day in a life

I'ts a Wednesday morning and I got my son to school at eight came home and took a shower and now I am waiting for my coffee. School has been great, I study for at least 8 hours a day and I am just so tired. In these 8-10 hours I do nothing but read and take notes at a lecture. I am not the best at writing down when the professor speaks but it's about a 1000 words I note down for every lecture, some are able to write it down almost word by word. I have been reading Egyptian prose and poetry and I love it I know many people there don't like it but I think it's fun I was also supposed to read about Gilgamesh for the class I am taking today I have read it often so I though it would be easy but this translation is very different from the one I have, and so much better! I am enjoying it all!

I won't go to school on Friday cause my lovely son is having his first concert! two music teacher came to his class and taught the boys how to play a few instruments and a few notes and things and they have been practicing and the concert is,like I said, on Friday. I am so very proud.

yesterday I was kinda forced to go to a concert. John Grant is on the ice working on his next album and trying to learn how to speak Icelandic. Everybody gets so excited when people try and speak Icelandic, they clapped after every word, nobody claps when I speak English... Anyway the concert was a part of a series called 'coffee,cakes rock and roll' and it is held by a house supporting people with alcohol and drug addictions. It was great I have wanted to see John Grant since I first heard his cd 'Queen of Denmark' and he seems to love the ice. My mom was with my boy so I could go, I know he loves it but I don't like having someone babysit for me, I just want to be there myself. but it was good to get out and we met a few of my brothers old friends, he has kinda lost contact with them so it was nice, and one of them remembered I am a star trek and all sci-fi fan so we chatted about that for a while and lucky me they live in the same town as I do so they drove me home.

I know I should go out every now and then, it's just easier to have excuses and stay inn. I have always had excuses, I was always working with school when my friends didn't or worked one night a week and I had a dog so couldn't go camping or things like that (I could I just didn't wanna) I never went to a party if I couldn't walk home from it. I am just not a big people person so going out is not easy.

Now I am spending my time writing this and doing nothing cause I am so tired and I really just want to go to sleep but I have to go to school and study for a few hours before class. I wish coffee did something for me, gave me a kick or something, it's 9 in the morning and I am now on my second cup and still so tired. I have been sitting here writing this for 20 minuets, I really should go study...

I love how odd and hard life can be and easy and good at the same time.
