My place. To be…Me

Music of the Moment: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Soundtrack – Lily’s Theme

Yes, I have been listening to the Harry Potter soundtrack, and for some reason this particular song is incredibly awesome and wonderful to me. It’s soothing and calming, yet has this tone of some worry and distress too. I sense the worry from Lily, Harry’s mother, who could be thinking about a future situation, though I can also sense possible distress as if looking upon a situation currently happening. A free flowing thought. This is why I love music; a piece that can show so much and envelope you in something (fictional or not) by taking you on a journey. All from sound.

Life is troublesome. Just when you think one problem is solved, another arises. I guess that’s the life of a college student who wonders how he’ll pay for each year. Unfortunately, I’ve come to the decision that I have to forgo running Cross Country this year, something that I really did not want to give up. I don’t like giving up on it… I don’t like giving up, period. In the end, though, the back of my mind reminds me that I have not given up on running with a team again but possibly only postponed it, or maybe just saved this activity from becoming something that I hate over time. Regardless, I hate knowing that the time and effort that I have put in for the past year and a half has come to a grinding halt. An incredibly frustrating and grinding halt…

I hate when this happens…

School costs money, something that I have never had a lot of, and taking a job at the Gamestop in Meadville (something I was incredibly lucky to strike upon) is an opportunity that I cannot pass upon. So for this year, I’ll be doing my work-study on campus, Gamestop, and writing. Work-study will be fine, it was never very stressful, and quite useful actually to have a few hours twice a week to sit in quiet to work. Gamestop will be a bit more challenging. I don’t have a car… Which really blows big monkey balls. I digress…

I don’t have a car, so I have to take the bus system to work every time I work. Hopefully, I’ll be able to figure this out, because the routing looks a bit daunting at first glance… Shouldn’t be too much trouble to figure out what to ride and when, but it’ll be a pain trying to schedule around it and stuff… Really not looking forward to it. At all.

Writing it going to another interesting task. I love doing it, I just wish I could do more for my site (XboxFreedom), a site that is trying to still grow and does not have the funds to do what we want to do. They want me to make videos for them about video games and what not, and I did a few and they were a blast to do, but they cannot let me continue to do it as they do not have the funds. That is extremely frustrating…

.

So that’s what I will not be doing and will be doing in the coming weeks. For now, it’s time to start thinking about packing, maybe daydream about a hot chick, run, and possibly contemplate what I’m gonna do to pay for the rest of my (expensive) college career. Maybe I’ll also contemplate how to Wecht hard enough to live with my roommate this year. I hear this kid Wechts nearly every night…

Also, if you don’t have a Google+ account, you need to get one… It’s a barren land right now with so few friends on it, and my posts aren’t being liked/commented enough to satisfy me. If you need an invite, let me know and I’ll hook you up.
