I have changed my major to Political Science officially and am heading towards some path where I can do that with my life. I don't even know what yet, specifically. It's kind of cheesy, but I feel like I can do something where I can make a difference in the world instead of just being some 9-to-5 salary slave destined for middle management.

This school year I am the Vice President of my campus' chapter of the College Democrats, which basically means everything that the President doesn't want to do (including most real political activities) get foisted upon me. I am also a member of the Legislative Action Committee of the College Democrats of America, a fact that would make me a lot happier if the Exec. Board of said group was not made up of a bunch of people who I find to be schlubs who are incapable of getting anything done.

Over the summer I worked part-time as a cashier at a Food Lion. Not terribly significant, but I feel like I've gotten a good snapshot of how "the system" works (or at least one area of it) and I'm more convinced than before that it really fucking sucks.

On a personal note, I'm presently engaged in a Cold War of sorts with my ex-girlfriend. Long story, that, but in a nutshell it is a pain in the ass to deal with. At least she's in Illinois so I can ignore her for the most part. And at least she no longer comes here because she never understood why I cared so much.

Turning 20 in November. It's too bad I'm not 21.

I'm also finally learning how to drive. Maybe by the winter I'll be able to take some jaunts outside of the Baltimore region on a whim. That's an exciting prospect.

That's all I can think of for now.

How about you, Will?

I know that's open ended, heh
