Alien World, Drifters, and Super Heroes

My mind is swimming right now with articles and books I'm reading. I take time to catch up on the news again (finally) and have been reading "The Razor's Edge," which has gotten me thinking about my life and about society. Also, I just finished reading a series of articles on NASA discoveries and research.

I love it when my mind is in a whir like this. It's really like there's no limit to what I can do. Today, I began thinking about a huge, international humanitarian effort, a side-business, and am craving a new book that discusses places I know little about (Asia, for instance).

It's hard to describe, and I know that tomorrow is a Zombie Day, but even though I have to wake up in 3.5 hours I just can't sleep. I have pressure in the side of my head, which happens when I'm tired, but I'm literally sitting here shaking my leg out of excitement.

Why? I don't know how to write down everything running through my mind, but the absence of homework due dates, the knowledge that soon I'll have a set schedule with plenty of free time and decent pay (plus several other compensations), gives me a huge boost in energy.

But I think I probably should go TRY to sleep. More than likely I'll read for another half hour or so, but I mostly wanted to start to etch out some ideas (by putting them in the title) so that I could revisit them later. Call me a nerd if you want. I'll explain all of this better when I get the chance. I don't really feel like tackling it tonight.

Soon,
