Current Musical Selection: the Beatles... some misc. stuff from the 'white album'
Today was another installment of wham bam. so much stuff, so little time. even though it seems i spent most of the day in my room; maybe i did... it still went past fairly quickly. ended up buying books today.. that burnt about 500 dollars. just under actually, 460 something; which makes it about the cheapest semester for books ive ever had in my college career.. that alone made me happy to see. but not the trek across 3 stores to buy them... the university of iowa really needs to straighten that up. faculty should only assign books that are textbooks out of one location... im fine with going else where for reading type books... but its crazy to infuse capitalist, private ventures with the massive tentacles of the university machine... im sure kids are overwhelmed as it is with campus, let alone trying to track down books from 3 different places [or more, depending on your major!] especially when they learn that Iowa Book is not University Book... one is a private store a block and a half away from the university's book store in the basement of the student[less] union. fuck em. they fist kids for 120 bucks per book, and give you back 5 at the end of the semester... then take your used books, and sell them back for 95 next semester. fuck em indeed. thats business, fucking kids and parents out of their money.
Tonight i had an interesting conversation with someone online; appearantly durring mid conversation i said something to make them mad; and they resort to the tried and true 'throw it back in your face' method of reconciliation. im glad we do this. it makes it much easier for me to find the true adults in the world, when i see children acting out like that. besides the point, it was the entire idea of guilt tripping... makes me feel like im back in an old relationship, where everything i did with J. ended up in me getting 1)bitched at 2)guilt tripped 3) both 1 and 2. this felt alot like that. not something id like to relive. nor is it something ill go into in great detail toinght.... just the fact of being left with a similar sensation of 'crap' for a feeling; of which you know you havent earned, and you really dont feel bad about; but their words have made you stop and think, then triggered the sensation... maybe thats my consentience kicking in... and maybe people like that dont have one.

Current Musical Selection: -= nothing.... absolute solitued, except for the air conditioner =-
Today seems like it was a long day, but it really wasnt. One of those days, that your tired to the soles of your feet, but you really didnt do much work. Today I moved back into Iowa City. Yeah, there was a lot of leg work to get shit into the car, and from their back into my building.... but really not that much. My room is a new room for once. The past two years I lived in the same one; and Ill have to say, there are alot of memories, good and bad with 2114; but all in all, i thought my time there was done. I laughed when i walked through the hallway there today; Greg is still there [my roommate from last year] and theres a sign up for Scott... either its his new roommate, or a funny practical joke; but either way its still fitting none the less.
Partly my decision to move out was based on me aging out. I feel old. I act old. Let me be old by myself. I know im no longer the kid i thought i was comming up to this school; my priorities have changed... hell my outlook on life has had some changes. This year i thought, it was time i was honest with myself, and make a change. so 2303 here i am. in the dark. typing away, all by myself. just like ive done the past two years... its all just another empty room, that ill pass the time in; and when the year is done, ill move on. just like everyone before me; nothing deviating.
the only thing thats really eerie around here is the lack of people... my floor is separated from the rest, and only has something like 10 rooms; only one other guy has moved in... even the RAs arent comming up to visit.. it makes this place seem very quiet and still. too bad in 5 days, it will be hopping worse than a humming bird on speed.
not sure what else to make of today... im sure its nothing important, although id want it to be. time will tell i suppose... time will tell
ain't it fun~
