I have come to determine (quite recently) that there is an enormous difference between being busy and being intellectually/mentally stimulated. I know, this may seem an obvious fact. When you are busy, your brain is functioning and neurons are in fact "pumping"...But it is quite something to be busy and not having to think versus being forced to utilize various mental faculties to accomplish tasks...I am the type of person that craves a challenge...if I am bored, my output is small and menial -- much like the given task...Just a little self discovery I have had since yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, I was quite possibly the most frustrated I have been a very long time. I feel really bad for Luis, because the poor guy was the first non-work-related person with whom I conversed and I just launched on him while telling him about my day. (I got a little too passionate about my story). I think I scared him ;) Oh well, as my mom told me on the phone, just chalk it up to a bad day and go get some rest. So, what did I do? I ditched class, went to Boba Smoothie and got a hot tea, went home, watched TV for like 3 hours, and went to sleep early. To be honest, it really felt good. (I got to watch this show that I used to watch back in the day when I had time for TV. I had forgotten how much I love it!) Then I woke up and started the monotony all over again...(ok, so it isn't thaaaat bad...I am just being a drama queen, as usual. It's just that things are not how I pictured they would be and sometimes it can be a little bit of a let-down when your daydreams clash with your daily reality...But that is not to say that overall I am not happy, because I am! It's just different, is all...) At any rate, I have mellowed out some today and I am glad...I just needed to vent. (which is essentially the main focus for most of these things that I do.)

So, I made a special trip to go vote on tuesday...Voting is such a unique experience! It was refreshing to see a huge line out the door of people eager to go inside and stand in the makeshift cardboard box (with a curtain!) to fill out this long piece of paper...heeheehee :)

I can't believe vegas is tomorrow!! It really came up quick...I know it will be good to get away for a couple of days.

Okie dokie...I am gonna go hit up some grub...
