Thursday

"It must be Thursday. I never really got the hang of Thursdays."

Unlike Dent Arthur Dent (Douglas Adams=log and love!) I like Thursdays. I get two hours of biology, two hours of Spanish, half an hour of my friends arguing about politics and whose fault it is we didn't have pizza, and then I get to go home, have a little me time (or mommy and me time, like today) then go pick up my brother.

Today, I will also tutor for two hours and earn some money to fill up my gas tank. I like the kid and it's easy work so far--last week I basically sat there and read the entire time because he didn't need my help. And the income is nice.

Also, today, the cast list came out for the winter and spring plays. For my last high school play, I got the part I wanted and I am single cast. I got what I wanted and I don't even have to share!!! What a great way to end a high school acting career. I'll probably cry on closing night, though.

Then maybe tonight I'll talk philosophy with my boyfriend like we did a few nights ago--all in the interests of helping me gain insight to the Postmodern mindset and finishing my log. It's funny; when most people argue about the existance of god and the purpose of life, it's a fierce and angry debate, but we've been arguing the point as representatives of the belief, not as believers ourselves. I don't agree with all the opposing points, but I feel very much enlightened after those discussions and they always leave me with a stronger sense of what I believe. That's why I love reading Douglas Adams so much--I feel like everything is a metaphor that presents his views on purpose and god.

Then, I have to knit. I have a scarf and hat sale on Monday and I need to finish getting together my stock. It's looking pretty good so far, but I have a few more skeins I would love to make something pretty out of.

Maybe no one will ever get the hang of Thursdays. But this one has been pretty good to me. :)
