Well, it was a decent weekend. Decent in that I managed to get out of bed both days and do stuff instead of sleeping all day. Friday night, me and Heather went out to the Hub with some friends. Saturday we woke up early and drove to Bradenton to go to the beach, only to get caught in a terrible rainstorm. We went to the outlet mall in Ellenton instead but, you know, it just wasn't the same. Evidently, it's tax free week so there were throngs of snotty nosed kids and over-bearing parents everywhere. Ugh. Saturday night I celebrated a friend's birthday at Ceviche in St. Pete. Sunday I did minimal amounts of hmwk and laundry and watched a few movies. I would say, it was the most productive weekend of the summer. Still, though, the hardest thing I do every day is simply get out of bed.
I got a 94 on my Human Sexual Behaviour midterm. Yay. Yesterday our class topic was contraceptives. Judging by some of the questions people asked, I seriously hope no one in that class is actually having sex because most people seemed clueless about even opening a condom wrapper. Jeez.
Since I'm going to be graduating soon, I've been thinking more and more about where I want to spend the rest of my life or part of my life. I really don't think I can take much more of Tampa. Right now, I function in a fairly contained environment. I go to USF, I go to my job (which is at USF), I hang out with my friends (who live near USF, for the most part) and that's it. I'm selective about where I shop and where I spend my free time, so as to avoid as many annoying people as possible. When I think about Tampa (and most of Florida, in general) all I can see now is how problematic it is. Over-crowded classrooms, pothole filled streets, useless public transportation, etc etc. I don't plan on having kids but if I did, I wouldn't want them going to school here. They need to put a limit on how many people can move here every year because there are way to many people here. I like the East coast, where I grew up, far better but there's so little of a job market there. It's very depressing to think about. I have no idea where I will end up.
