everything has become more complicated since break. what is that? it kind of happened last year too: initially i hummed; then suddenly there were so many obstacles to contend w/ that i was only off-and-on happy until almost the end of the semester. certainly i'm in a better state in general than i was then but it still feels like a funny pattern to me. maybe i'm just not good w/ fall.

lots of goodstuff going on or on the horizon tho. harry potter on friday (ben and i already bought tickets). then my friends from home are coming to visit -- perhaps two, perhaps as many as four. AND the dsl cables finally arrived that enabled we barnies to hook up our individual computers in our individual rooms. internet! in my room!
also enjoyable: becoming friends w/ elizabeth who is blissfully, unrestrainedly sarcastic, yet sweet. sorelle and maria came over for dinner last nite and we discussed our possible living situation for next year. and rebecca and i had a long in-bedroom talk. those are the best kind but oddly there haven't been many of them til now. bedrooms were for seclusion. hmm.

film group presentation today; polisci tomorrow. i want to stop fighting w/ people. it's ridiculous. i want positive thoughts.
