn't tell you a damn thing about Economics, but I can name you all 197 countries recognized in the world by sporcle. 

Proof:

I really don't know how I manage to have friends. If anyone reading this considers themselves my friend, wanna shoot me a message telling me why you've stayed? I really don't think I would be my friend if I had the choice. 

After reading older blogs, from when I first started, I've learned that my blogs have gotten worse. The stuff I used to write actually made sense and had some insightful thoughts. I feel like now I just word vomit all over the page until I feel like stopping. maybe the blog is evolving as I'm evolving as a person, and I'm not sure how I feel about myself after reading them. 

I'm just a confused person. I'm the happiest miserable person you'll ever meet. 

help me end this post.

I can't stop. 

bye.
