So I finished my first session of the summer semester with A’s in both of my classes. That’s good, I guess. It’s funny, I didn’t even feel like I tried. But, on the other hand, I didn’t feel like I didn’t try, so that’s kind of cool. I didn’t overextend myself and I didn’t give up and quit, so that seems like a really good sign. I think it comes down to that specific ying and yang balance of caring and not caring.

It’s like this, I think: I sincerely care about getting through school. I also don’t really give a shit. But, I don’t give enough of a shit about not giving a shit to go to the trouble of disappointing myself by failing at it, so in the end I’m really only left with actually caring about getting through it. It really comes down to, “Well, I’ve already gone this far, (which isn’t really that far at all, shut up), so it would be pretty stupid to give up now.”

Really, though, I haven’t had any thoughts about giving up because it’s all been so ridiculously easy, and fun, even. I’m not even worried about my political science class at this point that is coming up next week.

I’m driving to Northridge in a little bit, an hour drive, to sell someone my Xbox. Going to hit up Fry’s after and use the cash to buy myself more memory for my computer. I do wish I had someone to go on the drive with me, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. I used to drive two to four hours every day just going to get something to eat when I lived in San Diego. Ten hours of my work week was spent driving long boring distances as well, so I should be used to it.

Oh well.

P.S. in lieu of my review of War of the Worlds, which may be coming, I will say: My mind was fucking blown wide open by this movie. So good, better than Batman Begins even and I tought Batman was the best movie I’d seen in at least a year. War of the Worlds is the best movie I’ve seen in something like three years. I’ve never felt so satisfied by a movie before. Helps if you’re not already familiar with the story, however.
