Hallelujah

I just cannot concentrate for the life of me. I have a paper due here in a couple of days and I can do nothing but listen to the song Hallelujah and sit and wonder what on this good green earth I am going to write about.

So let's loosen my fingers a bit.

Today I woke up feeling pretty good. I ran 5 miles last night. I couldn't concentrate on homework and I had so much energy I just kept on going. I didn't stop when I usually do and I couldn't help but concentrate on going farther and farther. It felt good and I woke up refreshed but tired. It's a good combo in my humble opinion. It was also rather warm. I'd say shorts weather for here, of course it was only in the high thirties I believe. But, man, it felt so good not to have to wear a jacket or a coat. I really do enjoy the warm weather.

If I can survive this week school wise I believe this semester will turn out rather good. I hope that I can get everything done that needs to be done and without experiencing death-by-schoolwork. I really, really do not want to pull an all-nighter.

I went to Last Poet Standing tonight. It's where students read their original poetry and each week one person is let go. I have really enjoyed them so far. I realized yesterday that one of my favorite poets is in one of my classes. If I could I would write poetry. Sometimes I feel that poetry is the only way to effectively express feelings. I will someday improve on that skill, but not today.

Well, I believe it is time to go. I will go buy some chips......hopefully to help me concentrate. I know, I'm not sure how they will but it sounds convincing to me and that's enough right now.
