daily log

> customer asked me my name, said they’d seen me around a lot(?), and then introduced themselves — what I’m supposed to make of this I don’t know

> told off one of my co-workers for trying to get another one of us to make his drink (seriously dude, you’re doing too much, you’re how old?)

> tried to play my set on the radio, but there was some sort of ghoul haunting the air, and I wasn’t able to connect

> we got sugar free red bull back at the cafe, but it’s hidden so only the baristas know — I exclusively only drink the sugar free red bull, I’m of the belief all liquids should have no calories universally (it doesn’t make sense that a liquid can have energy in it and not just be a net-neutral)

> realized I’ll have to do office hours with my professor, so I’ll be staying on campus until at least Monday (sad emoji)

> talked with a coworker while closing about all the things we find attractive in other people

> swept the fuck out of the floors, found a chess piece under the coffee machine #treasure

> went to my final classes for cuteness studies and sosc, got sort of emotional

> in said classes talked about how I think there is an element of class inherently linked to minimalism (we were talking about Marie Kondo and “sparking joy”), and how the idea of throwing things out a) was not revolutionary to me and b) made me think about how my mom always forces us to mend things or sew them back together because growing up she had nothing — there’s no use throwing something out just because it doesn’t “spark joy”

> in the same class we brought up this article, and how the act of sewing a button and mending the item was linked to this idea of minimalism and loving the item for what it does for you, and it made me think of my mom

> stayed up until 2 am to watch the time change to 3 am, got so scared and decided I needed to sleep. Sadly woke up at 8 am, my body refuses to let me sleep after all the sleep I've gotten recently (all of friday expect for 2 hrs was spent sleeping).

> went to work at 1 and got off at 3. realized my coworker that I despise actually isn't that evil when she's not talking about her love life and how much she's better than everyone.

> listened to said coworker talk about her situationship with a man she turned down because he had a girlfriend. listened to another coworker relay basically the same story about their crush. then they talked about how they can't get too close to their guy friends because what if they think something. so much talk that saddened me because why not just be friends with who you want how you want...thanked god that this isn't anything I have to deal with because I'm a gay man #blessup.

> younger sister called me on the phone and showed me the crafts she made.

> spent 5+ hrs looking for quotes and writting page after page for an essay. realized almost everything I wrote was bad and scrapped a ton of it.

> took a break from said writing to go outside for a walk, bumped into my brother and his girlfriend.

> finished smoking a cigarette as a reward for doing work. made myself lemonade.

> ordered dim sum for me and my roomate :P

> roomate and I had a lengthy conversation about how emo was the last main-stream rock act/stint. Think 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s they all have their own big mainstream rock acts. Past the 2000s, I can't think of one. Racking our brain for who's the biggest act of the 2010s. Decided the Arctic Monkeys. What do we have now? Geese? But we're not counting indie as the same as rock, and just not to the same extent where you can't escape them. Rap replaced rock. Now we have major pop acts and major rap acts, but no big rock act that I can think of?

> roomate told me a story about how when she was 9 her dad said outloud that two fortune cookies would have the same fortune, unwwrapped the fortunes he was talking about, and like magic they were exactly the same. after telling me this story, we open up our fortune cookies and they, too, both have the same fortune.

> so....I'm actually writing this one day late, but who cares! I was too tired to doccument what I did yesterday to be able to write anything down. but I'll write this now.

>thought I had a meeting with my social sciences professor, woke up in time to make it to her office, only to find out, I actually did not schedule a meeting..whoopsie

> chatted with friends for a while and made myself a drink. went home to shower and shave. put on coconut lotion (not really my taste, but this was all I had).

> worked on my final essays, and rescheuled my meeting with my prof. (met her today, as I am writing this).

>waited for a friend to join me. watched two squirrels kiss while waiting. walked with my friend to a coffeeshop, where they were giving away free food and drink because of an event for something she was apart of.

> sat in said friend's hammock. see photo. while we were sitting and working, the bell tower was ringing, people were playing outside because it was so nice out, I heard someone playing a flute and also watched someone juggle while outside. I was very pleased as it was a very healing expirience.

> went back to work, worked on my essay a little and made myself another drink.

> watched my friend close up and she suggested we go to the lake-front. we dipped our little tippy toe-zies in the water. my feet were so cold that they started to feel numb. I was really happy to feel something and be back in the warm of my socks. we looked up at the stars and I think I jupiter and the north star

> my friends suggested we go back to their house to work. we walked allllll the way back to their house from the shore. they put on music for us and we worked...until we got too distracted by eachother and just started to gab.

>we started to get very into the concept of prision in general and also in practice and just going over how odd everything is.

> went home and fell asleep after relaying what had happened to my roomate.

> finally met with my social sciences professor to go over
