That's when You know...

When plans change and you're not going to see her anymore
and nothing else you could possibly plan seems nearly as fun

When you're singing to all your favourite love songs out loud
but it seems like you're saying the words to her, and her alone

When it doesn't seem like your day has started yet
and it doesn't seem like you've done anything, until you've seen her

When everything else just seems less entertaining,
but the intrigue of talking to her grows with every passing conversation

That's when you know...


So the other day I was sitting in front of a computer screen, putting the finishing touches on a philosophy paper (due 15 minutes later). While checking for coherency, I unfocused my eyes and came upon seeing a smudge on the monitor screen which looked like a soft white cloud against the reflection of the blue sky behind me that I now noticed on the screen. I was suddenly hit with a feeling of nostalgia, thinking back to when I was smaller. I remembered how at this time of day I would be looking outside the window of my classroom, thinking about the simple things: What is mom gonna cook for lunchtime today? When I come back to school, am I gonna play soccer or Red Ass? I suddenly remembered recess time. I would lay down in the grass, look up at the sky, and as the clouds passed by, I would think, and it felt good to think. I felt safe in my thoughts. More times it would feel like there was nothing between me and the sky. Then the recess bell would ring and I'd go back to class.

The bell rang in my head and I finished the paper and went to the lecture. I looked over a finance assignment, and then went to the finance lecture. After that, it was all Price Thoery. I studied for hours upon hours with my economics buddies. Played in a soccer tournament. Lost horribly but hardly cared. Then it was more studying. Finally the exam came, by the end of it my brain hurt, but I emerged victorious (hopefully). Such was my week.

I've got one exam left, and an assignment, and then I can breathe again. I'm supposed to go out with Joanna that weekend for Valentine's day. Should be an arite time. Maybe the year of the monkey won't be so bad after all, I've actually got plans for V-day. Sure she's just a friend, but they're plans nonetheless. Anyway, I've really got nothing of value to say. Today has flown by and I haven't even started to study yet. Better get to it!
