Perspective.

It's interesting how something as strictly regulated as time always feels so irregular. For example, you rush madly through the hour you have to finish your exam and it flies right by, and then you watch the seconds tick during a tedious hour long lecture which seems to last an eternity. How extraordinarily contradictory to the very way we've constructed time.

Also, it's interesting how one can see the very same scenario in two drastically different ways. I walk to class and for no particular reason am enjoying life and the very moment; the cold crisp air and wind rustling the leaves exhilarates me and I am filled with a general sensation of well-being as I watch the hazy moon and consider myself: a student in the prime of my youth, thirsting for knowledge, the best years of my life.
The lecture is tedious and boring and the guest speaker goes way too fast and eliminates any possibility of us writing down, nevermind actually absorbing, the material. I leave feeling drained and worn down. Although nothing outside has changed, on the walk home the cold is penetrating and the wind harsh. The leaves seem dirty and gnarled and unwelcoming. Thoughts of "will I ever get home?" are popular. The whole atmosphere has completely shifted.

The whole world completely changes depending on our personal state and attitude. It's very interesting. Or maybe it's just pms.

I wish I could spend the rest of my life doing nothing but eating junk food and watching television. Maybe after a few years I would even regain the will to read of my own accord. (That's a lie, I'm actually quite enjoying reading dear old Frankenstein again for English, but aside from that.)

I love when the train people get bored.. "Please step away from the doors, the doors will be closing, the doors will be closing, DO NOT CHARGE AT THE DOORS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW CLOSING!!!!" hehe

Oh, I found another one! Talent and looks seem to walk hand in hand with band guys.. I can't remember his name because it's something in french unfamiliar to me.. he's not in my normal line of vision but he stands at the front to do a (sop. sax) feature for one of the songs..mmmm.. this all sounds pretty creepy doesn't it? What, I'm not allowed to enjoy the view while I'm at band? lol I'm reminded of Danielle and Mo at the festivals and the scouting out of the hot band geeks :)
