now
i've fallen way behind on my commonplace journal :/ i used to brain dump nearly every day (my june section is 40 pages long :o) and now i just can't. really sucks
now: october '26 
this month is looking to be a whirlwind. i've already taken a big exam, joined a new minecraft server, and hosted a relative for a week! and as i write this it's only the 11th of october. incredible.
blahblahblah
little joys
i went to the pumpkin patch and bought several interestingly shaped pumpkins. there was a little slug on the bottom of one!
my biology teacher lent me a really cool book on astrobiology... it's well written and engaging! i'll be sad to return it
i want to study astrobiology, specifically the origin of life on our planet the limits earth's version of life can withstand
i love to write analytically. i've had many magazine endeavors (most have failed lol) but i still interview friends for fun :]
