vicarzI'm not miserable in school. I never get sick. My measure for if I'm happy or not is my physical health. I was miserable in my last job, and I was constantly getting sick. On the other hand, the building I worked in was torn down - so perhaps I was getting sick because of air in that location?
School gives me a constant flow of things to do, and every moment I spend outside of it is a precious gift. What would I be doing with my life were I not in school? How different would I be? Am I growing more or less because I'm a student? I'm learning a lot, not just classwork but even more humility and gaining more ability to listen to others (not just hear and counter).
Yesterday I got on a metro train, and was warned by a big black guy not to sit on the seat. It had a big loogie on it, in fact almost every seat in that part of the car did. The guy said some kids were acting up. I thanked him and walked down the car. The rest of the ride people made noises of disgust, and walked down the car. When I got off the train, I let an attendant know about the vandalism so someone could address it. On the other hand, I could imagine that it was pretty funny. These kids had a serious affect on a number of adults, and it was...funny. In a spitting off a bridge kinda way. Still, I hope no one sat in any.
My icon is of gay bug sex. Debate tonight. It's nice out. I wanna hike again but I'm busy through early November. Might be fun to walk in the cold. Clean sheets, a big dump, and a rock-hard alibi.
Afterthought - I'm really appreciating the goals I didn't achieve. Every choice that would have closed another door, now that I look back I tend to be greatful I didn't make that mistake (or wasn't able to). Regrets become whew.
