driving into the night

Yesterday reminded me of my love of driving at night. On my way back from seeing Night at the Museum (lovely movie, by the way), it took me around 20 minutes to drive home. There were a few cars on the road, but not many as it was around 11PM. Driving at night is so peaceful, just the "night light" (soft rock night program) playing softly on the radio, and the road ahead illuminated by my headlights. On a winding road, a hint of light tells me that another car is coming, we pass each other, and then the road is quiet and dark again. No one's on the road to see how fast or how slow I'm going; no one making sure I'm following the speed limit. Speeding is fun, but I love going 30 on a 35 mph road where people usually go around 40-45, just taking my time and slowly working my way back home.

the spirit is willing but the body is weak

i'm jaded, but not jaded enough.

i wish that i could know what i want.

sigh

i think when you regret a good deed, that's when you know how truly selfish you are.

also, why are people so cheap? isn't a graduation present a physical representation of appreciation for what someone has meant to you over the years that you've known them? i understand being frugal, but some money is worth spending... think about how much money you waste every time you skip a lecture.

sorry for emo-ness. what a crazy weekend.

senior dinner

Tonight was ATS's Senior Dinner. A lot of work went into it, but it was all worth it.

I'm really going to miss the seniors this year. Maybe because they're so close to us in age, and the fact that once they leave, we're the seniors. Maybe because they're just awesome people. Maybe because they are role models who have been in my life for three years now, and I'll have no idea what to do once they're gone.

I've been dreading this since graduation last year... and I'm sad to say it hasn't gotten any better. So many of my good friends are '09, so many people that I love and respect and look up to and seek advice from and just enjoy spending time with.

I was talking to my friend from back home, and she mentioned how every year right before graduation, she always gets to know these seniors who are so amazing that she regrets that she didn't know them earlier. I've always felt like that's true for me too, but this year.. I'm really glad for the relationships that I have formed with the '09s and just hope that we can really live up these last few weeks and have a grand ol' time. :)
