Stuff
La. Going home now. I'm feeling somewhat... at peace with myself. Funny, huh? And I feel smart, even though I'm not exactly in school this semester.
I picked up 'Reviving Ophelia' tonight. I only got through the first two chapters, since a random elderly lady named Mary started an intriguing conversation with me about Science, Religion and History (three of my favorite subjects!)
Hey... maybe that's why I feel so smart. She was really impressed with the way I was able to rattle off the changes throughout Mesopotamia over the years, Chart Alexander the Great's journey through Asia and locate the island many believe to have been the lost garden of Eden. I love getting compliments, but can't help to blush. It all makes me feel a lot more humble than I actually am.
Mary is, like, seventy. But I was amazed at her appetite for knowledge. I meet a lot of elderly people who are really stuck in their ways... then again, I also meet a lot of teenagers who are very stuck in their ways.
Okay, people in general are just stuck in their ways. It's refreshing to have conversations with people who have broader world visions.

I recieved a call from my mother tonight informing me that... I got called for an interview by the Radio/TV station putting on that creative program thingamer (I'm usually much better at words than this. ^ ^;;)
So... I might get in. All I have to do is pour on the charm like crazy come Sunday. I'm surprised I got a callback considering how bad my application piece was, but who's complaining?

Gregory ordered the FFT soundtrack. Bastard.
