Eradicate All Rational Thought

I’ve got a lot of things hanging over my head these days. My senior project proposal, the application process for an internship this summer (I’m still on the fence about that one). Typical class work. Buzzsaw Haircut, worrying about SJP. I have a couple articles that I should really think about sending to magazines. I need to get published, I need to figure out what I’m doing with my life.

I need some relief. This weekend I’m heading home, to take the MINI to Keeler and get it serviced. I rolled over 12,000 miles the other day.

I think I’ll take a detour on Saturday and do a MINI rally in New Jersey. It’ll be a hell of a lot of driving – four hours there, four hours to home, and who knows how many hours of rallying – but it might be a nice way to relax.

And then the weekend after this one I’ll be going down to the SOA protest in Georgia. My third time, I didn’t go last year because I was in Europe. That’s a whole lot of driving too.

The week after that is Thanksgiving break. I won’t have classes but I’ll still have all of this shit hanging over my head. My parents will be coming, we’ll have Thanksgiving dinner at my place. I bought the Tofurkey yesterday. mm.

A freelancing graduate of Ithaca came and spoke to our Magazine Writing class today. He’s doing well. It made me depressed.
