Best day

I pretty much agree with everything you said in your last post, mostly the parts about talent envy. Usually I avoid that sort of thing by passively avoiding people around me who are talented and only concentrating on talented people from afar, like on YouTube, because if I don't know them I don't get as depressed.

So today has been pretty awesome as far as days go. Classes were cancelled in the morning because of this college function, so I went to get donuts with a few people in my hall, and then when we got back I went and printed out some sheet music. It cost $0.60. I feel robbed. However, it was totally worth it because I went straightaway to Utt (for a music building, it doesn't have a very musical name) and got to work! You should know that the vigor with which I set forth was entirely inspired by your awesome and unexpected video that you posted this week of you Gagaing it up. I am working on something similar but it will take a little while to put together. Anyway, I was so involved in learning this one song that before I knew it, two and a half hours had gone by. I rarely get so lost in something that I completely lose track of the time, but it happened today and it was great.

One of my main issues with nerdy shirts is that if I wore them no one would understand the nerd in-jokes. I have met a few nerds since I was here but they are all nerdy about things I don't understand. So I figure it's pretty unlikely that I'll meet someone who's nerdy about things like musicians on YouTube or British and Asian television or writing stories about all the adventures they wish they could have. If I do meet that person, though, I'll probably be so happy that I'll propose immediately.

The song you linked was beatlicious. I am putting it on my mp3 player straightaway. I have a playlist called Dance, and everything in there is phantasmagorical. I think I used that word slightly incorrectly, but I don't care one bit.

I can't help liking school. The weird thing is that most of the time it's not the actual school that I love, only the good feeling that comes when I do an undeserving amount of work and still get an A. Sometimes I think that colleges sacrifice a lot of potential smartypants in order to make sure that no one gets left behind. That's why all the lower-level classes are obscenely easy. It's sort of depressing. Another think I like about school is the fact that I'm here, but since I don't have any obligations here, I get to spend all my time engrossed in my own betterment. So far it's working out really well. That probably means I need to get a job. Also I'm thinking about joining this honor society. They don't really do anything but it will probably look good on my resume. Thoughts?
