1. So apparently I could use more physical exercise in my life. Just now, for about 20 minutes the power went out across the entire UMass campus. This happened while I was in the dining common, but I guess Umass knew what they were doing when they built it - gas grills and ovens are nifty in that they don’t need electricity! Anyways, my realization that I should start exercising came when I finished climbing 11 flights and was breathing pretty heavily…oh and of course the power came back on just when I went into my room.

2. I love Michael Franti. For the past two weeks I’ve been on a splurge, listening to him constantly. His music is not homogeneous, his style differs noticeably with each new album. Plus, the messages that he gives address acceptance, love, coming together as one and the end of ignorance. His music really just makes me so happy!

3. Yesterday I came incredibly close to running a squirrel over on my bike.

4. As of yesterday I’ve been in college for an entire month. It’s insane, I just can’t grip it. The time has flown by, and I’m realizing that the weekdays are immensely different than in high school. I don’t dread the week, and before I know it, it’s the weekend. I stay busy, but am not overwhelmed, party with responsibility (only friday and saturday) and this adds up to me being quite content.
