The Daily Show

I'm in the middle of watching The Daily Show for the first time since I got here. It makes me miss home in a strange way... I'll try to describe it but I know I'll fail.

So pretty much, I watched The Daily Show every day throughout high school except, I think, for when I was out of the country and when I was at PGSS. No matter what I was doing, or who I was talking to, or what I neeed to do, I would always go be in the shower by 10:45 so I could be in bed, under the covers, alarm set, ready to laugh and fall asleep to Jon Stewart recounting yesterday's most ridiculous crap. And I guess it was just nice to know that, of course, I could always fall asleep to that. But more importantly, it was nice to know that I had enough control over my life to be able to go to sleep at 11PM every night and not have to worry about anything not getting done or something like that - everything always got done. The only except was Hi-Q Cram Nights, but I only had like 15 of those and some of them were Sundays so whatever.

But it also has some really good memories attached to it... Two summers ago, I would always watch it with Erin after Law and Order: SVU. This summer, I would always watch it with Gina after whatever we had done that day or that night. And it was always just such a wonderful day to close the day. I often wasn't really tired at 11:30, but after that, I knew there wasn't really anything else I'd like to do... so I often just went to sleep anyway.

I feel like there's more to The Daily Show and its role in my life, but I feel like I can't get into it right now for some reason.

I don't know if I'll ever get into a strict routine here. I don't know if I ever could. I'm not even absolutely positive that I want to. But the idea of it still makes me miss home and going to Garnet Valley.

Peace out!
