Chained Up

Wooooo! There's a scrollbar now, how exciting. Wow. It's hard to believe the semester is almost over already. Only a few more weeks to go and then we're out of here. The work feels like it's piling up now, but I should have more free time to do it,...maybe. >.<;; My original research paper for english 202B doesn't seem to be going too well. But how can I really know what I'm going to write about before I write the paper? Papers usually shape themselves as I write them. I suck at planning for papers. It just has to happen for me.

I think that being here makes me forget how old I really am. Most of the time, I don't really think about it. The majority of the people here seem to be under 21. Whenever I hear people talking about their age--like today I heard some girl say she looks younger with long hair, but she's actually older...20, she said. Yeah, that's older -_-;; --I have to think about how old I am. And then it's like, "Oh, yeah. I'm ...23. ugh." ;_; "I'm old." Just like that. I don't know what to make of this. If it's bad or not, because it doesn't really seem to be a good thing.

On a side note, I have to begin wondering what is up with the chainning off of areas on the Pennstate campus. It's starting to bother me. When I go to class, I want to take the shortest possible way, even if that means cutting a corner through some grass. Apparently when I wasn't looking, someone went and made grass a sacred object. What's so special about the damn grass?? People walk on it, it grows freely everywhere and you don't have to try, it's not a rare commodity or something...what's the deal? Why are they chaining it off? I remember one time when I was in middle school on a really windy day, I was playing with paper airplanes on top of hill. They would fly down the hill, over a field, and across the street. The airplanes ended up in this guy's yard a couple times, so I had to go get them. Then one time he comes out a spazzes about me walking on his grass. I remember the one comment so clearly though, because it was so stupid: "How would you like it if I walked on your grass?" he said. Well, I wouldn't give a shit, because it's just grass. -_-;; Who the hell cares about grass...it's everywhere!
