waking up




today we got up, and ate some food in the Co-op (where college people cook food to eat instead of buying it) and that was pretty good. we put some bread, potatoes, and some green onions in an omlete, and ate a pear. then we went off to get some pens at the book store. after which, i got on this computer and wrote this post.
so far i have sat in on a psych class regarding memory and how it responds to tramatic events. later today i'm sitting on a genetic something or other talk.more on that later.
the campus here is really nice and filled with climable trees. it's usually overcast here, and it sprinkles every now and then but apart from that the place has a good feel to it. it almost makes me feel like i should actively be producing something or using my time to get something done. there is, from what i'm told, an on campus apple store that i have yet to find, and they have their own research nuclear reactor. there is still a chance that i may be able to watch it glow and what-not.

ok, now i'm home. it's been a while before i have been able to get on here due to massive loads of homework. i thoroughly enjoyed the time i had at Reed. I mean, the place has a Japanese Sword handling class. you don't get much more l337 than that. upon arriving back home, i realize that i feel like a trapped entity... i believe i described it best as feeling like i was stuck in a nontangible tar pit that is high school. i can't believe i'm learning inside one single building when i could be walking around outside for 45 minutes before the next class. or waking up at 8 pm instead of 550. the campus was beautiful. some of these pictures don't do it just for , one it was rainy. i try imagining it if it were sunny and i'm sure it's amazing. i've also noticed that just walking outside for those periods after classes is very stress relieving. just the fact that you aren't contained is a nice feeling. my next post will be full of the pictures that i could have put here but didn't.
