• Co-worker:Where do you go to school?
• Me:Appalachian State in North Carolina
• Co-worker:Oh, I'm from North Carolina! I have some friends who go there.
• Me:Oh that's awesome
• Co-worker:You know... your music taste suddenly makes so much more sense to me.

but i miss Boone already. this city is no longer the place for me. boone has stolen my heart. please let me go back down south.

i can’t wait to find out if i get to go to pref night for ZTA! so nervous. yet so excited. yet so nervous… for that text. ahhh!!

just studied for sociology from 9pm until 2am. that’s five hours. that’s also five times the amount of time i’ve spent on sociology since the beginning of the semester. gotta rock this “celebration of knowledge” on thursday. muir is a strange human being so i bet he’s gonna put a lot of random shit on it, so i am going to have to be over prepared.

in other news, the president of my dorm was somewhat impeached this evening and therefore I, as previous vice president, have assumed the role of president. little do they know it was all a part of my evil scheme and now i have assumed enough power to stage a takeover of eggers residence hall…mwahahahahaha. but first i must find a side kick in the form of my vice present. where oh where shall i find you?

i am volunteering at against the grain farm today with karma krew for my sustainable development class!

it’ll be “a little yoga, a bit of farm work, a lot of fun!”

i’ve been looking forward to this every since she announced the opportunity — i can’t wait!

So I’m working on my sustainable development assignment, which is about the mistreatment of indigenous peoples in the name of conservationist movements, and it’s making me really pissed off at the way some people think in total disregard/disrespect for the people and the earth (and how they’re meant to coexist) … and so I’m ranting in my notebook. This is getting to be a common occurrence—getting emotionally impacted and/or inspired by what i’m reading for this class, that is. I think that means that Sustainable Development is what I’m supposed to be studying. I’m having a meeting with my advisor next week to talk about switching my major to Sustainable Development with a concentration in Community, Regional and Global Development.

Anywho, here’s that article if you want to read it. It’s really interesting.

come on, boone.

it’s the good kind of soreness though.

sore through improvement and accomplishment.

battle wound soreness.

thank you, day two of rock climbing.

loving it.

i will be headed down to boone.

i cannot contain my excitement…

or those butterflies.

boone, get yosef prepared for some maddymudd.
