I hear the jury's still out on science

Things are different now.... Tonite Eric, Brian, and I drank beers (well, Brian had a bitch beer) and watched no less than five Arrested Developments. It was a nice way to spend a Monday evening. But without a large, changing group of people sitting around the living room in 626, it felt more like we were passing time. I guess we were always just passing time when we sat around and watched TV, but it felt more social back then.

So, the first few weeks of summer weren't a good representation of the rest of the summer. They were punctuated with weddings and vacations and you guys. Now all we have to look forward to is the occasional high school Christian Rock band staying over (They were moderately cool, and they bought lots of Dr. Pepper), and the weekend. Remember how I told you guys how I had existential crises every weekend? Well, chances are I still will, but now without so much decent time in between.

I have to iron before I go to bed at night. College did not prepare me for that. Then I go to to work at 8 AM, eat my bag lunch at noon, hit a wall around 1:30 and try my hardest to keep going until 5. Then I drop by O'Henry's for 30 minutes before going to tutor. This is way more work than college.

But I still think I'll like all this once I get used to the routine. Really, its just a slower pace. And the pace of relationship is much slower too. So I guess we can savor what we get. It was more difficult to savor the moment while we were in school because the next moment came so quickly behind it. It'll be nice to have a more contemplative life. Just so long as being lonely is only temporary.

This posted is scattered because I'm tired, and maybe buzzed. I have to go iron.
