Only one thing has ever been able to consistently move me to some sort of emotional response. It's the biggest thing we know, but the city hides it and it's been way too long since I've payed attention. Tonight, though, I'm going to look specifically at the sky. The full lunar eclipse is tonight. Last one until 2010. If the sky is clear, anyone with me will notice a sudden change as soon as the full moon is in view. I cease babbling. I just sit there and glare at the sky, thinking it might be nice to visit those stars someday. I dunno... the universe tends to center me. I'm reminded that I'm utterly insignificant, so I shouldn't be stressed. Nothing I do really matters and it doesn't lead up to anything, so I may as well enjoy it while it lasts. I'm just hoping I can sustain this mood.
Thursday night will kill it, though. I always leave Calculus with the intense craving for a stiff drink and a barstool to myself, where I don't have to make eye contact with other people. Oy ve. This funk has lasted too long. Figured I might be able to force a smile by now, I guess.

you know, it makes perfect sense but i hadn't really thought about it until just this instant. If engineering doesn't work out, what about astronomy?
1. I'm really attached to cities and you can't study astronomy near light pollution.
2. It's really physics and math intensive, which is kinda why I'm failing out of engineering.
