Yo.

Mood: It’s too early in the morning to know yet [Too early in the morning period].
Listening to: Spiral – Julien-K

Good morning, ladies and gentleman.
It’s 6:41 A.M. here. Ah the joys of getting up early to head out to class.

Yeah it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. Just haven’t felt like posting much, and haven’t had much to post about anyway.

Fall semester started on August 18th. I’ve got Psychology, Literature, History [American hurgh. This is the last semester of it], and Philosophy. Let’s not talk about how irritated Philosophy makes me. [Oops too late!] I keep an open mind because that’s how I roll. Being infuriatingly ‘right-brained’ [so I'm told] as I am, I’ve just got little patience for some of the crazy shit these crazy people have written. You see - the problem is that the reading assignments we’re given in the [ridiculously expensive] textbook we have are batshit insane. I think that the authors were trying to sound cool and profound when they wrote them. They essentially spend several pages talking in circles, trying to make a point they could easily [and less boringly] established in a couple of paragraphs [They are, as they say - tl;dr - like this entry]. Several pages of just… words. Just a sheer volume of words. They don’t just repeat themselves [Like I am, rant rant rant], they have literally filled the pages with gibberish that I suppose they thought sounded smart. Half of it doesn’t even make sense.   I realize that it always seems that way for some people who either don’t like or have difficulty reading, but that is not me. I love reading, and am [excuse my bragging, really, terribly sorry] pretty good at it. When I was in English class, all throughout my schooling, teachers always tried to impress upon us that being concise was important, and that we shouldn’t be too wordy in our writing [there are some authors of some classics that could have benefitted from that advice - also myself because I'm fairly certain I've started ranting], and while I understood that to a point, I was always a little annoyed, because detail is important – just as they say, not too much detail.
But now I really understand. They were trying to save us from writing something like what’s in my Philosophy textbooks.

Anyway, It’s almost 7 here, so I need to roll out. Seeya later!
