i miss you i miss you

Despite the fact that for the most part I hate popular culture, I've often referenced some of the most popular song titles of all times in past blog posts. This time though, the name of the song is truly how i feel. For the most part, I try not to look too far into the future and instead try to focus on solely the present. I realize that it is important to be somewhat forward looking, but at the same time you have to get some satisfaction out of living in the current moment or all that planning is incredibly wasteful. I think that I have been able to do a good job managing the two. Today, I was actually interested in class because in international economies we started getting deeper into the international finance part of the course. Finally, it was something that I was able to take a geniune interest in. Money and banking is far and away my favorite class of the year and perhaps of my collegiate career. It's one of those rare classes that you get up and look forward to. Only once in my life has a class captured my attention that much and that was AP US History. In the end, the course material can be taught by anyone, but the instructor either makes the course worthwhile or sinks into the abyss with the rest of the teachers I've ever had. Fortunately, my professor is one of the two that I've ever had that can actually take regular material and make you want and need to learn it. I check the course website more than I do my own email, facebook, and blog combined because I feel that I have so much to learn from this class. The penguin game tonight was great because they played well and we had a few people over to watch the game which made it all the more entertaining. It isn't until everyone marches off to their rooms and closes their doors that those same haunting thoughts come back to me: I miss you I miss you. And you damn well know who you are.
