| My stomach is a crotchety old man named Hank.
Usually, he sits there and gets fed. Occasionally, he grumbles. He gets really mad when he's too fat and starts poking his cane around.
But when he's stressed (read: I'm stressed) he can throw a temper tantrum as bad as any 2 year old could. He absolutely refuses everything and starts whirling that cane around. Think master ninja with a staff.
Needless to say, things get unpleasant in tough times.

| I don't know if I've ever written them down, but it seems like a good idea.
So, 2009:
1. Do well on finals, get good grades.
2. Spend the summer at an internship/studying abroad
3. Be neater, cleaner.
4. Work out at least 4/7 days of the week.
5. Learn Python.
6. Get more familiar with PHP and Javascript.
7. Take apart the broken computer and put it back together again.
8. Read the following books: Sense & Sensibility, Tartuffe, No Exit, The Brothers Karamazov, Pygmalion, Fall of the House of Usher, Great Expectations, Tale of Two Cities (...how is that going to happen?).
9. Live efficiently; focus 100% on whatever it is I am doing at the moment.
10. Love and love freely.

| a moment of reprieve,
a heaven between hells
a spot of light
in a bottomless well
a well that pricks
a well that throbs
like the pulsating heart
of a vindictive mob

| Of course it's like this. He's human, like the rest of us are - which means he acts not on the existence of possibility but on the presence of probability. But probability is relative, just like everything else. So there is always the possibility that a probability is actually only a possibility and also the possibility that he may act on a possibility. There's the risk.

| So senioritis has worked its way into most of the senior class by now. I would be lying if I said I weren't suffering from it to some degree. But still, I think maybe it shouldn't be that way. I'm not saying everyone should break out the textbooks and sleep with them; I'm just saying we should respect our own time, at least.
Look at it this way: we can't cut every day of school from now until the end of the school year. It's undoable. So basically, you HAVE to go to school. That's about 6-7 hours of your day. Now if you're at home with nothing to do, you might spend the rest of the day on Facebook or playing video games or whatever. And if you enjoy that, then I say go for it. But if you're like me and find that sometimes you're freaking bored with Facebook and spider solitaire and your parents won't let you out to hang out with friends, it probably won't hurt to read, say, 10 pages of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. And maybe it'd make some of that 6-7 hours you spent in school somewhat worthwhile.
