wearing down

i don't what it is but i am feeling extremely tired and worn today...it could be due to a number of factors:

1. i am tiring of the visual monotony, the white cedar shingles on every surface is beginning to be nauseating
2. the big city SUV traffic in a little town that has cobblestone streets and the angry drivers who give you dirty looks because you are walking on the roadside due to the fact that sidewalks don't exist
3. the heat...so hot in the studio, even with the giant airplane hanger fan
4. the prices...everything so expensive, at least i found a decent cafe with wireless internet access
5. the feeling of being on a reality tv show, i.e. big brother...i swear someone just thought it would be fun to put 14 architecture students together and see what happens when they are deprived of tv, radio, and transportation
6. the crowds are stressing me out...too much congestion, and it doesn't help that this place doesn't have any chain businesses...meaning that there are only 2 grocery stores on the whole freakin' island that EVERYone has to shop at...ugh


everyonce in awhile, i do stumble upon some good things though:
1. the walk thru the cemetery, and seeing the fog embrace the tombstones late at night and hover in the air early mornings
2. the fact that i am fairly close to the beach and windy breezes, how can i complain about anything else...
3. i am meeting more & more people who live in all different parts of the world meaning i will never have to pay for a hotel again....ever
4. (ack....can't finish writing...only 2 computers in studio and everyone is asking when i am going to be done....)
