where do you spend most of your time?
sorry fucked this up it was to be a poll
|
you should see the poll option right after the first post. give me a poll. I am bored.
or not, it might only show up while you create a new thread? make a new one. I want a poll. now. |
right now i'm either at work, on public transportation, walking, watching shows, at therapy, working out, grocery shopping, at walgreen's or cvs, or at the garden. on the weekends there is more variety.
i start school september 5th, so i will cut down on shows and have responsibilities that need taken care of in my free-time instead of just deciding to watch more shows. you know how some people have a sweet tooth? i have a television tooth that goes way back that can get out of hand. i started writing out a tv watching schedule in the summer when i was 7. i still remember the time-slots of all my favorite shows. and i watched a lot of shows that no one has heard of...i've still never met anyone who can talk about ghost writer or the torkelson's with me- not that there would be much to say. i cried when full house went off the air and watched barney until i was 12. television was an escape the same way that books were (albeit a much lazier one) and i think there's is something to why i watched a lot of shit with white people portraying an idealized version of family (besides the fact other options didn't exist except the cosby show and a different world and later the wayans brothers, but i watched that, too.). but shows at least showed me there were lots of versions of families that sometimes do not ******* a mommy or daddy. i also learned that from mrs. doubtfire. |
I'm starting a month after you, Columbia Chicago, I forgot what your college is?
I am very much looking forward to it, and the other hand I'm terrified, too. all this shit, and schedules, and assignments, and grades ...again! |
i start at depaul. i just got a little bit anxious thinking about it, too. but i love the challenge of planning and deciding how to spend my time well. and the added bonus of being productive. it's the shit.
my new study desk came in the mail and we just set it up last night. i don't need new supplies so i am trying to mentally prepare for school by slowly setting up a nice place conducive to schoolwork. |
last week i went to the winter garden on the 9th floor of the harold washing library to work off-site. they also have independent study rooms you can rent for free. the library is severely under-utilized.
the winter garden: http://www.cateredbydesign.com/images/hwlMAIN.jpg the library is one of the first places i was allowed to be alone. my mom would drop me off after school and pick me up before dinner. |
oh man, a desk/study area, I should probably consider that....
we'll be moving into our new home in Chicago at the same time I start college, I am not able to see it before I move right in, but I will have an office space at home and figured - that is where I'll study if I'm not working. but that's idiotic, really. It's been a while, but I always needed my designated spots, otherwise I can't concentrate because my brain won't switch to "you are supposed to study now." hm.... I already got some of the course books (because my classes are a wild hand-picked mess), and every day I open the "international copyright law" thing and skim it and treat it like I would at work - look something quickly up with no intention to learn/remember it. I need to rewind my brain to 10 years back when I still knew how you read when you want to learn what you read. |
to what part of the city are you moving?
|
Bronzeville, we moved out of the US last spring, after over 4 years in Chicago.
and since then I realized that Chicago is by now the place where I feel most at home. Visiting family currently in my "old home", Berlin, and something is just off. I don't feel like I belong here any more, I miss Chicago. |
