| Decisions, DecisionsA friend of mine once said, quite crudely during a conversation about the gym and working out:
"Think how much better you'd look if you didn't drink or smoke weed"
I've never really noticed how many calories alcohol contains until Mike told me. Even worse is when you consume alcohol at night cus then you don't have a whole day to burn it off. Dancing franticly at the clubs doesn't work for me when I'm drunk. It usually ends in a messy night or crappy morning. So for the past ten days or so, I've been making it my goal to not have any alcohol and so far I've been sticking to the plan. We'll see how long that lasts, but at least for now, I don't have to spend as much time in the gym.
Right now I'm writing a midterm essay due tomorrow at 5 PM for my Apocalyptic Compulsion class (I won't bore or ramble with details since I could talk on and on about the subject). It's not a very hard essay to write, which tends to be a problem for me. I find myself much more motivated and attentive when essays and research papers in general are challenging. I love learning new things and a challenging assignment tends to teach me new things by forcing me to think more critically or do more research. On the other hand, a relatively easy prompt to me means I can slack off and always write it later since it's so easy. Mike always responds, "if it's so easy, then just write it." I don't think he's ever procrastinated academically in his life so he just doesn't get it. The feeling of getting the assignment out of the way is great, but at the same time, I'd rather feel laid-back, than rushed. I also find that the longer I procrastinate on writing, the more time I have to think and thus provide more analysis in the paper. End rant here.
I came across this card. I'm not sure I'd agree with it given my current mood and academic responsibilities:

| Religion Can Be FunProfessor who shall remain anonymous:
"Alright we're done talking about the Gospels. Now let's move onto Paul and his epistles.
*Looks at clock*
We've only got around 20 minutes left until class is over.
Ok, let's see if we can do Paul in 20 minutes.
[pause]
Don't take that out of context."

| Brian Keeps Hassling Me First off, it's been so long since I've written an entry on here that I couldn't find the link to post a new entry. I used to click "lawrenceonline" in the upper right corner to display a "post new entry" link on the left column of the page. Apparently, that feature has disappeared.
Anywho, much has happened since I last posted. Winter quarter has ended and spring quarter has begun, which means I'm closer to graduation. As great as it sounds, I still have at least another three years of graduate school. Arg. Classes right now are going well. I originally enrolled in four, but dropped one, a class on Futurism, since I felt I had learned all there is to Futurism within the first two weeks of class. The class's emphasis is also on the literary and artistic expressions of the movement, aspects of which I have no interest. Anyway, as you guys can imagine, my academic life has been much easier with one class every day (except for Mondays). Don't hate.
Spring break was fun. Mike and I went to Oahu for about a week. We did just about everything on the island except for snorkeling. After renting a convertible and driving throughout the island, I definitely found the north shores a bit better than the touristy Honolulu. The scenery was so picture-perfect and surreal, yet relaxing at the same time. Anyway, here are some pictures of the trip:
This was probably the best mochi I've ever had. There you go Brian.

| Lesson Learned Yesterday:
Never drink four pints of beer and then take the bus home because you might doze off, only to wake up and discover you've missed your stop by around a mile. Walking back is a bitch when it's dark.
Btw, the beers were Arrogant Bastard, O'Briens, Pizza Port Stout, and uhh I don't remember the fourth one. Heh. But at least I didn't drive home?
