How many songs are there about rain?

I have been in studio all weekend. I was supposed to go home with my roommate and have a fun weekend with her.. instead i spent all 3 days in a computer lab, or in the gross dirty sculpture room. My hands went numb on Saturday because i was power sanding, grinding and polishing my sculpture for a good 5 hours. That is WAAAAAY to long. Tonight i finished my metal sculpture as well as 3 computer art pieces and a mixed media piece only to discover that tomorrow i have 2 tests, Tuesday i have a test and a paper due and i have done NOTHING yet. err..

I was just about to collapse from frustration and disgust at myself for waiting until last minute to finish my projects AND completely disregarding any other class when i basically gave up and left a&h... for the fist time in days.. (or since lunch) I was just so.. not mad but empty when it started to rain. It was cool out... almost warm even and the rain felt wonderful. No one was around. It was just me and the rain. It washed away all of my frustration and rejuvenated me. It was refreshing, in an emotional kind of way. Anyway, i just thought today was a good day even with all of the crap i had to do just because of the rain.


About Kevin's quote. I think its a wonderful idea. And i think that many people strive to live life this way. Certainly many religious groups fit under the purpose driven life. there is a book with the same name... go read it- i hear its good. But as wonderful as it may be, i think that it is just a ideal rather than a truth. For every person living life purposefully there are so many others just wasting away.... but then again does that disprove the idea behind the quote or rather prove it further by providing an example of what happens when a life isnt lived purposefully.... hmmm... ive confused myself. well. ohkay. time to study for test number 1 out of 3379. wishing luck is accepted at this time.

Mary J. Blige- Rainy Days
Hilary Duff- Come Clean
The Weather Girls- Its raining Men
Tim McGraw- She's my kind of Rain (?Says my roommate- ive never heard of it)
Sting- After the rain has fallen
Prince- Purple rain

thats my list for now...

Quote Installment #2

OK, so here goes my second post about a quote just to see how you guys like or think about it. Thank you Emily for reading over and responding to my last post, loved the input.

"The Purpose of life is a life of purpose." -Robert Bryne

Leading and going through life without a drving force or purpose to it makes no sense to me. Goals, dreams, aspirations, and whatever else you desire should bring everything you do to some kind of step towards that goal. Any thoughts?

It is late

It's pretty late right now and I am still awake. I finally got a start on a speech I had to write and almost have it finished. I had no ideas for it for the longest time and I went to the student center and got away from everything to just clear my mind. I wonder if it will snow at all today.

Happy Valentines Day

well i wasnt sure if we were supposed to post today but oh well haha... all i pretty much have to say is that im sick of my team losing in basketball!! it is my fav sport and i hate losing but the past 2 weeks we have lost in like the last min!! ugh oh well i'll try n not to be soo competitive for now... well happy valentines dayy to all!!!

Why?!

Why is it when you get work it comes in giant clumps? I have a 5-10 page paper due on monday and a test, a test on fri, and I have a midterm for history tomorrow/thursday. Why don't we just space it out a little so that I can go about my life like a sane person instead of ranting on about the morality of the founding fathers? Is it really necessary to have this all at once? I think not. I'm calling this my formal protest.

Letters

As I'm sure that most of you have heard there was a letter writing thing tonight in Redwood to send out letters. A lot of my friends came and wrote anywhere from 10-50 letters which is great. I however, not really sure why, felt the need to write 147. It's safe to say that I have no desire to write another letter anytime soon. I'm still not sure why I wrote that many but I figured it was for a good cause so in the end I guess it was all worth it!
