It's dark and rainy, just as it's been for the last few days. I have to remind myself to appreciate it, especially after all the times I've complained that it's never cold in California, that it doesn't rain, that we never have any real weather.

My first class begins tomorrow night. This semester I'll be taking that Intro to Internet class that I made fun of before (because it's an online class), an English class that I've already taken (but will not transfer from out of state), and a Survey of Asian Art.

Whenever I see rundowns of 2004 on tv or the top stories from 2004 online, all I can think is that I'm glad it's over. Each "important" event was run into the ground by the media - and though that always happens, it seems like it was especially nauseating this year. Maybe it's just that I'm getting old and for the first time, I'm starting to care about politics and current events. Better not to get worked up about it, though. Unless you're someone of consequence.

Perhaps this year will be better. I think I've said that before.
