The end of summer

Here are some new things in my life:

New Job: Working on the events crew at school. This includes taking care of cleaning the various sports venues on campus, and being there for set up and take down of events in said sports venues. I also have to be there during events to clean anything as needed. I like my job, my co-workers and managers are all fun and humorous people. It's definitely different from any job I have had before, but I like that it keeps me moving and active, and time flies by where you are detail cleaning various parts of a basketball court. Plus I ran into the men's basketball coach on the elevator and even had a short conversation with him, which is awesome because he is practically worshiped by the student body. Nobody ever gets to talk to him, any many people are too scared to try. Luckily he greeted me first in this case.

New favorite movie: Fantastic Mr. Fox. Incredible animation and the dialogue is genius. It's definitely in the "hilarious and heartwarming" category, but the humor goes where many other movies don't, with many precious awkward moments. It's pretty quotable as well. Being from a Roald Dahl book, the storyline is, of course, very fun. The soundtrack is great. Definitely in the "buy ASAP" category for the DVD and soundtrack for me.

New major: I changed my major to Family, Consumer, and Human Development, and the new semester starts on Monday. It's very similar to my old major. I don't feel all that excited to learn yet, which is a shame because usually I am excited for at least one class just for the subject of it. I am having a hard time feeling committed to a major. As my sister and one of my old roommates has said before: "Can't I just major in crafts?"

New TV show of interest: My sisters have been watching a lot of Bones lately, and that is a pretty fascinating show. The characters are so quirky and fascinating, which is what really makes this show stand out. It makes me think about how interesting people are, after all, it's my interest in people that keeps me somewhat interested in my major.

I though a lot last week about whether I am an interesting person or not. Everybody is a lot less simple than they seem. Well, that's obvious.

Everyone is complicated, but I don't know if all those little complications and quirks people have matter so much as what they choose to do with what they have.
