the amazing maize maze

the corn maze last night was fun fun. somewhat uneventful, but good times were had. i got so confused by people walking in every which way that i finally gave up and resorted to just following people around like a lemming. i made it out...but for some reason i came out of the exit for the maze on the right when i went into the left maze. madness. anyway, i thought of an awesome name for a corn maze: the amazing maize maze. fun, huh? well, if you don't know what maize is, you won't get it. i thought it was creative.

fall break...oh how i yearn for it. only about a week away and desperately needed. i keep trying to speed this week up in my head...you know, thinking its thursday when its really only tuesday. it doesn't make things get any better. its a good thing its not thursday...i guess i should be thankful and take advantage of all the time i can get to study chemistry.

binocular (a music artist only known by me, it seems) woke me up at 7:10 this morning, but i had to cut him off after only a few notes from his soothing voice because megan was still sleeping. in fact, she doesn't have class until 3:30 on tuesdays. grrrr. i got dressed in the dark (daylight savings is coming up quick). chem lab is actually getting better and better. it was a simpler version of the lab that took four hours to do a few weeks ago. we were done in about an hour, which left me with 45 minutes or so to take a quick nap before sociology.

i find it odd how my classes seem to discuss similar topics. for instance, we were discussing prohibition in english yesterday because of an essay that argued drugs should become legal. today in sociology, we watched a film on prohibition so that we could see a textbook example of the labeling theory and deviance. we also read an article in soci on the differences in how boys and girls play and how it prepares them to fit into their roles in society. then we read an essay in english about how males and females use language differently...the conclusions of the two were closely related. statistics also ties in with sociology because of the studies sociologists make and what not. so far, what we've learned in chemistry has not yet been able to relate to my other classes...or my life for that matter. hmmmm. maybe there’s a reason for that.

back to that debate in english the other day, one of my classmates claimed that underage students that don't drink are social outcasts. i think to be an outcast, you'd kinda have to feel like you were one. i'm not quite sure, but from my experiences, i'd like to say that my abstaining from the consumption of alcohol has not made me feel like a social outcast. the people that would call someone outcasts are those that try to find their self worth in doing what they think would make them fit in. in a round about way, i kinda see those that drink to get drunk as people who are trying to not be themselves because they feel like social outcasts. so there’s some of my thoughts to ponder. well, i've slacked enough for this afternoon. yet again, time to get back to work.
