2 years

Somehow this schenanigan I call a blog has survived two years. Don't ask me how. Honestly I figured it'd have petered out by now. This last year has probably looked pretty negative if everything is weighed in. That's because when I'm down/lonely/generally in a pessmistic mood I seem to post more then when I'm happy. Sorry to the -2 readers out there. I'd promise this year would be better but not completely sure I could keep that promise.

Feeling a little in limbo at the moment. Not quite sure where things are going except that whatever I thought they'd do they probably won't. That's life. I've found I can't predict what life will be like from semester to semester. Odd to think things change that much or that fast. I wonder if they'll continue to change that much once I've graduated. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Signed for the new apartment, move in end of May if I'm lucky. Got to see Jenny yesterday! That was a happy surprise. Also might get to see her again Saturday. Kind of crazy since I haven't seen her since May of last year. That's part life too I guess having people dissapear and then show up suddenly only to have them leave again. (One strange concept about life, you can be so close to someone and then have circumstance split you forever. I think of two guys who rowed together for 17 hours at Dunkirk saving lives and then never saw each other again. Surely braving death together makes you brothers but then life takes you on your seperate course!)

I do feel kinda lonely right now. Think it's the fact I am so busy that I am just jumping from thing to thing and haven't established a pattern for the semester. I am very much a creature of patterns so I always feel off-balance (and am far more easily shaken) when I am in-between routines.

Well think I will dig into Rifts. Only 25+ books left. How much of a nerd am I that I am plugging away through an entire RPG series in a semester? Speaking of books though I finally got a fun assignment. I get to read two books on the modern Middle East and review them! I ordered a couple books off Amazon. One on the Yom Kippur War (seemed appropriate considering I read about 6 Days War last semester) and another more general book covering how the 3 different religions have dealt with Israel. Both look interesting and were decently rated. Plus they appeared to be relatively un-biased. I may be pro-Israeli for the most part but I realize there's another side to this war.

Anyhow, that's a long anniversay/birthday post. Time to relax and read.
