Going Crazy

Stircrazy that is... I'm getting to the point where I can't handle being stuck in one spot anymore, and being on campus without a car is kind of THE most frustrating thing ever right now...  Tom downloaded all of the Planet Earth series onto his laptop and we've been watching them.  So far we've watched Shallow Seas, Mountains, and Fresh Water... except in the reverse order of how I listed them.  Also over the weekend I kind of got used to staying up till 4am sooooo I'm wide awake right now, even though I have a class at 11am tomorrow.  We'll see how that goes.

But anywho, this whole watching BBC and Discovery Channel's Planet Earth series has made me absolutely stir crazy and I NEED to go see EVERYTHING.  I just have this rabid curiousity and there are so many fascinating things out there.  In the Fresh Water episode they showed me salamanders that are two meters long.  That's 6 feet 6 inches.  They are as big as my friend John...  I could like... swim with a salamander that big.  And whales.  Omg.  There were whales in the shallow seas episode and they were gorgeous and so clumsy but graceful at the same time and I would love to swim with whales.

But so yea, this whole thing has me thinking its time to make a to do list because this is what I do when I'm going stir crazy and I know there are a ton of places I want to go and things I need to see and experience.  So here goes.
