The Olympics are on now, which is pretty neat. I saw the opening ceremonies, and they were quite a production. The history of Greece represented by people resembling Greek art was rather fascinating, as were the people running/flying above the ground. My favorite things to watch are gymnastics, swimming, and diving. Track and field is okay too. It's just so weird because so many of the athletes are so close my age. When I was younger, they seemed infinitely older than me.

I got to see my best friend from my high school this weekend, one day of the whole entire week she'll actually be home before going back up north to WVU. I hadn't seen her in a year, so I was incredibly excited to see her. We caught up on the generalities of each other's year in about 3 1/2 hours, and it was uncanny how many of the same experiences we had. We had taken many of the same classes, been in the same sort of situations, and had some of the same obstacles. I suppose someone could think I was stupid for being excited that so much of the same stuff happened to both of us, because it is college, and maybe it's pretty much the same everywhere, but I don't want to try to make some big generalization. I was just glad that we still had so much in common and were still so comfortable with each other despite only talking once or twice in the past year.

I despise my job more than anything else on the entire planet. It sucks away my energy and happiness and leaves me an angry, bitter, contemptuous shell lacking even a trace of the once pleasant and agreeble state of mind I strove to maintain. I wish I was quitting a week earlier instead of working right up until the Friday before I leave.

I finally got to see The Village, and it was a bit of a disappointment.

Exactly two weeks from this moment, I will be sitting in my dorm room, probably still in front of my computer. Crazy.
