i'm in college!!! ahh! how crazy!! things haven't even really begun to set in yet. perhaps that has to do with the fact that classes don't start until monday or the fact that during all these orientation activities it has been a common consensus that we feel like we are in kindergarten again. making lines, name games, etc. but it's all fun...
i'm actually sort of ready for classes to start. the whole concept of homework is still not that appealing, but i want to see how my classes are and stuff.
i am still anxiously awaiting the release of tv on the radio's album "return to cookie mountain" on 9/12. an important date for everyone to remember, along with the following:
9/26-season premiere of gilmore girls!!!!!
10/4-LOST season premiere!!!
12/26-release date of switchfoot's new album!!! flippin' SWEET.
um, i haven't had a real cup of coffee yet, i just got the ok on my coffee maker. and on a little less positive note, there is not a caribou in near site. *sigh* i will miss it's homey ambiance and such. let's just say, that will be my second home when i come back home. there is, however, an interesting coffee shop right off campus that has yet to be checked out. but it looks very cool. i am way excited to see it.
its so HOT here. thank goodness for fans. and windows that open.
oy, with the poodles already.

but your heart can't grieve.............all your dreams are over now
for your little dreams.......................and all your wings have fallen down
tell that to my musical hole in my heart because i won't be able to get tv on the radio's new album until september 12. i have never wanted to be in england so bad.
to hold me over, i have been watching this performance of "dreams" featuring tv on the radio, trent reznor from nine inch nails, and peter murphy of bauhaus. it is incredible.

same old bloggy, just a new name. it was time for a change, updated to fit my ever changing mind and life. i credit the name to modest mouse, who truly captivated me from the moment i heard "the world at large", as mentioned in my previous entry.
i leave for college this month. actually, i move in three weeks from tomorrow. crazy.
i feel as if i don't move quickly, i'm going to get sucked into this massive....thing (ugh, for the lack of a better word). not quite a vortex or like, an ordinary hole, its more constricting than that. like each idle moment is gathering at my feet and slowly piling higher and higher. i need to be able to step out of this box i am waiting in before my trip to college or i think part of me will be left behind. a part of me that is crucial for my future endeavours at school. i think my biggest problem now is that my state of limbo has gotten my ability to step out of the box in a minor state of distress. now that i know what's wrong, hopefully i will make it out of the box before i head off to school.
on the (ironic, but) bright side, it stormed last night. it was amazing.

it finally rained. i wish i could express my elation of standing outside quite dribblings of the sky. give me a good thunderstorm anyday, but it was nice to just be outside and enjoy the perfectness that is rain.
this summer has been good so far, but i can't help but feel a little destroyed too. maybe destroyed is too strong, but that is almost where i am at. i am looking forward to college, but don't really know what i want to do. i say i want an international business degree, but they people say "well, what are you going to do with that?". and then i'm back to square one. i don't know what i want/can/should do with that. this summer is slipping away. don't get me wrong, i have done a lot of things i really wanted to do. and finally being able to hang out with friends without stressing out about something in the back of my mind has been phenomenal. but a certain combination of uncertainty and unemployment has left me here. not knowing what i want. and penny-less as well. i have gained a new appreciation of my close friends though, and i can't imagine what i would do without them.
the summer isn't over though. i still have time to do a few things, scratch the surface of finding a purpose. why am i here? what the heck am i supposed to do?
i like songs about drifters-books about the same.
they both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
walked on off to another spot.
i still haven't gotten anywhere that i want.
did i want love? did i need to know?
why does it always feel like i'm caught in an undertow?
my thoughts were so loud i couldn't hear my mouth.
