Mid-term Melancholy: Wednesday, October 20th
Today's schedule:
1. Wake up early (7 AM) and study for the Mid-term examination taking place during my 11:00 AM Database class.
2. Get ready for my 9 AM CIS 330 course.
3. Attend class and fail, probably, a quiz I did not know about because I was absent on Monday.
4. Study during the 1 hour break before the dreaded examination.
5. Take said examination.
6. Leave class feeling not destroyed.
7. Happily run into one Lindsay Thatcher while joyfully riding my bicycle at noon'ish. Proceed to have a wonderful conversation at the PAC about our spiritual happenings and goings on.
8. Eat lunch with Zach and TJ. Sesame chicken and white rice from FUEL.
9. Arrive to my 2-5 intermediate ceramics class surprisingly early. Make another student feel as if he entered the Twilight Zone because of this occurrence.
10. Fine tune my Les Paul project and get it in the kiln.
11. Head to work at the LRC.
12. Finish Donald Miller's latest book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.
13. Have an awesome idea for an adventure during spring break.
14. Surf the internet and stumble across this website via lifehacker.com
15. Make a list about my day.

It's a long list, and perhaps there is plenty of room for other items that took place, but for the most part that is what the day has yielded me. As it is, Mid-term Melancholy is over with and it's back to the grindstone that is not studying for exams.

It's a little somber finishing a book, especially when it's one from your favorite writer. The concept of A Million Miles in a Thousand Days, that life can be lived powerfully as if it were a story, has left me wanting more out of life and I'm not ready to accept the humble existence of a college student/writer. I've always wanted to do something with my days, and I think perhaps I shall. Last week I made a list of career and life goals. This came from something one of my professors said about doing one thing each day to reach graduation.
