[Enter stage boring]

Life has been pretty boring lately. I work. I sleep. I go to the library. I frequent classes (just not my Italian one, I despise it). The only thing that spices up my day is sitting outside and doing school work. I've been desperately soaking up the vestiges of the lingering summer sun because it will soon be too cold (windy, and maybe rainy) to camp outside beneath a magnolia tree on campus.

I've committed to begin listening to my iPod (while walking somewhere) more often in an attempt to reconnect myself to the dreamy side of me that flourished this past year in Italy. As I walk, the accompanying music makes me feel as though I'm the character in a movie. I don't know why this is a good thing to me, I have a strong dislike for movies in general and an even stronger ambivalence to actors. I will figure out why feeling like a character in a movie while walking down the street is comforting and inspiring to me...that and I will figure out what the hell I'm doing with this thesis. :)

My life has changed

That's right folks. At 10:14pm, Sunday October 8, 2006, I discovered the wonderful services of www.questia.com. Check it out for yourself. My thesis has just become more do-able. I would say it's my favorite website, but I've also discovered www.ilovealpacas.com
