A couple of things

• This is the 50th post.
  
• I am now twenty years old.
• Mollie and Milena had their cooperative birthday/end of the school year party today.
• Tomorrow, I'm off to Cozumel with my dad, step mom, and Devin for some Scuba :)

More like two couples, I suppose.

I've been thinking a little bit more about journalism as well, but this is somewhat of an unfounded pattern of thought since I've never had any sort of journalistic experience. Ah well.

So long!

Today is my first day

of summer. Sumer 2008. This is the summer that I need to set my life on its path. This is the summer that will jumpstart everything that will follow.

In five minutes, I will be writing.

Wish me luck.

When I typed in

"Cozumel Diving" into the Google Image Search, this is the first picture that came up.

Oh boy.

I'm in the position where I can

place a bet on myself (and all my qualities as a productive person) or on the definite (though small and usual) payoff. It's difficult, and the frustrating part is that my ego is just large enough (understatement, you say?) that I don't actually feel too unbelievably horrified in placing the bets on me.

I'm like a fair hand in poker. The world could be bluffing me. I can't really tell.

I've never been too good at poker. My granny and I always used to play for pennies.

I enjoy

the paintings of Manet, Van Gogh, Breugel, Picasso (some of them, anyway), and Goya. I'm partial to the sculptures of Bernini and Michelangelo.

Isn't it a little crazy

how quickly the last few weeks have whipped by? One day seemed to be the next and its next was as the three days later. I don't try to make sense, I try to make a feeling. It is late, later. I wrote two papers today, and with that have concluded my written assignments for this semester. By essay-writing standards, I am now a junior in college. Halfway gone. Half of it to come!

Exhaustion has been a common theme. Exhaustion and bad-for-me food. I want to get my hands on some cholesterol-lowering medication for its preemptive effects. It helps keep it down.

As per the Jasper Johns - I know it's kind of gimmicky, but I still think it would be cool to travel through all fifty states before I die. I'll have to put that on the list.

Good night.

Welcome

to the month of May.
