Why is it that i never cleanly finish one thing before phasing into the next? Although this really reflects an absurd number of the aspects of my life, i keep thinking about school. I oozed into grad school from undergrad, taking forever to finish my thesis. And i’m definitely oozing out of grad school into everything else. Hell, this week has been this chaotic mixture of thesising, V-Day and preparations for travels.

Speaking of which, oh my god am i excited! Car chaos was a bit out of hand, but it is settled now. We were going to take Jon’s car, but then Catie’s mom was a little nervous so she offered her car (which is brand spanking new) and well, we just didn’t object. So, we’re driving my car out to Ohio where it will sit for the month, which is perfectly fine with me. I started getting little things (like Dr. Bronner’s.. mmm..) but most of the shopping is going to happen on route. Steph is bouncing uncontrollably and i just can’t wait. We have no idea where we’re going or what we’re doing and that’s just A-OK. We’ve started babbling uncontrollably in emails.. in those thinking aloud kinda ways… Latest one involved underwater themes and fishies…

Basically, i can’t wait for the absurdity. Outdoor festivals just rock my world. Everyone comes out of their caves and smiles and just gets ridiculous. Absurd ideas fly through the air and there’s such a magical feeling about the combination of earth fire water sky and music. ::bounce::
