Take this magic, put it in a basket, float it down a river, not knowing if you'll ever see it again. That is, unless I keep track of where it's going.

Oh man. My brain hasn't been under this much stress in years.

One reason is easily understandable: it's finals week. I don't fully comprehend that I have thus completed 4 final exams, 3 of which lasted me between 2.5 hours and the maximum allowed time for taking the finals, 3 hours. I'm tired.

The other reason is something I don't really want to talk about here. It's so strange, and I feel that most of the people around me would disapprove of what's going on. I'll mention it later probably.

I should write more in this when I get home. I sort of forgot this blog existed, and by that I mean that it sort of sunk back further into my head.

Geez, I forgot what it was like to study diligently. I haven't focused myself this effectively since I've been at college. I've already filled up 12 pages, front and back with drawings of mechanisms of reactions of organic molecules. And somehow, listening to music is helping. Usually I have a very one-track mind, because I'm easily distracted. Or maybe the other way around. Either way, each statement is true in itself. The reason I'm studying so much is because I have two exams tomorrow evening. I took a practice exam, got a B+ on it. I think I'll study just a bit more to bring it up to in A! Because if any class needs a boost right now, it's chem. I got a song stuck in my head, from when the internet duo Rhett and Link sang a song at the drive thru at a Taco Bell to place their order...it was more about the song, though. Check it out at their Youtube channel, www.youtube.com/rhettandlink . Those guys have serious talent. More than some crappy more popular people on there.
I'm turning my focus away from Youtube and more on friends, studies, and life. Oh, and there is also BlogTV. I think I'm more interested in BlogTV than Youtube, with the exception of a certain few people on Youtube. I go onto these websites not only for the lolz and self-indulgent entertainment purposes. I go onto these websites to learn about people's life stories. Have you ever wondered about people, where they come from, what makes them tick, and what their life stories are. Do you ever wonder about the people around you at a public place, like a mall, or even go to the extent of going "people watching"? I do, and that's the reason why I love these websites so much-- because unlike TV and movies, the messages conveyed by these people are honest, come straight from the heart, and are manifestations of the characters and individualities of the people on there. That's what I like about Youtube and Blogtv. While it is a mode of entertainment, it's also a medium through which we are able to connect with people all around the world.
I've been studying too much. But there is still more to be done. I've barely done anything for my physics exam which is also tomorrow. Ffffuck. Just gotta keep chugging.

I rediscovered my journal today. You know, one of those with a cover and actual pages. That's what I was writing in recently. So for all you folks who actually follow this (1 person I actually know), I'm going to write stuff here. It'll probably be a lot of small thoughts incoherently forced together, but it's the small things that make life worth living. It should be taking in the small things for enjoyment, and trying to put out big things to be creative. Though small bursts of creativity are important too. Like writing in this blog or helping a child learn the letter "K", or telling your friend that you like her new haircut.
I'm fucking sick and tired of being fucking sick and tired. I've had this cold for 5 entire days now. It began Wednesday night when I found that it hurt to swallow. By Friday night it had grown into an all-out nasty cold, complete with chest and nasal congestion, so bad that I didn't want to fall asleep because I couldn't breathe adequately.
I figured out a sweet dream I have for accomplishing:
-Get to know people on Blogtv
-Get a car & good video camera
-Go on road trips to meet the awesome people
-Document the travels on camera and make a Youtube Travel Channel

That would be an awesome thing to do. And if it's blogtv, I can see the people on camera so I know for sure it's not some 583-year old rapist.

I haven't sifted through my friends list on Facebook in way too long. Every few months or so, I would go through my whole list of friends in alphabetical order and send something to all of the good ones. It's been 11 months since I last did that. Fail.

Blogtv.com is awesome. It's a site where you broadcast yourself publicly and let people come into your show and chat with you. You can also cohost people (though it tends to be lagalicious when you do that). It's great for learning about people & where they come from, and it also helps you build charisma and fight your fear of people.

My best friends' names are chloraseptic, Halls, and Kleenex until I get better. My body has finally started working to get rid of the damn illness. Can I be healed by tomorrow morning plz?

OH- when I was lying in bed with my spirits lost because of the irritating-ass cold, I put together 13 hypothetical road trips, ranging in length from 10 days to 8 weeks, covering all 10 Canadian provinces and 48 contiguous states and most all the things I am currently intent on visiting in each of them. I wonder if I can go on all 13 of them, one per each year starting.......whenever I get a job? That's what I want to do when I get older: Get a small, quaint place--I don't need that much space--and save my money up for big road excursions.

I invented a new idea. It's called "copisomiotbagitmawoll," which stands for "coalition of people in support of making it known that being a geek is the most awesome way of living life," of which the members would be referred to as "copis" for short. I'm going to make a video about it.

I have to teach the chill'uns tomorrow. Hopefully I don't gag on anyone.

I'm still alive after the three exams in two days last week. This weekend was pretty much a waste, though I did see Winnie for a short time. Aya's coming next week! And, uh...not much else to say. Oh, it's March now. Wtf is up with that? I'm starting up a new series on Youtube that's just me throwing a random thought out every day, which is all I have time for. I think it'll be a positive thing because youtube is so ADHD it's annoying. No one will sit through a video longer than 3 minutes, and the #1 most subscribed person is just a video of a guy speeding his voice up by a factor of 2. Bunch of hyperactive squirrels.

I'm off to bed now! More on this story at 9. I mean later.

My God, Jason Mraz gets me going.
Make it Mine is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard.
Dynamo of Volition is awesome too.
It's inspirational not just through the sound, but through the lyrics. His lyrics actually make sense, unlike a lot of the bullshit that goes around these days.

I owe Dave. He came up and helped me get through my CS machine problem. I've never programmed anything ever in my life before today. I'm going to get 100% (A+!) on it. How do I know? They actually provide the students with a checker that goes through, runs the program (4 times actually), and tells you what grade you're going to get. I kept revising it until I got to 100%. I don't think I would have gotten through it if it weren't for Dave pretty much walking me through it.

My next project for piano is figuring out the chords to Dynamo of Volition. It's titillating.

After the CS was done, I chilled with Bill, Mike, and Ryan. But before we started hanging out, Steve passed by. He was on his way to see his friends across the campus. We had a short talk out in the hallway. I was sitting against the wall against my big, fat, blue pillow with little arms on the side, drawing maps on my 11x17 drawing pad again. He requested a "commission" (as he called it) of a map of Orland Park, his home town. I agreed somewhat enthusiastically (at least in that direction). He said that if I wanted something photoshopped, he would do it for me. Steve's a good guy.

Steve and Dave both pretty much made my day today.

Bill and Mike are cool too, though Bill burst out laughing when he was drinking something, spraying me with drinkables. It was a fun time though...I laughed.

But we thought the zombopacolypse was coming....It all started when Mike, Bill, Ryan and I went to the gas station to get some numnums...and by that I mean candy. Yeah. Badass right? Well, when we were walking to the gas station, we saw the other gas station across the street from the one we were going to (I will never understand business strategies in America) packed with cars blasting subwoofers and jumping around obnoxiously on the pavement. Wtf? You know, the crazy "gangsta" types. Wtf?*

Then, we walked back into Hendrick House. Bill and Mike noticed a red-haired girl to the right down the hallway as we walked in the door. In two seconds, they turned around and she was gone.* They were like HOLY SHIT. So we pressed the button to call the elevator to find that the down button was already lit up for no apparent reason.* ...We pressed the up button and went up the elevator. It stopped at the 9th floor and wouldn't go up.* So we got to the 10th floor finally...and ran into Sam and Amanda. We talked to them about the girl who disappeared, and while we were in the process, the door opens. The girl we were talking about comes out of the elevator with an RA from the other side of the building...and they proceed straight into the stairwell back down. Wtf?* This is a prophecy or some shit...I can feel it.

And now, it is 2AM. I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow's tasks: Physics HW and studying CS.

Stop telling the people on youtube that they're hot and that you want to do them. It's not like these women dress like sluts, or as if they treat STD's like Pokemon.

(Gotta catch 'em all!)
