The Future?

It's been awhile! I've been swamped with work as finals week approaches and the semester comes to a close. I am currently fever ridden, enjoying a short break in essay writing to post this. Since my last post, I have relished in the coming of fall, the blessings of family and friends, and eaten copious amounts of Thanksgiving turkey. Then came an epiphany. I will major in drawing and painting! I am still not sure what sort of job I want to aim for in the future, but for now I will work with things that I love! I feel that if I pursue my interests and love what I do, everything else will fall into place. I will do my best in this regard!!!

The Definition of Busy

This past week was spent burdened with a nasty cold of sorts. It still has me in its evil clutches, and I am contemplating a visit to the health center for stronger stuff to fight it off. A curious plus to being ill is having time to contemplate mundane and pressing issues alike ; my definition of a soul, ideas of Christmas gifts for friends, the benefits of steam, and my weirdly fascinating dreams (most recently featuring Mary Poppins..!!!). I feel that after such malaise and haziness, this week should be almost relaxing..! In any case, I will put my best foot forward and hope for a wonderful week. Best of luck to those reading this!~

Fall Leaves, Bribery, Facial Hair's Anarchistic Tendencies, and Coming to a Close

The weather as of late has been nice; so nice in fact, that I want to do little but laze about with my latest Agatha Christie book. But alas, life calls! All my classes are becoming hectic as the semester comes to a close. It is at times like these that I must either bribe myself or structure my days so as to promote progress in my studies. Most likely, I will utilize both of these in the coming weeks as I register for my classes, review for finals, and get a head start on lengthy papers to cap off my grade. All this progress calls for candy! It works wonderfully as a personal motivator, dietary supplement, and mental processing stimulant. (Most importantly, it abounds after the passage of Halloween..!)

I have been worried about the leaves lately. It quite dominates my thoughts during idle moments of the day. I fear that, as last year, the leaves will not turn; I get no satisfaction from watching the trees green-brown leaves endure lowering temperatures, clinging stubbornly as if they were not leaves, but natural supernumerary appendages of the trees before finally falling as brown skeletal flakes to litter the ground in rotting heaps. My dream of fall imagery goes out the window right there!

Though leaves worry me, I suppose I can bring myself to consider other pressing issues such as the relocation of the Occupy Dentonites (Is this a correct demonym for a resident of Denton?). They moved seemingly overnight to the green out front the art building, as if a living creature migrating on pseudo-pods of cardboard and canvas. I am intrigued by their evolution; just today I saw additional signs had been displayed by them, touting anarchistic such and so's with pictures of the founding fathers laminated among them. I wonder how long they will remain camped outside...

Lastly, on the hotly debated subject of No Shave November: no words. I will not participate. If I was capable of growing a mustache I would, but legs MUST remain somewhat shaven and my face rejects the possibility of a beard, goatee, or even conservative handlebar as an adornment. Must get back to schoolwork now...
