Buying into the Consumer Mentality

The algebra final is done; damned if I know if I passed. It didn't seem all that bad, but then my last test didn't and I barely managed to scrape out a D. Whatever. At least the few weeks belong to me. I shall do a little illuminating and writing and reading, perhaps help prepare for the coming 12th Night feast.

That is, if I can tear myself away from my DVD splurge. I was so impressed with season one of the new Battlestar Galactica series I was considering buying it, when I saw that the second season was released today. I went ahead and bought both because I don't want to wait for Netflix again. Also, Serenity is released today, and I larded it into the order, which also included a book called The Lost Painting. It sounded like excellent travel reading. The only problem will be hiding it away for the trip; it sounds quite fascinating in the reviews.

I've ordered my texts for next semester so they can lurk up in Dog's Nest and remind me that my period of freedom will from school anxiety be short, therefore to be used well.

I am struggling a bit with using my time better. Mortality has been breathing down my neck for a while, and recent news among friends have suddenly intesified the feeling. How much simpler to live day-to-day and not ask anything of myself. How easy it is to be single and selfish. Not that I expect to achieve greatness in any form, but rather that I hope to at least find where the place where I do no real harm and maybe a bit of good.
