A college student’s dinner: pasta, pasta, and MORE PASTA. I’m not even a fan of pasta, not at all. Occasionally, I’ll have lasagna and ravioli during group dinners out but I don’t really ever crave it. Like some other college student, I’m too broke or busy to care about what I eat and pasta is a quick fix to a hungry stomach. I don’t ever buy jarred sauce anymore, I found out that I’d much rather eat my weird made up bacon-goat cheese-seasoned sea salt concoction. At times, I’ll mix up the flavors by throwing in pesto and diced tomatoes. Anything with bacon or goat cheese = glorious. I pretty much eat this made up pasta all the time.

I finally got internet today after a week of being moved in and it’s not even wifi because the router hasn’t arrived. ARGH. ETHERNET. It’s been a frustrating deal to wait around for the internet provider to say the least. I needed to get some stuff done while online but I’m actually grateful I got forced to a life without real internet. I like to step back from the norm once in a while. I see it as a time to stop, think, and reevaluate— what or WHO should I make a priority? Change is good. Where do I want to go, what should I keep and get rid of? All these thoughts.

I finally got around to going through photos and papers from way back (I’m thinking middle school-highschool days). I’m a bit of a memory hoarder I have to admit. Before I left for college, I had kept all these things in storage and wanted to scrapbook them somehow. I have a flyer from my very first show, a hire card I got from my very first job, notes from people, and prints of the very first photos I tried to edit. Some really bizarre crap. They’re all going on visual journals (I have about 4 now). I’m thinking of scanning some pages and maybe you’ll see how embarrassing I was back in the day (and also some things I got to experience while I was in Europe!). Does anyone keep some sort of journal (not tumblr) nowadays?
