last weekend:
i drove down to santa barbara on thursday afternoon with one of my suitemates, dave. we stayed at his house near thousand oaks thursday night, then woke up early friday morning to reserve a campsite north of santa barbara at el capitan state park. we did this because last weekend was the class of 2004 cornerstone surf and camping trip. as it turned out, there wasn’t a whole lot of surfing, because the waves pretty much sucked. instead, we played hours and hours of beach football and volleyball. i had lots of fun scrambling around the seaside cliffs in the cool air that brought out the bright blue of the sky. we cruised around santa barbara like the studly men that we are, picking up chicks left and right. there were so many chicks following each of us, you would not believe. we barbecued and lit stuff on fire and generally had a sweet time. i slept outside in the 40-degree weather, no tent: just sleeping bag and therm-a-rest. it was gorgeous to roll over and see the ocean shimmering with the reflected light of the bright moon, and to feel the strong sea breeze. california is where it’s at.
next weekend:
i’m going home on thursday for my sister’s graduation (which is the following monday). i plan to (a) see the matrix 2 with my friends, (b) hang out with my friends and family, and (c) sit in the spa for an obscene amount of time smoking various forms of tobacco and reading. this will more or less be the extent of my time at home, and i will love it.
now:
in between these two trips, i will struggle to find motivation to (a) catch up on the work i didn’t do last weekend, and (b) get a head-start on the work due when i get back from next weekend’s trip. in the end, i won’t find that motivation, and i’ll spend way too much time sitting in front of my computer either procrastinating or….well, that’s about all you can do with a computer i guess.
on the positive side, there’s really nothing due until 2 or 3 weeks from now, when i have 3 massive papers and projects to turn in. also, tonight i’m playing laser tag. life is good.
