positively charged

well, positives. let's focus on those.
today i passed my liquor licensing test, which i thought was pretty cool. they asked all these weird math questions, like, how many drinks has this person had? based on their physical characteristics and behavior, are they drunk? what would you do if this person staggered drunkenly to you? would you let them drive? things like that. also, where is alcohol processed and absorbed in your body?

it was boring. the class took about three and a half hours and in that time i calculated i make approximately a quarter a minute. not too shabby. that means every four minutes i make a dollar. etc.

black music has been going really well, stats too. I have a quiz tomorrow but don't need to study for it at all because i already have an automatic A (assuming I turn in my project next tuesday).

i quit my lab job yesterday. (no kidding!) it took a lot of courage on my part (or it felt like it did anyway) but i'm happy i did it and still got invited to the holiday party next week. relief.

i feel like i took on so many responsibilities in the past, this semester have systematically unloaded them and as if my life is empty. i don't have many things that urgently need to be remembered. i spend a lot of time watching tv (not procrastinating). it's relaxing but i also feel like a lot of my emotions now-a-days stem from just having too much time on my hands with which to think while i knit and listen to podcasts.

I was thinking about deleting my facebook. It seems almost to me that having a facebook is just as bad as not letting go of the past. You see all these random faces from bygone periods of your life, people who either meant very little to you or you just had cursory interactions with, or people you were close to but don't keep in contact with anyway. Sometimes, it's better to just let a good thing go and not try to prolong the magic. (Think: cutting a TV show after it jumps the shark). And people have gotten so nosy and just know what everybody else is doing! That feels almost like an invasion of privacy, except that we all put our dirty laundry out there for everyone to see anyway.
An anecdotal example: Jerry has no facebook and seems no less connected than the next guy...in fact he's more social despite his having a long term girlfriend and moving cities. props. i realize that like, 70% of my "friends" I will probably never speak to again and beyond that, i have no interest in the people I do see on my newsfeed. Maybe the solution is just not checking it as much, as I will be really removed next semester and don't want to cut all ties from home.

brace yourselves...the next post shall be the year in lists!
