Swamped.
I am taking ten classes this semester. TEN. I don’t know why I thought this was a good idea, but it’s how it worked out. Normally, I’m all over how insanely  busy this is keeping me, but… This week, I was sick with a sinus infection. A pretty bad sinus infection. I cannot recall ever being this ill or this miserable from being ill. I was essentially in bed for 2 days. I...

Trying to decide what to have for dinner.
And of course I’m on tumblr and of course I scroll past pizza and chicken nuggets. Both of which I have in my freezer.  WHY IS MY LIFE SO FULL OF HARD DECISIONS

I hate telling people where I'm from. This is why. →
I knew this kid in high school, mostly through his girlfriend and mutual acquaintances.  I mean, everyone who went to East knew him or of him to some degree. I remember when this car crash happened almost 3 years ago. That’s all I have to say about that.

I am a horrible, terrible person.
I know that’s not true, but it’s how I feel right now. How could I wake up loving myself so much and now be here?

How much do I do?: I am so tempted to quantify...
At some point late last semester, I went through and determined how many man-hours and hours per person it took a choir to prepare for a concert. I don’t have those calculations on me, but I will definitely share them here later.  The point is, I’ve been thinking a lot about time and work in relation to music and just how much music goes into a semester of my life here. Let alone a...

All of my thought processes start with 'why?'
Why do I cling so hard to organization? Calendars, color coding, lists, syllabi, due dates, and more. Why? They make me less anxious about what I have to do, sure. Where did I learn this? Not from my parents, certainly. Not from any teacher. I guess it sort of started in high school out of…necessity? But it couldn’t have been necessity, because I floated through weeks not knowing what...

Questionnaire for class. I amuse myself.
What things do you want me to know about you so I can help you be successful in class? I’m not a freshman, which I don’t say because age or maturity is any kind of issue, but because I had class last semester with most of the people in this class now and I just generally don’t fit with their mentality. I’ve done the freshman thing already, the stress and the identity crisis and I’m not interested...

aaaaaaaaaaand I've tuned out.
Why do I try to be around people? Not that I don’t like them, but this is complete torture and I kind of want to run away and cry. I do like these people and I like spending time with them. So why can’t I just sit and talk with them without feeling completely overwhelmed? I’d liken it to feeling like I’m drowning, but in all the conversation going on around me instead of...

I hate the word 'smart'
Please, however you know me and whatever you think of me, never use that word to describe me…or anyone for that matter. It just builds so many barriers. It excludes. It ostricizes. I’ve been called lots of things, and lots of derogatory things among them. None hurt so much as being called ‘smart.’

My dreams are scaring me
I would never allow myself to think as irrationally as I do in dreams. My mind is the one thing I can ever be in complete control of…except I can’t. Obviously there is this whole realm of mind existence that I can’t even consciously tap into, let alone control. That fact scares me almost as much as the dreams themselves do. I can’t afford to think like my dream mind does....
