Do These Sunglasses Make My Head Look Big?

I've never had to deal with such a bright sun. Before, I was always in rain forests where you can't even see the sun because there are too many trees. But here in Florida, there are a lot less trees. So I had to go get some sunglasses, and I didn't realize how hard it was to find a pair. There are too many styles to choose from: aviators, cat eye, wayfarer, sport, big, small, way too many. And then the lenses—what do I choose? Do I really need polarizing? Or can I just go with the regular UV? And what does this all even mean? But the worst part was finding one that fit your face just right and was the perfect color. Shopping for sunglasses is exhausting. Do I even need sunglasses? It rains here most of the time anyways, and I'm usually never outside. I should just get a hat or something. Maybe I could make banana sunglasses. Would that even work? Or I could just eat more bananas. I'm pretty sure they're good for your eyes, I mean they're good for the soul ...

I Shall Call My Bed Comfy, and It Shall Be Mine

Beds are an amazing invention. I mean honestly though, how many years of  sleeping on straw or the cold, hard ground did it take for someone to realize that they need to make something better? But really, beds are great. And what's even better is owning a bed, one that you can call yours and that you get to sleep on exclusively. I missed my old bed while I was away, but now that I'm back I'm so happy and comfortable. Thinking about bed history makes me wonder what things people tried to make beds out of. After how many other materials did it take for someone to come up with springs. I wonder if anyone thought of using bananas: they can be soft. I would sleep on a banana. Now I want to try sleeping on one. I need a banana.

Hurray for Dads

It was Father's Day today but unfortunately I wasn't with my dad. He was off traveling for work, so the only time I got to spend with him was on the phone. But that's OK, because he's an adult and can do what he wants on his day. I can't imagine what it would be like being a father, so much pressure to be the man of the house and protect everyone. My dad did a great job though, and I'm thankful to him for that. I've been busy relaxing, so I didn't feel like blogging. But I'm back now so there's no need to worry. It's been great this past week, sleeping in, sleeping, resting, eating bananas.... Goodness I just realized it's been 20 minutes since I've had a banana. I need a banana.

This is Art

I don't understand art, or at least modern art for that matter. I totally get the classic style where you needed to be skilled to be able to actually make something clear and recognizable, but some art today is just weird. Like, what does it even mean? Is it supposed to have a meaning? I have no idea why people thing lines on a canvas are so cool, and then pay millions to hang it on their wall. I could do that. I just haven't. But honestly, I'm sure that if a monkey did something like that it would be worth even more money. I mean look at the elephants that paint: people think that's pretty cool. Maybe I should drop out of school and be an artist. It's definitely a fool-proof plan. Speaking of dropping out of college, I'd have to wait until next fall to do it, since school has already ended. It's less dramatic to stop during the summer and just never return. I need to be there for people to appreciate me and then leave them. Although I'd still have to ...

No Sleep Till Brokenness from My Lack of Sleep

The hour of finals is finally upon me. More specifically, the hours of finals. Even more specifically, the hours between midnight and 8 a.m. that I'm awake finishing projects for my finals. It's my own fault really—I could have done my projects ahead of time and not had to worry about finishing them at the last minute, but would I really have gotten the true college experience? I think not. I'm lucky though that I only have projects to finish and no tests, because studying is much worse than doing a project. With a project, you have time before to finish all the parts and decide for yourself if it's complete. With tests, you study and study and hope you didn't forget anything, which is way more stressful. Either way, I'm still pulling all-nighters to finish things. Luckily tomorrow is the last day, and then I'm home free! Even though I'm so close to being done, I still have plenty of stress to deal with trying to finish my projects. I can't wait un...

Cash Me at the Movies Howbow Dah

I'm a movie star now. Well, almost. It hasn't been released, or even finished yet, but hey I'm still in a movie. I always dreamed of making it big, my name in lights, people screaming for autographs. I mean, who wouldn't want to be famous. Although, there are a lot of downsides to being famous, like everyone knowing everything you do, always seeing yourself in ads. I guess it wouldn't be that fun. I suppose it's good then that it's only a student film. Other than being a lead actor in a new soon-to-be-a-hit movie, I've done nothing else productive with my life. I have finals to study for and projects to finish, but at this point I don't feel like it. I do feel like a banana though. I need a banana.

Thank Goodness It's [the Last] Friday

Classes are done. I can't believe I've made it this far, but at the same time it feels like this quarter went by really fast. My classes weren't too bad, but there were definitely some difficult moments. Overall I would say this was a pretty good first quarter. Even thought the year is over and soon I have to say good-bye to the friends I've made, I'm glad it's over. College is hard! People always glorify it as been super fun and that you'll party all the time, but that's not true. You'll study until your head hurts and then stay up all night doing projects. But it's done now, and I'll soon be going home. I need a banana.
