Three hours spent working on homework this morning. At least it was more relaxing than doing it at night. Everybody is going to hate me because I didn't have to go to my internship class this morning. I hope that is okay. I will be going on Thursday and Friday just like everybody else. All it did today was give me extra homework time.

One of my friends wrote a long, drunken rant on his webpage. He thinks it's embarassing but I thought it was brilliant. I've never been able to achieve that kind of honesty as a writer. Maybe I need to get drunk in order to be honest and let all my true feelings out. Do I even have true feelings? I've never really been sure.

Bob Dylan's "Blonde On Blonde" is good but all the songs are very samey. Maybe I need to listen more.

Today was a 7 1/2 hour drive from Miami to Gainesville, so I'm tired. I sat in traffic for 30 minutes because they wouldn't waive the $2.00 turnpike toll north of Orlando like they usually do. I did run into my best friend and his mom at one of the plazas, which was nice.

Did I learn anything this weekend? I guess I learned (or further confirmed) the value of being around people I care about and who care about me. Not many of those people in Gainesville. That's my own fault but I still appreciated the holiday.

Two assignments down, three to go. If anyone is keeping track, that's the three big ones.

I really enjoyed the BB assignment this week (about our favorite teachers). I should write an essay about Mr. Tuohy.

I haven't listened to any cool indie music lately so there's not much to recommend. I made Big Star my BB avatar so I might as well recommend #1 Record / Radio City. Really happy sad music.
