I'm Ready for that Wild and Reckless Breeze

second semester, senior year. So many things going down right now. This week: acceptance (hopefully) from UMD, advancing (hopefully) to semi-finals for Nova scholarship, senior retreat, new classes (including Dan Christian's C.S. Lewis, I'm so excited), getting reamed by end of semester/exam grades (I got an email yesterday telling me that I'm lucky I didn't get a 0% on a psych assignment). Most of all though, it's a fresh start. Grades start to lose meaning. I have only 8 (?) months until college. I still have no idea where I'll be heading. Swarthmore, Hopkins, UMD, Nova, GW, Bucknell all sound fantastic. I'm also heavily addicted to coffee; during exam week I averaged 4 cups a day. Now I'm cutting back to 1-2, and I'm gonna have to go cold turkey on retreat. Whatever, I just get really tired without it. After 8 hours of sleep yesterday, I fell asleep at 1pm, about 4 hours after getting up. I'm a little fucked. Also, when I do drink coffee, my face twitches madly whenever I get nervous. I gotta get off that shit. Shouldn't be too tough though. Fuck it's delicious though. I'm drinking a cup right now.

Another thing: 2010 is pretty damn good so far music-wise. The Monitor might just be better than anything from 2009, and Spraynard put out a damn fine album as well. Put that together with another Gaslight album, possibly another Hold Steady album. 2009 was a pretty goddamn amazing year, but I think 2010 is going to top it. Fuck, I just know something disastrous is going to happen to fuck it up for me. Ah, well, I'll just live it out.
