 Free Fallin' | 10 March 2004 I can't seem to concentrate, even for short periods of time. Today, I had a presentation due for my sociology class. Only, I made the presentation and had no way to put it on a disk and bring it to class (long story). I got so discouraged. So I ditched class. I didn't want Ray to find out though so I just drove around downtown and hung out at Border's for three hours. I hope to god that my teacher will let me make it up so I don't get a bad grade. I am so behind in my classes it's not even funny. Fortunately, I think I can make up at least enough to get at least a B in all of my classes. I might even get an A. I hate school. I just want to get it over with already. I'm tired today. I didn't get much sleep--about three and a half hours. I have a sinus headache. I have to work tonight and I don't really want to. I have to take my laptop and finish my paper that was due today but I'm going to turn in tomorrow. Then I have homework up the wazoo that must be finished before next Wednesday for my accounting class. That means I have to drive around really really fast to rack up miles and make it look like I worked (but that's kind of fun really). I never knew how loud my music was when I drive until one night I checked the laundromat and I could still hear my music blaring outside. Ray finds this amusing and likes to do a cheesy immitation of me driving around like a gangster and ignoring everyone's pleas for help. I have to do my hair, and I'm very uninspired. I have the song Free Fallin' by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers stuck in my head. It's not obnoxious though; it's actually quite pleasant. "And all the vampires down in the Valley/Move west to Ventura Boulevard." How can you not love Tom Petty? I have so much I want to say, but I'm too afraid that someone I know will read this. There's so much of me that I don't like, so much that I want to keep hidden away from everyone. I was thinking of that when I was driving downtown and searching for some meaning in my life. (Actually, I was searching for Carl's ice cream. I found it, but it was snowing and way too cold to get any.) I'd talk more about it, but unfortunately, I have the attention span of a gnat and probably couldn't stick with the topic for more than a few sentances.
