Everything feels less stressful in the morning, because, of course, you have all day to do it.
Even though I'm running on an hour or so of sleep, and I still have an entire article to write (that I think I'm going to have to write with inadequate sources), it's all right, because it's only noon and it's sunny and bright here.
That's one of the best parts about this area- it's already getting fucking cold at night, and sometimes we get rain at night/early morning, but we get these beautiful sunshine-filled days that should continue throughout the winter... no more seasonal affect disorder, yay!
I am (strangely, because it's probably cold and grey there now) feeling really nostalgic for my old school and my old friends. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I miss them a lot. I feel like it's kind of emotional/psychological growing pains- I stepped out of Simon's Rock, out of dormitory living with an unlimited meal plan, and away from th security of a close-knit group of prettygirls pretty fucking fast. Talking with my professor Reuben today (at least I'm still going to a school where everyone calls professors by their first name) I realized that Prescott lacks a good curriculum in critical theory, which was one of my favorite things about Simon's Rock.
Then again, it was also the worst thing- Rockers are all theory (and drugs) and no action.
But I hope it isn't a bad sign that three weeks into the semester (holy shit it's already been three weeks) I'm eagerly anticipating winter break, and spending a couple days at the Rock before heading home. ¶ 11:59 AM
