Oh No! School?

I just realized that I have exactly one week from today before classes start. That's not fun to think about, but I think I'll be okay. I'm really going to have to do a fair amount of prioritizing being that I'm taking calculus this semester, but I'll do my best.

I didn't really do much today, which was nice. I slept in for a while and then all of us went to eat lunch with Viking at Arby's. After that I played chess for a while and then took a nap. When I woke up I went to leadership training at the university which was nice because they gave us a free meal, and I now have an even greater appreciation for "free". I was amazed at how many people where there that I didn't realy recognize. I mean I could scan the crowd and see familiar faces, but for the most part I guess they were new sophomores. I'll probably be even more distant this year, living off campus and all. Who knows? I'm just anxious to finish strong.

I've been wondering about my passions lately though. I want to see what not being an RA does for me. I think the job jaded me in a way that made me forget who I was under those cloths. I'll be working a lot this year and tending to my education, but none of that lasts 24/7. As an RA people are always watching you do your job. If you take two steps to the left or right you can lose control and lose your job. I'm glad I don't have to live under that anymore. I'm glad that I can experience my last year of college in a completely new light.

I guess you might be wondering about our current status with the brown recluse pests. Well, none of us were bitten last night and we haven't seen any today so that's a good sign. We've all been trying to keep things extra clean so that they have fewer places to hide, but you can only organize so much when six grown men live in a house built for five. The exterminator will be coming tomorrow morning, so that will be good. It's funny though. I've always had this fear of spiders crawling on me while I sleep. Sometimes I'll be half awake at night and I'll think I see a spider lowering on a web down infront of my face. I freak out and start swatting at it, but it's not really there. As for last night, though, I fell asleep like a rock while all of the other guys tossed and turned and didn't sleep well at all.

Well... I'm going to sleep now with my spider friends. Hope all is well with ye. Peace and love.
