ah, and so here i 
find myself
halfway through my 
junior year,
though technically 
a senior with all 
the credits i've 
taken so far...

as i write this, 
i'm in that 
moment between 
thanksgiving
and finals week that 
seems to drag on 
forever, but always
goes too fast to get 
everything done.  
christmas shopping,
reading, papers, tests, 
hanging out with 
friends because i wont
see them until
january...

i've been writing a 
lot this semester, 
writing for myself, or
rather, for a writing 
group made up of 
several friends... 
"tuesday nights at 
matt's" is what i've 
taken to calling it... 
but no matter what it 
is or what its
called, it has 
motivated me in a 
way no other thing 
or person has done 
before. and it feels 
great. it makes me 
want to start a 
section on here 
of all my recent
writing... give me 
another forum to get 
comments and get my 
work out there... 
maybe i'll do that.

but not tonight... 
just writing 
this now is my way 
of further
procrastinating... 
today was supposed 
to be a productive 
day of writing and 
researching and
reading and 
studying...
all i did was watch 
sex and the city
(my latest addiction), 
drink chai, and make 
blueberry pancakes.
two big papers due 
this week, a test 
monday, another on 
wednesday, three or 
four finals and 
another paper due 
the next week...

but then its all 
over and i'm 
off to Bellingham for 
christmas and new 
years, then home for
two weeks to work 
and serve jury duty.

junior year... 
junior year #1, 
as i plan to be at 
USM for 5 years.  
in high school, junior
year was the best 
year... here too 
i think... so involved, 
so connected... 
it all feels right.

I finally got around to updating this, so you no longer
have to see my old address and my old lacrosse schedule
and my old ranting about freshman year being over...
because its junior year and i have an apartment and i'm single
and... god, who knows... but its good to get this all straight!
