waiting for the storm to come is even worse than riding through it I suppose. Everything is closed today. No starbucks, no internship, no going out.

Still, a good chance to catch up on reading, cleaning, movies and speaking in double negatives.

is what happened when sonic youth and joanna newsom had a lovechild. To any and all who stumble across my blog, take a listen, I highly recommend it.

other than that, it's been a very fun weekend. Had some time to myself and hung out with one of the coolest persons I've met in a while. Good times, drinks and late night conversations. Gosh I really needed someone to talk to, and I'm happy for the opportunity. I only wish these days would happen often.

aye.

I'm very curious as to how this summer will end.

In other fantastic news in the exciting life of Edgar, I worked a brutal 10 hour shift today at starfucks. Man, my feet are killing me. The only thing which made that shift worthwhile, other than the money, is seeing a close replica of the pussywagon as seen in Kill Bill, vol 1.

I'd post a picture, but I'm too lazy. google it yo!

busy, busy, busy little bee.

Today is Tuesday, which means

keep writing papers for Zwerling
study for LSAT (if time permits)
run errands for mom
hang with gwyn for a bit.
close @ starbucks :(
sleep :)

Then there's internship tomorrow, then keep writing, turn in all essays and assignments by Friday morning, close all weekend (hoorah!) book club meeting on sunday, and sleeeeppppp :0

I really hope this week is the last of its kind. I won't be busy anymore after I'm done with essays, so I'll have a bit more time on my hands to study and work.

I'm getting used to being out and about all day, but I still find that as soon as I wake up, I can't wait for the time when I get to go back home and sleep :]

- with the exception of exercise and visiting the gym 3 times a week, this is my life right now, well for the summer at least. Having two jobs doesn't leave much room for anything else, and if i keep this up for a long time, my transformation into a productive member of society will be complete :/

Ever since I came back from London I've found myself increasingly frustrated with the state of things here at home and about the way my life is going. In the long flight from the UK to Houston, my conversations with my classmates regarding what awaited us back home was constantly turning sour. Not that I didn't want to come home, because I really did actually. There were plenty of reasons to come back, and for the most part, vacation time had to end and I had to immerse myself back to reality.

For one, my grandmother died. I missed her funeral, and I didn't cry when I was told about it nor when my parents reminded me when I arrived back home. I was much more worried about my dad and grandfather to be honest. Being typical Morales men however, they didn't show too much emotion or concern when I tried to talk to them about it. Sometimes I wonder if I inherited this aspect of my personality from them. It's not apathy, although it seems to be at times. I just don't want to end up being so blah about things myself.

Then there's work. I have a second job, interning for a congressman here in McAllen. The job's alright, I suppose I'm learning things I set out to learn, and although it's more paperwork than anything else, I'm still helping someone at the end of the day. Only setback is that I'm working for free however. It's a shit sandwich that I'll have to take a bite out of, but I suppose I'll benefit when its over.

I still work at starbucks, close to 4 years now, oh god. It's there whether I want it or not, so I suppose that's good. I can't help but feel like I get the shaft when I try to leave to better myself. I'm working less days because of my internship, and the result is, as always, the shittiest schedule ever. It's good pay, but at this point in my life, they're not paying me what I'm worth. I need a new job.

And last, but not least, there's people back home. I went to a little get together friday night to celebrate some friends' homecomings from college and to officially start the summer get-togethers that mark my social life in the next two months. It was good seeing Daniel, amongst others, and he seemed to be pretty stoked about the warsaw record I brought him. However, I often found myself feeling detached, reserved and alienated from the people who are my friends back home. I can't and don't want to relate to the chisme that everyone was entertaining themselves with, and although I was nice to see people I hadn't seen in months, everyone seemed the same.

maybe it's the fact that college is coming to an end, or maybe its my frustrations with things and people here at home, but I'm having an increase desire for change. I know it wont come from my surroundings, and its often lead to the idea that I need to get out of here, for a really long time.

It's time to break some walls down, and make some serious changes.

there and back again.

back from the UK and jet-lagged as fucked. therefore, i will make this very short and do a real update later. I forgot it was going to be 1000 degrees here in Texas. I missed my family, mexican food, and a few other people, but other than that, things here seem to be exactly the same. I've got my fix now, I think I'm ready to leave again.

and they're off!
