Hone in on the little things.

I've been blogging a lot these past few days and I really shouldn't be; especially in light of the amount of homework I have. Homework is dumb though. It's all busy work even in college. This conjecture leads me to say that college is dumb. (Goodness that reminds me of the argumentative section in AP English...) I just really wish that I could skip over all the lameness that college is. I just don't think I'm a college kid. Sure I love to sit around and discuss things and I love learning and expanding my knowledge more than anything...but right now it all seems for naught. I don't really know. I think I was supposed to be born back in the times of Aristotle. I would have had to be a man though if I wanted to be a fellow philosopher, I mean Aristotle didn't even consider women fully human. I like being a girl so maybe I wouldn't have wanted to be born back then. Boo...can't have it all. Anyhow I'm sitting here blogging when I should be doing homework and I don't really care. I haven't really blogged about my personal life at all lately. I want to say that it's because nothing all that blog worthy has happened to me, but one of my beliefs that I've put on the back burner this past month is that every little circumstance that occurs in one's life has pertinence and with a different angle of perspective the smallest thing can be the most magical and interesting event. For instance, I go to my average classes everyday at my average school. This statement is factual but if I hone in on little things that have happened in these classes, life becomes quirky and charming. One little thing that happened on Friday is this: I was sitting in my storytelling class waiting for the teacher to commence and I was just kind of looking at the kids around me. I noticed that the guy next to me was eating an apple. Ordinary circumstance right? Wrong. I took a second glance at the guy eating the apple and noticed that the apple was pink in the middle! Hot pink! Never have I ever seen an apple that was hot pink on the interior. For a second I thought I got transported into a Dr. Seuss book; Green Eggs and Ham...Hot Pink Apple. Oi! It was sweet. I asked if he enjoyed it. He said it was alright, but then proceeded to toss it into the garbage with a disgusted grimace on his face two minutes later. The color must have gotten to him. In this same class we are getting sweet t-shirts. I'm really excited because they're using one of my ideas for it...my ideas aren't always acknowledged so to see one made concrete and permanent on fabric is very thrilling for me. We are watching The Princess Bride and the class is called something like, "Storytellers and Raconteurs" (Both words are pretty mean the same thing...) So I said, "We should put R.O.U.S. on the back of the shirt!" Except underneath it write, Raconteurs of Unusual Size! Pretty clever...eh? Yeah...That same Friday I also had an enjoyable class in my writing seminar. It was just a conference day where the prof pulls us out of the room one by one to talk about our paper. Usually he assigns us something to do while people are conferencing. This Friday, however, he said we could leave as soon as he spoke with us. I was praying that I'd be one of the first ones to go, but I was being taught patience that day because I was the third last to go. Looking back though I'm glad I didn't get to go till later. I really liked chatting with everyone in that class. It was really funny too, because the people that were left over at the end were so different from one another. When there was only about four of us left I said, "What movie does this remind me of?" and then in an ironically movie moment situation (since we were talking about movies...) all four of us responded simultaneously, "Breakfast Club!" Ahhh...it makes me smile thinking about it. One of my life goals was to be in a Breakfast Club type situation and upon graduating high school I was very disappointed because I hadn't had one. This one counts even if it was in College and very brief. I'm adding another life goal. For some reason I started noticing storage places for the first time in my life. I probably mentally noted about three or four on my various drives within just the past 24 hours. One of my life goals is to never have enough stuff that I need to store things in a storage place. I understand that sometimes people need them when living in an apartment in between houses or something, but I was thinking about how much of a hassle that would be and I just dearly hope I'm never a part of that.
