With every mistake we must surely be learning . . . still my guitar gently weeps

Current Music: Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York
Current Mood: calm/sad  

   I dunno.  I'm not down, but I am.  Tonight was my last US History class, and my teacher had us meet at the bar at John Harvard's to celebrate.  It was a great time.  I drank more than I've drank in a long time, although that's not hard to do.  I had 4 beers, although I only finished half of the last one.  I was also there for 3.5 hours, so I don't feel so bad about it.  I was having a great time talking with a few guys who are already teachers.  It is nice to talk to people in the classroom already, it helps me get ready for when I become a teacher.  I got a chance to talk to everyone that I wanted to and say my goodbyes.  I honestly won't see most of these people ever again.  And that's what got me sad.

I came home and remained sad. 

Then James called at like 10:30.  We ended up conversing with each other and with his cousin Samantha until about 2:30 or so.  It put me in a much better mood, honestly.  I love being home and having friends around here. 

(Now playing: Colin Hay - Into The Cornfields)

    I mean, I had a few friends in South Dakota, but it was kinda linked to the relationship, and it got harder and harder even being in Sioux Falls for a while.  After some more time, I ended up staying in Vermillion almost all the time, except for when I had to drive out to Sioux Falls for work. 

  Here I see my friends from time to time, which is awesome.  I've been enjoying school, and now it's over.  And then I start my new job at Target in a few weeks.  And then I'll be working a lot and making a good amount of money and that excites me :)  Yay!!!

Anyway, it is 3:09am.  That's not gonna be good for me.  I don't wanna wake up late tomorrow.  I drank a lot of water, so I don't think I'll have a hangover.  Also the fact that I wasn't drunk should make me not have one either :)

(Now playing: The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps)

   I dunno, though.  I think I had a buzz going, as they say.  It was interesting, that's for sure.  The only time I've ever drank enough to perhaps be drunk was at my going away party back in April of 2005.  I had a lot to drink, but I was always in control of myself, remember everything, and woke up just fine the next day.  And I drank a lot more than 3.5 beers, heh. 

  So yeah, long story short, I'm in an okay mood at 3:13am.  I want to be tired, but since I'm not, I'll just embrace being awake.  I'll watch Judge Mathis and some Scrubs episodes I have saved up and before we know it it'll be morning.  That's what I'll do. 

Good times :)

I'm gonna go now.

More later, yo :)
