I went to see the New York Chamber Soloists last night and they were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! They say you discover things about yourself in college. I've discovered that I LOVE music!! You hear all those emo kids saying, "yeah, music is my life." But I'm not talking about loving music in the sense that I always have an earbud stuck in my ear, screaming the latest Top 40 into my brain. I don't really know how to describe it. All I can think of to say is that it's beautiful and it makes me happy, but that's so inadequate and indescriptive. It's the only way I can think to say it, though. They're performing again tonight and I'm so excited!!!! After last night's performance, I played piano for a bit, and then started home. But I looked up, and the sky was PERFECT!!! Perfect shade of midnight blue, perfect round moon, perfect clouds. I laid down in the grass in the Spori quad and just looked at the sky. It was really windy and cold, but the sky was so beautiful, and no one else was appreciating it, so someone had to. I watched the thin clouds rush across the moon, and the moon reflected off of the water droplets and made a rainbow halo around itself. And the stars were so bright, and you could tell through glimpses in between the clouds that the sky was clean and clear and cold. So beautiful. I just lay there for ten minutes, enjoying a private moment with space. Does anyone else ever do this? Just appreciate life? Take a moment and notice everything around you. Life is amazing.
It's really pretty outside again. Big puffy cotton clouds with a clear blue sky. Crisp, but not biting, air. Pure, cold sunlight.
I woke up freezing, but in another good mood. My roomie stayed up too late watching shows on her computer, so she skipped class--AGAIN--and I didn't have to deal with her disgusting breath and patronizing-ness and easy irritability(we're in the same class). I swear I can feel hate arrows coming out of her and piercing me whenever I'm around her. It doesn't help that she never eats breakfast and isn't able to handle staying up late. She's been skipping classes a lot recently because she's been staying up too late. And prolly 'cuz she's lazy. Oh! Story: we usually don't empty the trash can until it's spilling onto the floor. A couple days ago I had moved the trash can from underneath a counter to right next to the stove, because it was more convenient. I asked, "it's alright if that stays there, right?" And she said,"no, it's okay, as long as we empty our trash more often! It's really annoying, guys!" This doesn't sound bad, but the tone in which she said it really bothered me. With just her tone she made it sound like SHE was the only one who ever emptied the trash, poor her, pity her. So not true though. But I still would have been cool with this if it weren't for one other thing: SHE NEVER FREAKING RINSES HER DISHES!!!! Either that or she puts them under the faucet for five seconds and calls it clean. And THEN she puts the dirty dishes in the same place as the rinsed dishes. THIS bothers me more than anything. This isn't just laziness. This is her being so spoiled at home that she doesn't know how to properly wash dishes. This is her thinking that the dishes magically get done, or that the dishwasher can scrub away layers of crap. So she complains about the trash can even though she leaves her dishes for everyone else to clean. Spoiled, selfish brat thinks that if she picks up a speck of dust it means she can complain about other people not cleaning.
Now that I got that out, from now on I'm just gonna suck it up and do the dishes. I was thinking, "well, I'm not gonna be nice and do the dishes if no one else will, because that's just not fair." But I can't wait for the world to change and then change myself. I've gotta start it. If I want people to be nice and do their part I have to be nice and do my part first. Besides, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my bretheren, ye have done it unto me." It's like my mom said, "you're not cleaning up your sister's stuff for her, you're cleaning it to help me."
One of my roommates is picking her nose and eating her boogers right in front of us. She's trying to be sly about it. SO disgusting.
Well, that's the end of my thoughts for now. Ciao!!!!!
