you do what??

i think i really don't understand the majority of the population. i'm doing this networking seminar type thing and we have mentors that are all graduates of MIT and have "relevant positions" to the engineering field. they have electrical engineering degrees, math degrees, computer science degrees, materials science engineering degrees, aerospace engineering degrees.... you know, the type you get at a tech school. the thing is, maybe one of them *actually* does a job that relates to their major. the rest: investment banking, finance management, sales advocate etc.

they tell us the world doesn't revolve around money? but how could you do a job like that when you could really be solving problems.

i refuse to sink low enough to center my career around money, unless it's directly channeling it to people who actually need it.

do i want navy toms or purple striped toms?

when i write the next complain-y, tired, wish-i-wasn't-so-busy blog would someone please remind me of this moment and how i wish i actually had something to do. instead of stare at my wisdom toothless roommate, facebook stalk, and muse about whether i should eat lunch or move. thanks.

also, relient k is touring with paramore. be excited.

i can't stop thinking!

there's so much to think about. i feel like i'm in that dr. seuss book 'oh the things you could think.' i really do. i'm talking crazy stuff here, how much i just want to drive for hours and hours at one a.m., scarf hoodies, the radical practices of Jesus, how frozen the charles is, colors, places, houses (lots of houses), my flute....

and mind you this is my actual stream of consciousness, those things, in that order.

it's wonderful! thank you God that i have a crazy, complicated brain that can be entertained by these things!
