I'm having a bit of a problem. My family's bugging me for a gift list, and I am finding it unusually difficult to actually write one up. They think it's because I'm at a point, financially, where I can get what I want at a moment's notice; and that's true for the most part. But I think the root of the issue is that I really don't like having people spend that kind of money on me. I'd much rather the money be spent on those who are not quite as lucky (honestly, I didn't think I'd say that in a self description) to have that sort of situation.
My house-buying zeal has died down for now. I think it'd be best not to tie up my money just before the holidays. When January rolls around, I'll give it another shot.
January. Here's hoping I can get things going and actually get into school. All the time I spent when I was younger dreading school and thinking of ways to get out of it, I never thought I'd be excited for school. Perhaps it's because this time, I have control over what classes I take, or at least have a much greater selection to fill in those class requirements (NO CIVIL LAW). I know I have to maintain a set GPA to keep the VA fronting the cost, but why should I do just the bare minimum? Is that, really, the kind of teacher I want to be? I've seen the result of that (see the aforementioned CL comment), and I really don't want people resenting me by putting forth an effort that just gets the job done.
NON SEQUITUR
Has anyone seen that Dolce & Gabana ad of the two people rushing to meet one another, only to stop and instead make out with what I can only tell are doppelgangers of themselves? What, if anything, does it have to do with timepieces or jewelry? I am thoroughly confused. Of course, my father, being as conservative as he is, was immediately rattled by the sight of male/male make-outs. But honestly, I'm more confused by the premise than anything.
What provoked this? Well, this commercial seems to air constantly during the 2330-0100 reruns of "Scrubs" on the New York Fox affiliate (yes, I totally just Military-Time'd your asses).
Scrubs gets scarier and scarier every time I watch it. Not for anything that is outright scary, but more for the fact that the more I watch it, the more I see that I can relate to (Brendan Fraser's story arc really sucks to watch).
It seems I'm starting to ramble, so I'll leave you, fittingly, with a quote from Dr. Bob Kelso: "Nothing worth having comes easy."
