Mundanely Profound

I have seen on my friend's blogs complaints about work, along with ponderings about going back to school.

As is my self-centered nature, I will refuse to sympathize and quickly whine about being back into the whole academic structure after a year and a half break, and not entirely enjoying it. I wish I could just hide in a classroom somewhere and read every book about urban planning for 2 years and then I get a degree. But apparently, no one trust me to do that with my own time, and I have to turn things in for professors. And they actually have to be well-written, an organized narrative based on a limited knowledge gained from perusing through pages of a few boring books and articles (which would be a lot less boring if I didn't have to think about how I'm going to write a paper on it). Wah wah wah, school is hard. Nonetheless, the only grade I have gotten back to date was a big "A", so I'm doing something right. I hope that my restricted time due to my internship starting in April won't give me dangerously less time... in fact it might be the perfect work/school balance that will give me just the right time to get papers done and less time to write pointless rants like this.

I'm thinking about school too much, and my question for all my high school buddies and others (1, 2, 3 of you?), is what outlets or activities should I explore? You've all got quirky tastes, as I remember (I just thought of polka dancing, that was definitely unique!), but what have you explored in your new culturally rich cities since graduating that you would consider worthwhile to look into? I await comments. And if you still can't post them after all this time (cough Erin cough), I'll look around your websites for advice.
