Spring Break

Woooo. This week didn’t really go spectacularly. Pretty sure I failed, or at least did poorly on, my biology exam, and before that I got incredibly sick for a little while. Oh well, I finished up the week by going to see a campus production of Love’s Labours Lost, which was excellent, and very funny. They set it in the 1920s, and turned it into a pseudo-musical. Some ladies next to me were complaining about the setting.

Anyway, we’re off to my friend’s cabin for a couple days tonight. Should be fun haha.

Double Header

I’ve now pulled two all-nighters in a row. Both of them have been attempts to restore a normal sleeping schedule. The first try fell through when I let myself fall asleep for 5 hours, throwing the whole thing off. I tried to go to sleep last night, but it just wasn’t happening, so I went for it again. It should hopefully be a bit easier this time. I just have to make it to 9 or 10 PM. It’s only 8:20 AM and I already feel like I’m dying though. Ugh. I desperately need to get my sleep schedule back on track tonight, seeing as I have three exams this week: one on Wednesday and two on Thursday.

I spent a good deal of the night reading Watchmen. I saw the movie on Friday, which compelled me to pick up the graphic novel. It really does deserve all the praise it gets. Fantastic novel. I’ve also got a sort of job interview today. Nothing’s final, and I’m still not completely sure I want the job, but we’ll see how it goes today. Hopefully I won’t pass out from exhaustion during it, haha.

The Basics

I guess I’ll kick this off with some basic background stuff. I’m currently 19 and in college. I’m not really sure what I want to major in, but I’m very interested in the mythologies of many different cultures (Greco-Roman and Norse mythology in particular), and I really think I’d enjoy teaching a subject like that at the university level.

I’m a big music aficionado, and my tastes range all over. Recently I’ve been becoming increasingly enamored with heavy metal and several of its many sub-genres, though I’m a big fan of ska, punk rock, and various other types of music as well. I love going to concerts, but I don’t often get the chance to go to many of the ones that I’m interested in. I’m in the process of learning to play the bass guitar currently.

I’m interested in traveling to other countries. To date, I’ve been to England twice, and both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland once each. One of these days I’m going to do the whole backpacking across Europe thing with a group of friends, and I’m definitely looking forward to the day when I have the means to do it.

And now for some random Iron Maiden fanboyism:

And so it begins…

I made my first post on here awhile back, and I originally intended for this to be something completely different. However, seeing as I’m far too lazy to keep up with my original intention, I guess I’ll just do a run of the mill blog. So it’s currently 5:08 in the AM, and I’m pulling an all-nighter in an attempt to reset my very screwed up body clock, as I tend to only get around 5 hours of sleep every night. I also happen to be out of caffeine now, and I don’t have any way to get more at this hour. Damn it. I don’t know if I’ll keep up with this thing, but it’s late, I’m bored, and I needed something to keep me awake…so there it is. And now for something completely different:
