Okay. New goal in life: read the ones I haven’t/become overly literate/be that pompous to have read all of these.

So awhile ago, I read The Magicians by Lev Grossman. It was great, but it took a long time to read because whenever I thought about reading it, it always sounded so unappealing, but I came back to it because the fact that I hadn’t finished it haunted me. I always enjoyed it while I was actually reading it, but when I wasn’t, I didn’t want to.
The same thing is happening with the sequel The Magician King right now. I KNOW that when I read it, I like doing so, but I can’t stand the idea of doing so.
I just found out that there is a third book in the making, and I don’t want to read it because the idea sounds so awful, but I know I will because it’s a series and I’ve read the other ones, and I know I will enjoy it.
The same thing happens with San Diego county. I hate the idea of going there, but whenever I do, I have a wonderful time. After I committed and before I actually went to college in San Diego (the fact that SDSU is a party school aside), I didn’t like the idea that I was going there because it was San Diego. Which is a stupid fucking thing to happen in my brain, because when I’m there, I love it. The beautiful weather, people, scenery, culture, diversity, and history make it America’s Finest City(/County), but I usually can’t stand the idea of going there.
i have a massive urge to drop out of school, delete my facebook and tumblr, throw my phone out the window and get on a train to somewhere random and just go on a massive adventure
Was I just thinking about doing this? Yes. So, Tumblr, you’re a mind reader now? Great.
But really, I need to eat better to not ruin this whole working out thing. And to give myself the promise of a beach body attained during summer.

it’s my last night sleeping in this bed, in this room, for the rest of my life. I’ve spent an almost 7 and a half months here. I’m actually gonna miss it.
Now, to party and sing songs with my sing-song partner and hopefully be awake/sober when my dad gets here tomorrow morning.
that one kid that always feels the need to shout “cha cha cha” when singing happy birthday
the fucking gif ! LMAOit’s just a picture
autokinetic effect, obvi
Lauren,
Please stop freaking out about this bio test. Odds are, even if you fail it miserably, you’ll still end up with a B in the class. Even greater odds are that you won’t fail it miserably, so you might even get to keep that B+.
Bio is a hard class to take here, everybody says, so don’t beat yourself up over it. You probably will get a better grade in the class than the majority of the other people, simply for caring this much.
Don’t worry about it affecting your GPA. Odds are, it won’t be the worst you do in a class, and if it is, aren’t you glad it’s in a class that only counts toward your GPA and doesn’t matter for your major? You’re not a science person, anyway. In the big scheme of things, you’re better than what grade you get in a general education biology course. You’re probably going to become a better person because of the grade you get because you’ll learn that it’s okay not to get straight As and you’ll know how to and how much you need to study and focus in classes like this.
So relax, focus, and do the best you can, because after it’s over you can sleep and eventually warm up to the idea of bad test scores.
Love,
Late-Night Lauren
