I can't fall asleep for the life of me (yes I know it is not even 11 - I have the daily routine of an 80-year old). My mind is just going a million miles an hour. Not even the worried about the future or worried about work I have to do million miles an hour. Just a thinking about the past and certain feelings. A number of things are prompting this - talking to friends from both grad and undergrad about people in grad and undergrad; listening to Moby's "Songs" (greatest hits before he was on every tv commercial) which I listened to a lot during the first summer of grad school; a dream about a person I went to school with that I no longer speak with (not that I ever really did, she was kind of one of the background people that you wish you got to know more and still hang out with, like luca brasci in the Godfather movie, but you can just learn more about him by reading the book); writing "update" emails to professors; myspace stalking; Sivram being back in DC with a lot of undergrad people; taking a nap during the day; drinking a liter of pop; eating a lot for dinner; going on the Tour de France website yesterday (another thing I did religiously during my first summer of grad school - watching 3 hours of tour coverage nightly); the summer and warm nights, which always make me feel sentimental, specifically due to the fact that it is coming close to being two years from when I started grad school and one year from when I started my current job; it being three years from the summer I spent in DC. My mind just keeps going a million miles an hour and I am not sure that I want it to stop. All of these things are just combining to make me feel very strong emotions - specifically sentimentality, which I tend to be prone to. I don't know that I dislike it and I might even like it, but it is a touch overwhelming, and I do need to sleep.

Also, sorry I haven't been updating as of late. I know I have been bad.

Also, memorial day weekend was my three-year anniversary on (e:strip). YAY. Thank you (e:paul) for setting up this site even though I am a bad member.

I hope all is well with you and I love you all.
