Random Thoughts and Occurences

I am amazed at how quickly one can adapt to the craziest of schedules. This semester is two weeks away from being over, and it is hard for me to picture my scedule minus school and homework. I mean, I remember what it was like to wake up late and not have to decide whether it was worth it or not to run through a shower and be late to my first class. Ugh. But now I have trouble sleeping past eight in the morning unless I go to sleep after three am.

A guy, no, a gentleman in the parking lot outside of Chipotle helped me realize a couple of different things: first, my left brake light is out; second, being helpful only requires that you don't care whether the person you're helping is going to grateful or not. I knew the second, but it is rarely as evident as when someone is helping you.

I had this conversation last night about how I rarely remember the things that I do for friends and family. I figure that when someone asks for your help you should give it, if you are able to. Unfortunately I seem to lump lending money into that category. I never remember if any of my friends owe me money, though I can tell you every person that I owe money to. It's important that I pay them back, but not that they pay me back. I also feel like I owe friends that would never ask for repayment of any kind. As much as I tell myself that these people want nothing, I still can't let it go. Someday I figure these people will get something really cool from me.

Like an autographed copy of Fight Club.

Autographed by me of course.
