In other news, I had a very pleasant break. Thanksgiving was good, I had much turkey and other festive food. I completed my goal of running the Turkey trot in less than a half and hour, and even defeated my dad by a few seconds. That actually was quite fun. My mom took me to Starbucks a few times, I had some laughs with friends, I worked a 13 hour day. Life was good. I purchased some things on BLACK FRIDAY, namely the aforementioned show, Season 7 of Seinfeld (which is hilarious), an external hard drive, and Good Night and Good Luck. Money I really don't have, but I was overcome with American materialism. It was sick, I sort of feel bad about it. But I saved money from the regular prices, and I actually did need the hard drive. Good thing I got to work 20 hours. Walgreens, you save my life.
I have a cough. Not a cold. A cough. But it won't go away. I'm a pretty easy-going guy, but it's starting to get a bit old. I'd just like to stop coughing. And according to Dr. Chang, there's really not a lot to do but let it run it's course. That irritates me.
Rage.
My senior paper, entitled A Rebirth of Freedom: Antifederalism and the Republican Party After the Ratification of the Constitution is officially done and turned in. Which is a great relief as well as a great freer-upper of time. Those hours spent in the depths of the library can now be used in the practice room, or watching Seinfeld. It's just so weird to not have a crushing load of work overburdening me. I leisurely ate dinner in my room tonight and leisurely took notes on my upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. and JFK paper. Then I leisurely sauntered over to the music building and practiced bass trombone, after which I leisurely talked to Mott and leisurely walked home again. Then I leisurely watched 24, and am now leisurely blogging while leisurely listening to the Empire Brass. It's nice.
I watched a full Youtube video of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech tonight. It was beautiful. I'm tired, so I won't get into it tonight, but that was a man who got it right. And his buddy JFK was on the road too.
I'm tired. I think I'll leisurely go to sleep.

cheers.
