Car rides

The car ride balks home was very quiet. Quiet enough to allow me to think. So during the car ride balks I thought.

College is very fast pace, flying by the seat of your pants. I've loved every minute of it (minus the studying my ass off for econ). But there's zero chance for introspection. You're always going somewhere or doing something or getting ready to go somewhere to do something.

What did I think about? I thought about Ethiopian jazz and how American/European of a concept it actually is. I thought about the practicality of abandoning conventional ethics in certain scenarios. I thought about how the red trees had finally begin to encroach upon the green trees' last resistance compound and the green trees probably didn't have more than a couple weeks. I thought about love. I thought about crappy french vanilla "cappuccinos".


And then break turned out to be a blur. Hang out, go home, call other friend(s), go see family, see more friends while making plans to hang out with other friends. Fun but hectic.

And then I come balks and have to study for exams. And take exams. Lots of things have happened/occurred to me that i want to write about, but it's been hard to find time. Which is why I'm writing at 5:30 in the morning.

More to come later.
