Being rational. I feel like my mind is always on this idea that I need to be an overachiever and double-major and get good grades and work hard and invest and save and blah blah blah, but then my heart is like I’d rather just be a beach bum and eat candy all day and wander around doing weird little dances and singing stupid old songs and I’ll just sleep on couches and wear sweats and just roam the world without any worries. 

So, do I spend my last summer enjoying adventures or working to save for the future?

Thursday nights call for sweet tea and chicken nuggets, it’s become a tradition after my sessions and before Friday morning dance classes. The one thing that really scares me about moving away is losing all these little traditions. I guess it’s time to make new ones, eh?

Yeah, yeah. Why are you awake?

but instead I have music blaring and am dancing around the living room.

Yes.

Your problems, in the end, give you strength.

Yeah, who needs it. 

I’m leaving for LA at 8. It’s almost 3. I have yet to pack, or finish my essay that’s due tomorrow. Oh bother.

So, I’m most likely transferring here. Most likely as I am unless something goes wrong. The one thing I am worried about is how it’s a commuter school so it’s going to be harder to meet people. Lames. Eh, I’m getting nervous already. But excited. Excited nervous. 

Any advice?

I drive to much and sleep to little. I’ve slept 6 hours this weekend, and driven to Elk Grove, Sacramento, Arden, McClellan, Natomas, Davis, Roseville, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Either way, life is enjoyable. I may be racing from place to place but at least I like what I am doing. Oh, productivity! 

How’s your weekend been?

One Red Paperclip 

For my internet marketing class we are reading about this guy who used Craiglists to trade stuff until he got a house. He started with a freaking red paper clip! (I’ve heard the story before, but this is step by step what he got). SO AWESOME. 

-Trade clip for fish shaped pen, 

-pen for a doorknob shaped like E.T., 

-doorknob for Coleman stove (the guy needed a doorknob for his stove top expresso maker)

-stove for red generator (marine sergeant needed stove for his drive across country)

-generator for “instant party” (keg, Budweiser sign) 

-party for snowmobile (from a radio talk show in Quebec)

-snowmobile for roundtrip airfare for two to British Columbia, a day of skiing and meals 

-trip for a van 

-van for a recording contract with 30 hours of recording time, transportation/hotels, and a record pitch with radio stations. 

-recording contract for a year’s free rent in a furnished apartment in Arizona plus roundtrip airfare

-rent for a afternoon with Alice Cooper

-afternoon for motorized Kiss snow globe

-snow globe for roundtrip airfare anywhere in the world, hotel, and speaking role in movie (traded to a snow-globe collecting actor)

-movie role for the world’s largest paperclip, a key to the town, and a freaking HOUSE. 

That dude is a genius.

Why oh why is nobody else awake at 2 am?

I’ve spent so long just wanting to get out, but I don’t really know where I want/need to go. Just away … somewhere that can open my mind, give me new experiences, adventures. I do love adventures … but where do I transfer to?

This is my first day of kindergarten, I remember wearing that. The next year my school started using uniforms.
