today, i can't be bothered

i'm cold. logically, that means i should shut my window, but my desire for fresh air and the fact that i would actually have to get up to close the window supersede logic at this point. this is really the first day that i've been actually cold, though, which is pretty good, i feel. going to town in flip-flops and a t-shirt probably didn't help . . . it was warm this morning, in my defense, and i just felt like wearing flip-flops.

i'm stocked up on groceries now, which feels good - i actually have milk! for the first time in about a week, simply because i'm lazy.

anyway, my trip to town was very successful; not only did i get groceries, i got hiking boots and a shell (pants and a jacket). and now i can go on any of the hiking club's trips. i was already going on the social weekend this weekend, but now i'll actually be allowed to go hiking, which is kind of the point of going on a hiking club trip, yeah?

it's gorgeous today - blue sky and fall breeze and fresh, cold air. mm. i'm curled up beside my open window in my sweatshirt and blanket, i've just finished my cup of tea and crumpets (i made crumpets with cheese - they were positively scrumptious) and i am very satisfied with the world and my place in it right now.

i'm not going out tonight - i saw enough of the carlton at our flop of a welcome dinner last night that i'm not tempted to go back so soon. maybe not ever, but we'll see. i'm going to go to fusion (which is like a discipleship/fellowship group on campus) and just hang out there for awhile, get to know people my age (or older) for a change. although i did meet a pretty awesome fresher last night - he's a guitar major, and we talked about bluegrass for a long time while we were waiting for the stupid bus. it made me really happy because no one knows what bluegrass is here, and those who've heard of it before call it "bluesgrass," which is just wrong. so wrong.

i've got radiohead playing, again. it's quite an infectious album.

in the deepest ocean
the bottom of the sea
your eyes
they turn me
why should i stay here?
why should i stay?

i'd be crazy not to follow
follow where you lead
your eyes
they turn me

[radiohead]

i'm going to go enjoy the rest of my evening, i hope y'all do the same.
