I hate it. Commitment, that is. It's pretty obvious when I look at my life. Just don't tell my girlfriend. And while we're on the topic, we should probably talk about what has changed since March 11.

• First. I am in college. In NYC. But I knew I would be here, so that isn't really a change.
• Second. I got a job building trusses for houses over the summer. Didn't expect to do brute labor - I'm not really cut out for it. So a surprise.
• Third. I met (and liked) a girl. Then she liked me. Now we are dating (and we like each other) And it was long distance, except she is moving to NY for spring semester. Which is a good thing. She even has a name - Alyse.
• Fourth. I made a bunch of new friends in college. At the cost of most of my old friends. Of whom many were ironically enough not my friends. Ever. Or so it seems. But those of you who are/were -- here's looking at you.
• Fifth. I'm in New York. Going to college. (This is worth another mention.)
• Sixth. My computer has been broken for about six weeks. I have been without my own computer for the longest time since my parents took my HP Pavillon away for eight months in seventh grade. Long story. Hopefully God deigns it proper to return my laptop before eight months pass.
• Seventh. I've only completed five or six books since the first week of summer. This is bad.
• Eighth. I have developed an affinity for walking in front of cars, eating cereal, peanut butter sandwiches, and pasta, cursing tourists, flipping off taxis(only when it's raining), watching movies instead of doing homework, studying literally all day (in the 24 hr sense of the word), understanding the MTA map in the subway, and arguing about the fastest way to get to Battery Park from Columbus Circle.
• Ninth. I still don't drink coffee. Not really a change, but worth mentioning.
• Tenth. My favorite release is to stand on the roof of my apartment building, watching the city in the shadow of the Empire State Building, thinking about how I got here and about the future.

Maybe I'll have another nice list like this in a year. Hopefully. That's number eleven, actually. I'm a lot more receptive to change now. Anyways, I missed this. Oh, and the thing about commitment? I obviously didn't like my commitment to Xanga, I'm somewhat withdrawing from Facebook, my posts on my other blog are sporadic at best, and the last time I visited any one internet site in one week, it was Google. Anyway.

I'll leave you with this thought -- the best part of living in NYC is reading the Wall Street Journal and NY Times every morning. When people are supposed to read them. Instead of three days later, like in Iowa. Current events awareness? Check.
