| So, I went running today. It was quite an experience. Now, anybody who knows me know that I'm not really lazy, but I just never really work out, or run, or do anything more physically exerting than Ultimate Frisbee. (which actually can be quite exerting!)
But, I decided that if I'm going to be an actor, I'm gonna have to be in shape. So the first thing I'm going to start is running... (there are more to come, but you'll have to wait for fall to hear about them. lol )
First I bought shoes, which was an ordeal in itself. I haven't owned a pair of gym shoes since before I can remember. And I remember the dark blue pair of vans I got when I was only twelve... so we're looking at sometime before that. :P Naturally I had no idea what I was buying, but thankfully the nice guy at Dick's Sporting Goods tried to help, and I accidentally ended up buying just what I needed. ( I thought I was buying cross trainers, but I ended up buying running shoes, which, after the fact and talking to some people, I decided was a better choice.)
Then, I read online for about an hour all about stretching. :D Just to make sure I don't do anything crazy. And then, this morning I got up earlier, and went running! (plus warm-up streching... blah blah blah)
And I'm only slightly sore. Probably because I could have pushed myself farther. (well, and I'll probably be more sore tomorrow) But seeing as how I've never run before in my life, I think that's acceptable for the first time. :) We'll see how things go from now on. I need to figure out how far I'm running too. lol Down the street, past the stop sign to the yellow sign, back, around the neighbor hood, back home doesn't really explain much does it. :P
Anyway... stay tuned for more exciting episodes of
"Life with Kurt! Relating the Mildly Uninteresting!"

| What I would do, where I would go, and who would I be with, if I had a full day that I knew was going to be uninterrupted...
Ooh! I like this game a lot! So we can teleport? That's sweet!
So I would wake up at 8:30, that is assuming I went to bed at 12:00am, and I would make breakfast for me and my good friends from Knutson 111 who teleported over to my house. (I teleported to my house too 'cause I have a better kitchen there and I don't have to pay for the food I eat there) We would probably have french toast, eggs over easy and corn beef hash made with leftover corned beef from St. Patrick's Day. :D
Then we teleported to New York to visit my sister and buy cheap knock off Prada sunglasses in ChinaTown. So we would just walk around shopping, window shopping, pretending like we're not tourists even though we really are. And then when it was time for lunch we'd teleport back to Chicago to get pizza. Which would be really nice because it would only be 11:00am in Chicago and we'd miss the lunch rush. Then we'd teleport back to New York and see Wicked. And then we'd go to Jordan's house and camp out in the forest and tell ghost stories and scare ourselves to death. And then sleep out under the stars until the mosquitoes ate us to death and chased us all back into our tents. Somewhere in there we'd eat dinner, but after breakfast and lunch we wouldn't really care about dinner so it's not worth mentioning. :D

| So in between my last final on Wednesday morning and my ride home Thursday at 1:00pm I did some reflecting on the last semester. This is what I learned.
• My first priority for the semester was to survive. I'm not exactly sure that's how it should be.
• I figured that as long as I could do everything I committed to, I'd be fine. Turns out people really need time to just do stuff that they enjoy and be creative and hang out and have fun and do crazy stuff.
• Music is a big part of my life. The more I try to leave it behind me, the more it catches up and follows me.
So big news coming out of this semester?
I added a music minor in voice. I'm really excited for that.
I'm writing a musical with a friend.
That's really all I have to write.  Quick and happy...
(so much less cliché than short and sweet) | | |
| 1. God - Cliche? I don't care.
2. My family and home
3. My friends - You're all so amazing!
4. Northwestern - Sometimes you drive me crazy, but I love you anyway
5. Theatre - My first love
6. Music - My second love
7. Psych - My third love
8. The internet - Yes internet, what would i do without you?
9. Trees and grass and nature
10. A sense of purpose - Yeah, God's kind of the reason for that
11. Health -
12. What wealth I have - Even though I just wrote a post on how I'm impoverished, it could be worse
13. Camp Forest Springs - Oh camp, how I love thee
14. Clothes - Yeah I know, lame... but still, this is my list
15. The ability to end this list at 15. if I want to... I can't think of anything else at the moment... | | |
| They say there is no significant difference in the happiness of people with different financial backgrounds unless that person is impoverished.
I am that person.
It's so crummy being a college student, 'cause you're finally old enough to actually care about managing your money properly and it's prime time for learning that, 'cept since you're going deeper and deeper into debt each day it really doesn't matter how much money you have, you really don't have any. None. Zip. And so on and so forth.
Seriously, every time I spend a dollar on something that I don't need to live I feel like I'm misusing my money, seeing as how I need to buy brown shoes, tan socks, a brown belt, and a new Tux all for school, PLUS pay for school and the band tour to Australia! How is that even reasonable?!!!
And the more things I'm involved in during school the more I learn, and the more I take advantage of the unique situation I'm in, but the less I can work and therefor the less money I have. (and all those things above are required for extra curricular activities, except any self respecting person should own all those anyway)
So therefore, I have decided that I'm impoverished. No, it's not affecting my happiness all that much when I'm at school 'cause I'm too busy to think about what I need, I just go "Crap, I don't have that, who can I borrow it from". And move on... but here at home it stinks.
Anyway, that is my rant about college and money. I hope it's not depressing. If it is, hopefully this joke will cheer you up. (but that's not likely, it's not that type of joke anyway)
Knock knock
Who's there?
Jesus
Jesus who?
Well... I guess you're not going to heaven!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Crap! I forgot to post what I'm thankful for! *goes to work on that* | | |
