Musings

I feel like yesterday didn't happen. I didn't get out of bed until 1pm, then I worked from 3-8:30. I did, though, go see Hall Pass at 10pm by myself, which was great (although I'd suggest closing your eyes for a while after you see Owen Wilson wake up in the hot tub). I really enjoy going to the movies alone sometimes. I was in a weird mood yesterday - you know the kind when your hormones are just freaking out and you interpret every situation as people treating you negatively even though, rationally, you know it's not true? That's where I was. At least I've learned to pinpoint when it happens, so I can just seclude myself until it goes away so I don't cause a fight or say something I don't mean. Also, I had a headache all day, which always makes things worse. Anyway, today was tons better. About two hours ago, Bri, Lori and I went on a bike ride around Ruston. I learned that it's not that bad of a ride to Frothy from home, which is great! I also learned that it's a bad idea to ride the bike I have now - the brakes hardly work! The back brakes don't work at all, and the front ones don't work well and literally sound like someone trying to learn to play the trumpet. The third thing I learned is that it's a much better work out for me to ride a real bike around town instead of going to spin class!

I'm reading East of Eden so I can go to a book club at the end of April. I wanted some motivation to keep reading for fun after school had ended. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Steinbeck is a lot more poetic than I expected! F. Scott Fitzgerald is the same way. Love it.
