Will you count me in?
I had an epiphany the other day about my life. Well, I don't know if you could call it an epiphany. Anyway, I was at Barnes and noble, reading my latest fling, and I decided to buy. I was drinking a coke. Whilst at the check out stand, I asked the lady if she could throw away my soda. I still had about 10% left and the lady decided to comment on it.
"Do you always throw away your last little bit of soda?" She asked.
The question caught me by surprise. As I thought about it, I realized that I don't eat or drink the last 10% of anything. I won't eat the crust of my sandwiches (but not all of the crust. Just the bottom); I won't drink the last bit in the glass; I always leave one or two vegetables on my plate. And I wonder if that translates into my life.
As I come to the end of college (one year left, baby) I have this really strong desire to drop out. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to get out now and get my life moving, you know? I haven't even filled out my FAFSA for next year. And I wonder if that could have been predicted. I wonder if a psychologist had known that I didn't like to eat my crust, that he or she would have said "be careful when it comes to graduating. That last ten percent might kill you."
I seriously rode home from bountiful today on my motorcycle today. Do you know what it's like to ride a motorcycle for one hour in the pouring rain? it's miserable, I tell you. I went up to bountiful to watch fireworks with a very dear friend. Afterword, we watched the two towers on blu ray and fell asleep. Much to my chagrin, when I woke up, I found it raining. And all I had were shorts and a short sleeve shirt. Ha ha. I was wearing sandals for heavens sake! (exclamation marks are like laughing at your own joke-- francis scott key). I couldn't feel my legs or feet; I was sopping wet.
Needless to say, I'll be driving around in my car for the rest of the day; I'm all funned out.
Well kiddos, as is my wont, I am going to keep this short. I don't want anyone getting bored reading this, you know? Gotta keep it concise.
Stick around; enjoy Stevie Wonder.
I love you for reading.
You can't stop me from topping these charts
Keele, I don't think I could get bored reading your writing. I'm enjoying it too much.
