I almost did something rather
amusing. I decided to write up a day log for today so I typed in
January 28, 2001 in the search line, which gave me the
node. As I was looking at what others had
written up about
today, I realized most of them were talking about the end of the
weekend and superbowl sunday, which got me rather
confused, it being a monday and all. I was just going to ignore these facts but then noticed that all the
writeups had been writting in the year
2001, and that it is in fact the year 2002.
Maybe I'm in denial about the year
2002, too me anyway, the year just sounds stupid. We had
1999, which was awesome in itself let alone have a song named after it. Then we had
2000 which was our first year in the 2000s then 2001 which
definately told us we were in the new mellenium (I don't care if a person thinks it was either 2000 or 2001 that was the beginning, but either way definatley by 2001). So, now in 2002,
what is there?
Anyway, my
annoyance of the
technical details of the
calender system is not why I came here today. I am, right now,
procrastinating the tons of work I must eventually start and complete by the end of this week. And how best to procrastinate then
write up a
day log and tour around my favorite site,
everything2.
Even more, it is one of the most beautiful days I have seen for a while. I am in
Ithaca NY, attending
Cornell Univeristy. When I decided on this
university my friends laughed telling me I was crazy and had I heard about the
winters there? I nodded and said yes, I had heard of the
winters but that I'm sure it's not that bad. Well, apparently I'm right, since it's nearing the end of
January and it feels like spring.
Granted, we are supposed to get snow later on this week, but I mean
sheesh.
My friend from
Hawaii thinks he was jipped since he wanted the snow, it's not fair, he says. I mean, not that I'm
complaining since I love this weather, but I have a warm parka that has not been worn and was quite expensive waiting, folded in my closet.
So things seem to be going pretty well so far, I don't have too much work... yet. And my
friends are awesome. I'm still working on some boy issues but those never get resolved anyways. I'm about to give up, in fact.
So, I hope
everything had a good
Monday! Enjoy the rest of the week!
From Ithaca, with love,
Queequeg.
