Today is has been one of those days...

I've started taking the Metro to school, it's cheaper than gas + parking pass and that whole environment kick that everyone is on. For some strange reason, I can't stand bikers, I realise you're considered a vehicle, but that doesn't give you the right to drive in the middle of the road, connard. Also, if bikes are vehicles, why don't they obey traffic law? Ever see a bike stop at a stop sign? Didn't think so. Anyways, back to the Metro. St. Louis still has strongly divided lines as to what color of skin goes where, and as far as I can tell feelings are strong on both sides. And even coming from what was once dubbed "The Mississippi of the West," I am sometimes shocked at the deepness of racial animosity that can exist here. This is where I say I hate the Metro right? Not at all. It's been nice to not drive all the way to school. The few minutes that I do spend on the Metro helps me get my mind in "school mode" without driving getting in the way. And yes, I'll admit it I can be an angry driver (just look at the biking rant.)

I'm really enjoying school as well. The only bad thing about it all, is that I honestly believe that I should've been doing this sooner. I've held strong anti-french feelings since my mission, and the reason for this, as I believe I've said before, was that I wasn't as good of a missionary that I should've been. But, WOW, do I feel like I'm in the right place. Ever since I've decided to go down this road, I've felt like everything was going to be OK. It's odd, because, with all reason, I've left behind a rather rock solid career. All I feel now is that I'm onto a happier life for myself and my family.

So, yeah, it's been that kinda day. The kind I couldn't wait to get up for. The kind I don't want to go to sleep from.

Also, here's the preview for the film we watched in my language/culture class (it's all about language and culture through film, jealous?



P.S. I have read "First Meetings" (and as far as I know OSC hates the name "Ender-verse." And as much as I like a good dare, I have no interest in reading about teenage vampire angst. Besides, I'm not much for dares, I'm all about bribes.
