my mind get's poetical at 4 am
it's chilly out this morning. just cool enough to send the occasional shiver down your spine. the deck is wet from last night's drizzle, making my feet tingle. there's a faint breeze. birds are singing. it started a few minutes ago, with one. just one. now there's a symphony all around me. but it's not just the larks. the breeze, the stream, the very stars are singing. it's almost dark, but for an ever so slight glimmer of light in the east. it'll be dawn soon. there's a plane crossing the sky, and a siren in the distance. civilization is starting to wake up, interrupting the perfect harmony of nature. another day is beginning. but maybe, just maybe, tomorrow's 4 am will be as beautiful as this one.

in which i deliberately put off chem homework
3 days. that's all i have left.
3 days. and then i'm done with classes. done with chemistry, done with bio, done with MATH!!!
in some ways, this scares me. it feels like only last week i was skipping into fsc, ready for adventure, ready to take on the world, ready to see how this college thing would turn out. and yet, here i am, almost done with my freshman year. how can i feel like such a newb and such a pro at the same time? i suppose it's sophomore complex. you've heard of senioritis, now i give you sophomore complex. as defined by the national dictionary of siobhan, the sophomore complex is "the stage at which a student thinks they have a firm grasp on this school gig, but really have a very long way to go". this is what i feel like. i've been through finals before, i've dealt with registering, i've figured out how to study (but have yet to put my plan into practice), and *BONUS* i've made a few friends. as the new englanders say "i'm all set".
but am i? who knows how and if i'll be able to cope in upcoming years? who knows what strange and life changing events may occur during the time i plan on finishing college? who knows the course i'll be taking after this year?
i sure don't. good thing God does. otherwise i'd be freaking out. and i feel like i'm seeing this everywhere i look. some girls i know at school have completely screwed up their college careers and maybe their lives by not taking this time seriously. they've realized that there comes a point when you have to face your circumstances and take responsibility for your actions. but unfortunately, this generation doesn't understand responsibility. we drink ourselves into oblivion, we celebrate 4/20 like there's no tomorrow, we throw our virginity out the window without a backward glance. live for the moment, right? then suddenly, the moment's over. and then we crave more. we crave until it consumes us. it's not until reality comes and smashes us in the face that we realize there are consequences for our actions. then we have to deal with them. do we face them? do we run? do we give up?
i've been tempted to give up so often this semester. it literally has been a nightmare. 3 extremely hard classes, 2 labs, and seemingly endless tests, quizzes, and homework assignments. finals week is just the icing on the cake. 4 finals (all cumulative, no take-homes) and a lab practical. i can't tell you how many times over the past few months i've thought to myself, 'we're all gunna die anyways so what's the point?' and i can honestly say that nothing would make me happier than to be taken home this very instant. but God has other plans. plans for my future, plans to prosper me, and most important, plans to glorify Him. so as much as going to heaven right now would be GREAT, i have unfinished business down here. God started a good work in me, and He's going to see it to completion, sophomore complex and all.
ps i finished all four seasons of psych. obsessed? just a little.
oh, and word to the wise, don't get into a tv show that has multiple seasons that you MUST see with only a few weeks of school left. i learned the hard way.
but it was so worth it.

i'm sensing a new playlist in the making
why hello folks!!
ya know those songs that were so popular back in the day? like, early 2000's? remember those? well, i recently heard one of those songs, and it sparked a revolution in my brain. and now i must list them.
BLUE (da ba dee) - Eiffel 65: this has literally been one of my favourite songs since i heard it almost 8 years ago. it makes me think of fun, carefree times. just hearing the chorus makes me smile. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc)
WALKING ON SUNSHINE - Aly & A.J.: one of those disney channel hits that you never quite get over. this song always makes me think of summer, friends, laughter, and good times. i want to jump up and down like a little kid when i hear this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gC8wZqnmdo)
A THOUSAND MILES - Vanessa Carlton: hearing that piano intro transports me to the spring and summer of 2002. long car rides with the windows down, hand riding on the air rushing by my face. listening to this song has always made me think of bright colours. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwkej79U3ek)
HEY JULIET - LMNT: i don't know what it is about this song, but despite the terrible cheesiness of it, it's embedded in my brain as one of the ground breaking song of my childhood. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVzXe6kr9rA)
ABSOLUTELY (Story of a Girl) - Nine Days: this is one of those song that i'll never forget. i would sing the chorus over and over again till my whole family hated me. classic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3jx9Wl04sw)
COMPLICATED - Avril Lavigne: everyone's favourite skater girl. such a classic. i never could sing the chorus of this song though. i got fall, crawl, get, what? mixed up EVERY time i tried to sing it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGXYAJoDWCk)
UNWELL - Matchbox 20: the almost haunting quality of this song has always intrigued me, even when i didn't understand what it meant. when i did realize what it was talking about, i fell in love all over again. this song is a piece of art that few have surpassed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_TL9YFemic)
THE HAMSTER DANCE - Hampton the Hamster: you knew THIS one was gunna be on the list. so many impromptu dance parties by myself in my room when it came on the radio. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3G5IXn0K7A)
ISLAND IN THE SUN - Weezer: one of the best summertime songs out there. reminds me of running around with friends on an summer evening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C3zgYW_FAM)
HANGING BY A MOMENT - Lifehouse: this song has been one of my favourites for a long, long time. the message, the tune, everything about this song makes me happy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-SVDQ6A-Ps&feature=related)
HEY YA - OutKast: there are no words for this song. it's just so good. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw)
WITH YOU - Jessica Simpson: hate on me if you want. i love this song. it makes me think happy thoughts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWl7WjAtBME)
GET THE PARTY STARTED - P!nk: this song has such an infectious beat. and she talks about her mercedes. this one was also featured at my first paw sox game, ergo good memories. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKUs6UoKspA&feature=related)
CHA CHA SLIDE - MC Lyte: i've danced to this song tons of times and it's still as great as it always was. memories associated = block parties. every year we wrapped it up with this song. so awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSnvf7a8YMI
SOAK UP THE SUN - Sheryl Crow: definitely one of the best songs of this era. this is a timeless classic. which expired years ago. but i'll still love it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYiGA_rIls)
there's definitely a song i can't remember the name of, but rest assured, "i'll think of it"
this has been a pleasant trip down memory lane. what did i leave out? (for the record, pop has gone nowhere but down)
in other news, i'm completely obsessed with psych. it's kind of an issue.
