My Day

[windandwater]

I watched a man fall down the stairs at the BART station this evening. He didn't fall all the way down them, he tripped and slammed into the woman in front of him, but managed to catch himself on the handrail. But he was hanging there, by the handrail -- his arm had gone through the space between the rail and the wall up to his elbow -- and prone on his knees for a very long time. Everyone on the stairs stopped, like we couldn't believe what we were seeing. Then everyone asked if he was okay, and he said he was. I thought he had broken his arm, since it had gotten caught. But he pulled himself free, and laid on the stairs for awhile, and everyone went away.

I didn't.

I stayed there frozen on the steps, feeling vaguely guilty that I hadn't done anything to help him, not even asked if he was okay. But I stayed there until he got up. He was holding his arm.



I managed to cut my finger while I was washing the dishes. It's one of my typing fingers, of which I have two (not including my thumbs). It's wrapped in a Blue's Clues band-aid because small children frequent this house and it was all that I could find.

This has no relation to the even mentioned above.



I bought my lunch at Briazz today. I don't know if I'm spelling that right. It's a sort of trendy, chic deli/cafe place where hungry businesspeople buy lunch. I had a Chicken Caesar Salad, some Chicken Vegetable Soup, and a Coke. I think I like the idea of having a salad at least once I week. It's very healthy. Expensive, though. And I didn't like the salad as much as the ones they make at Specialties, but I think that's because they didn't use Romaine lettuce like you're supposed to. It was also smaller. And I burned my tongue on the very hot soup. But it was good. At least now I know where to go when I get my baked potato cravings.



I picked up my bluebooks from last semester's Finals. They're sitting in a pile on my green box. I refuse to look at them until the weekend. I already know my grades... why should I torture myself so? But now it's really kicked me in the ass about how I should be studying more. One of my Section-mates made the Dean's List. I need to get better grades. I can't fail. I can't lose my scholarship.



I'm seriously considering studying abroad if I don't get an internship for the summer. I've always wanted to travel and see new places. Of course, it's also a whole lot of money that I can't afford to spend. But the programs are usually tailored towards International Law, which is a plus for me. Maybe if I actually liked the subjects, I would learn something. But where would I go? The school has programs that go to Thailand and Istambul, but I could always apply for other school's programs and go someplace else... Japan? England? Rome? France? Spain? Russia?

I don't know yet. I guess I'll wait to see if I get interviews.

But if I go... what will happen to AX?



aoi gave me a book for Christmas. It's Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and it seems very interesting. The problem? I can't read it. Maybe I'm not in the mood, or law school has fucked my mind totally, but I haven't been able to fall into the book. Also... there's a certain tone in it that I don't particularly like, but it's hard to explain. Maybe I just don't like the author's style of writing, but I know that's not it.

Maybe it's just me.

Of course, the fact that three of my favorite books ever happen to be Slaughterhouse Five, White Noise, and Catch-22, might have something to do with it. *sighs*


EDIT... It rained while I was in the Library studying. I am blaming this on kochou. First, skyblueandblack gives me earthquakes, now rain. If pre-pubescent boys start hitting on me, this will be blamed on aoi and I will have been attacked by the plagues of my friends.
