So i'm lazy

Therefore, I haven't posted here in a while.

I spent July 4-10 in Virginia and DC, hung out with Steve and Ben and had a blast with them.  I've quit drinking since then, from what Steve described as a "gin and juice wreck."  It was neat staying with steve, hes a pretty cool guy.  I spent the second half of the week at George Washinton Universtiy, in Washington DC, where I'm going to college at.  I did the orientation program, Colonial Inauguration, and got my classes registered.
I'm taking:
  • 2 engineering orientations
  • chemistry
  • calculus, single variable
  • world religions: intro to the east
  • intro to western philosphy

15 credit hours, I like my schedule.  I met a bunch of neat people there, I'm really going to like that school.  The engineering department has such a homey feel to it.

In the infinite vacuum of space I become a god

John Keats. 1795–1821



WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high pil`d books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And feel that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
