Today, as I made my way down the 5 South, I was wondering how much time I actually spend on the road or in my car.....Let's do some math here...(bear with me) I go to school (25 miles) 5 times a week. Going to work from school is about 15 miles - and that's at least 3 times a week. Well, I'll save you the other details, but the grand total came out to something around 500 miles a week - ya, 7 days! Forget the miles and the gas... what about the amount of time I spend in the car, where actually, the only thing I can do is DRIVE (we all know I try to do other things too.....but it never works---And I REFUSE to become part of the statistic of women putting on make up while driving..... not happenin!!) So, I guess my point is.... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!! Now you're thinking..... ok Shoosh....who cares!!! Well, ..... I hope you read Ara's latest log (the infommercial) about how he WALKS to where he's going and declines rides... I am waiting for that day!! THAT alone is reason enough for me to live somewhere like Mardooni...... trust me ... YOU try driving on the 405 or the 101 around 7am, 9am, 3pm...heck at ANY time!

So that was my venting session about having driven so much today. I'm also kind of worried, because I am not done with my Chicano Studies book ("Pocho") that I am supposed to have read by tomorrow 11am. It's ok.... I'll figure something out. Well, you stop and think... "Shooshig, you've had the book for a week almost...why didn't you finish?" .... My answer.... "No time -I was running around being Armenian! ". Funny you should mention time, because just today in my Earth Science class we learned about time and the months, and the year, and the earth, and the sun....and well you know that whole big mambo-jumbo. So it's thanks to those great scientists that we think of our day as 24 hrs. What I wanna know is....why would anyone think of classifying time? If it's not done today - it'll get done tomorrow...knowing what time it is doesn't change the fact that it's not done or can't be done..... WHO CARES what time it is... just go on. See, then there wouldn't be deadlines, or anything to worry about. Time would just seem endless....or would it? (And no, I didn't take my philosophy pill today, I'm just very tired) lol

Alright, so before I start questioning some other things I shouldn't touch at this late hour, I will head off to bed. Sorry if this log wasn't interesting, think of it as a Memo and not a log.... Short but sweet..... actually just a note to say, "I'm alive and well". :) TSUH!
p.s. - I almost forgot the weather..... It's wayyyyyy up in the 70's again! What's going on? Some people call it "earthquake weather", others don't call it anything.. hahhaa :) I have a diary entry from like 1986 that says we were swimming in Jan. and Feb.!!!! Global Warming.... it's happening!!!!!!
