Ahhh, yes... it's Halloween. Man. I've always had good memories of Halloween. I think it's ridiculous that people get into the whole "It's satanic!" issue and don't let their kids go trick-or-treating. Going door-to-door to receive candy is not a big deal. If you want to delve into the arguments of the 'holiday' deriving from witchery or dressing up as characters that have negative influence or whatever, so be it. But seriously. It's just for fun, my goodness. Give me a break. Whatever.
I hear my nephew, who is 17.5 months old, is getting dressed up as a jack-o-lantern [his name is Jack, haha]. Too cute.
So. In conclusion:
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ice Ice Baby
It's so cold in the room my Focused class is being held in... man.
I'm wearing jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and a sweatshirt.
It's not good enough.
My laptop is acting as a lap blanket, though. It helps.
But seriously.
Why is it so cold?
Central's air systems suck.
It's either too hot or too cold, all year.
Boooooo.
I've been in a very complaint-heavy mood lately.
I should probably try and change that... oh, hey Jesus! What up?

Apathetic
I really dislike school right now.
The two classes I thought would be my favorites are my least favorites.
The "Central bubble" is really annoying.
People aren't real.
Teachers lecture just to hear themselves talk.
[Or they like to repeat everything my textbooks say... and that's it. Why bother going to class, if I do the assigned reading?]
I'm also pretty sure that they all got together while planning their courses and discussed how they could make the students' lives miserable by making everything due on the same days, and give tests throughout the same weeks.
NOT HELPING.
I've always loved school.
I've always loved learning.
So this is kind of a big deal.
Something is not right.
Last year I felt this way around March or so. It had been a good year up to that point, but I was feeling weighed down due to a few factors. I suppose that even though I say I'm a relatively stress-free person, I was stressed out quite often. I'm really not stressing out right now, though. I just feel so FRUSTRATED. And incredibly apathetic. So if it's only October, and I'm not even stressing out or anything... what's it going to be like in March this year? I don't even want to think about it.
I'm so ready to be done.
But even if I were to get my associate's, I would have to be here at least one more semester after this year. And I wouldn't know what to do afterward. Work? Raise support? Would a mission agency hire me without a bachelor's degree?
This is so ridiculous.
I want to graduate with a bachelor's. I want to be educated and well-equipped. I simply wish there was another way to do things. Apprenticeship. A prolonged internship. Something. Anything. Just... not school.

Boo!
'Paranormal Activity' is ridiculous.
That's all I've got to say.
I like being scared.
A lot.
More than I should, really.
And truth be told, it wasn't that scary.
Just freaky.
But man.
It was ridiculous.
Lesson learned: Don't mess with a demon.

Blithe
The redhead was right.
[And no, not for once...]
I am happy.
It's a beautiful day.
And God is good.

The Day After
I love being onstage.
I don't like non-scripted things.
Impromptu?
The worst.
I like to prepare a lot, which we didn't do...
... partly on purpose.
So I don't feel like I did my best.
Even so.
I was so happy to be up there.
Still am.
Happy, I mean.
Six best minutes of the year thus far.
Just kidding.
But seriously.
Three cheers.

Butterflies
I was talking to a friend tonight.
I said I missed having butterflies.
In regards to being a bit nervous right before I go onstage...
... and then realizing that the butterflies quickly fade as I begin to perform.
And so I'm really happy right now that I have butterflies in my stomach right now; we're doing a skit tomorrow - it's actually kind of serious, and we've rehearsed it quite a bit - as opposed to the other skits I've done, which were mostly comedic and pretty much impromptu.
So it's true.
I've missed those butterflies.
Life is interesting right now.
I like it.
A lot.
