Ballads Of Selective Memory.

I am currently sitting in a class at school, writing this post because I literally have nothing else to do. The geniuses in charge of this whole organization decided that 5-hour classes would be effective and worthwhile, or something like that. Either way, it's ridiculous. So, at least this gives me a chance to get back to all of you, albeit for a brief moment. Although, it's taking me forever to type this because I am CRAVING a Chipotle burrito. There's a store that just opened right around the corner from my school, and it's all I can think about right now. That's what happens when you run out of the house late, without a proper morning meal. Anyways, is it pathetic that I'm only listening to the teacher long enough to hear him say, "Take your 30 minute break and I'll see you back here in a bit", so that I can get a burrito? Hmm...

Anyways, like I said: school. Boring. The good news is I only have to go four times a week. The bad news? I have to be there by 8:00am, every day. You all know me and my lack of morning skills. It's tragic, to say the least. So, I've been loading up on hot tea, primarily because I am too tired in the morning to figure out the french press. And the regular coffee pot would take to long. Ergo, I've resorted to hot tea. My current flavor of the week is darjeeling, mostly because it's the only one I can find in the house besides Starbucks passion tea, and also because I am still dying to see the movie, "The Darjeeling Limited". Looks good, but haven't read any reviews. I only saw the small pre-clip on iTunes, "Hotel Chevalier", which I liked. Gosh, I totally sound like I know what I'm talking about, when in reality I don't.

Speaking of movies I want to see, I've been seeing tons of reviews for the movie "Bella". I read some about it online last night, and it seemed good. Lots of controversy in some forums I found, so that means it's got to be good. To make it more impressive, it won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival. Either I'll love it, or hate it. Regardless, it'll be a worthwhile watch.

Change of subject (and seeing as how I can't remember if I already mentioned this...), but I applied at my old high school to be an assistant soccer coach. So far, they don't even have a head coach, which terrifies me to no end, but God always has a plan. I'm trying to convince my old middle school coach to come back and be lead coach for this team, which would be amazing in every sense of the word! If I can't convince her with my charming and witty personality, I might just have to fly solo. Terrifying? Yes. Gratifying? Immensely. I know it's something that I can do, but I don't know how long it'll take me to get it right. So, that's my current predicament.

Otherwise, life's keeping me busy. Currently working two jobs, full-time school, and house-sitting for three families in the next two months. It'll be insane, seeing as how soccer might overlap some of it all too. Whew...I'll take a breather when I can.

Sorry again for having gone so long between postings. I've been remiss in the game, and I apologize. I've decided that when I get to 15 total songs used, I'll end the first round of the game. The winner slash all participants will get a very nice gift in the mail. Then, we'll pretty much start all over again. Let me know if you want to start over with the points, or keep going with the current totals for the next round. This whole "game" is still in it's early stages, so I haven't ironed out all the kinks of it yet. So, if I don't have your current address, make sure I get that, por favor.

I guess that's all for today. I'm sure I could say more, but they give me a time limit on "Personal Sites and Social Networking" websites. Those internet nazis....
