so i'm back at school. whoopie! had to get up at 7:30 in the bloody morning today... not my idea of a good time. on the plus side, i don't have any classes tomorrow so i don't have to get out of bed at all if i don't want to! it's weird being back at school... there are moments when i feel like last semester was years ago, and others that it was yesterday. i had a great break though. i got to spend some quality time relaxing with some old friends... and some new ones. i met erik's "quasi-girlfriend" (hahaha)... she's awesome. i seriously can't imagine a girl better suited for him than jenn. it's kinda crazy seeing him in love and all that craziness. he's finally growing up. *sniff* i'm so happy for him though. he deserves the best... and as far as i can tell, jenn is it. it's just too bad they're on the other side of the state. i miss hanging out with erik and i'd really love to be able to get to know jenn better. i just might have to go visit or something.

my first day of classes has gone pretty well so far. my computer class should be rather easy, and i think my advanced comp class is actually going to be fun. i have social stratification and black women writers tonight. strat should be a good time. i wonder if dr. schaffer will really dress up like the grim reaper like he said he would...

on that note, i will leave you with my new favorite green day song (it's called "holiday")...

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line
To find the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag
A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zeig Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause Just cause because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
