A few ways to get rid of the gloomies:
Sleep in
Cut my long, shaggy hair and look like a respectable citizen
Laundry...all 4 loads of it
Intense cleaning
Read a book...just for fun, not for scholastic purposes
Write a friend
Work on my mission papers
Driving around the block to finish a song before I get home
Music music music
But most importantly:
Peanut butter, nutella, banana sandwich and Vanilla Coke Zero

How does it feel?
Tonight, I am:
Tired after going all day on about 4 hours of sleep
Full from delicious Indian food
Appreciative of good music with good lyrics
A little less sure about everything than when I woke up this morning
Mostly comfortable with who I am, just not enough to go out on any limbs
Afraid of letting others down
Deciding to not take my physics test tomorrow, but to procrastinate until Monday
Really sleepy
Listening to my stranger music
But mostly just
In one of those funks.
P.S. Happy 50th post, Mr. Blahg.

Привет из дома
Hi, I'm Jon and this was the sunrise this morning. Standing in our yard, by the picket fence we built this summer. And Yuki is in the second shot. It is completely beyond me why I leave this place.
(Especially when there are puppies falling asleep on my boot.)
More pictures tomorrow, probably with a real camera instead of the cell phone.

Surreptitiously
That is not a fun word to spell, and I have no idea how one would go about saying it.
Have you ever hit a complete brick wall with your school work? I'm not talking about "I really, really don't want to do this junk" kind of wall, but sitting down and being completely unable to accomplish what you set out to do?
Winter semester blows. Sometimes (when I'm not thinking about the possibility of losing my scholarship) I wish I was the kind of student that could just not do work and still sleep at night.
LAS, failure isn't in my blood (the last time I had it tested.) Failure doesn't run in my family, though I do have the same obnoxious mole on my neck that my mother and her mother have. Failure isn't stamped across my forehead- that would probably be against the dress and grooming section of the honor code. Failure isn't my middle name - Alan is. "Tramps like us, baby we were born to run" is not my personal motto, it is just a line from a Bruce Springsteen tune. Sure, sometimes I imagine how I would escape every building I enter in case of a large, stylized fight sequence, but the team of doctors insisted that I'm not really an ex-spy with amnesia, I just live a really average life. Most importantly, this time could most definitely have been spent doing homework, but blogging is just so much more fun.
That's it. I'm unplugging the router.
