Hooray studying

I was on the verge of feeling like my information-absorbing stage was over. Ha. Hahahahaha. (I suppose I should stop and explain: I like to think most people go through their childhood and sometimes young adulthood mostly absorbing things, and then at some point they move on to being more productive that absorbant. Not that one should ever stop absorbing things. Still. Stupefyingly obvious yet over-simplified, I know, but ignore that for now, that's not my point.)

There is so fucking much out there that I still haven't read or listened to or otherwise absorbed. Not to mention places I haven't been, but with my current schedule and in the aftermath of returning from ten months on another continent travel hasn't been on my mind too much (with the exception of traveling for the purpose of seeing people rather than places.) I'm reading a lot of Shakespeare lately for a couple of my courses, which is good. I've been meaning to do that awhile (screams the complete Shakespeare collection I picked up from a high school library sale awhile back that totally isn't the expensive-and-probably-significantly-different-in-some-way collection required by my Shakespeare class but TOO DAMN BAD oops tangent sorry hi I resent having to buy textbooks why can't they just put everything we need online and do away with and/or circumvent the copyright laws preventing such action no damnit that is not what this post is about *headdesk*... that's better.)

I feel like I don't listen to enough music, for one. Or at least, not a wide enough variety. (Or enough, probably--listening to music uses up battery power faster and I don't want to bring my laptop charger with me to school because space in my bag is limited.) I have the internet at my fingertips, why do I not actually sit down and really listen to Tool or Fugazi or St Vincent or My Chemical Romance or Ministry or Skinny Puppy or other bands not to mention orchestral music--

Damnit. This was supposed to be a positive post. Anyway. The world itself is not only highly entertaining, but also full of entertaining stuff people made up that I'm totally missing out on. Actually, even more than usual wait no you're sick of hearing about my schedule/classes. Probably. At least I got copies of Pop Kids and Interview with the Vampire from the library and my graphic novel pile that I want to read first is only five six books tall? (Yes, I've never read the second above-mentioned book. Or anything else by Anne Rice. Do you see what I mean by not reading enough? 8D)

Um. I think I'll just stop here. Maybe my mental flailing will be perversely entertaining to someone somewhere somewhen. At any rate, I give you... the mentality behind me not posting for weeks at a time! *turns up music and ponders doing more homework before they have to do it during ought-to-be-sleeping time totally did do that homework during time they should've been sleeping but oh well*
