wake work sleep

I am trying to wrap my mind around this whole Special Relativity thing that we are talking about in my philosophy of science class, the idea that time is not absolute, it can move faster or slower depending on motion and perspective. Damn Einstein. Also, there is no such thing as simultaneity. So I guess two people cannot both reach orgasm at the same time. I am currently getting ready to write a letter in Spanish pretending I am Maria from the film Maria, Full of Grace, to her mother after she has decided to live in the United States.
I am supposed to register on Wednesday for all of my summer and fall classes. I kind of hate planning in April what I will be doing in December. I cannot decide if I should have all my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but have more papers to write or if it would be better to have one class at 1pm on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays with fewer papers to write. That would mean being on campus everyday which would make me more likely to work out more often. Also, this fall could be my last semester of college and I really like college so maybe I should be here everyday.

I think I want to be a communist, but not in the political sense. I want to have land and build structures on it to live and work in and if other people want to do the same then we will build them places to live and work in. I want to build as much of each building as we can ourselves, and have cummunal areas to eat and relax. If you want to teach yoga we can build a yoga studio, if you want to have a recording studio, we will build it, if you want to be a writer and all you need is a desk and a bed, let's do it. I do not want to drop out of society, I want to make society better. Maybe communist is the wrong word, maybe community-ist would be better. I want modest, well-designed structures out of inexpensive materials that provide safety and comfort. I want to come up with a way to make money from the outside world while working in my own. There are many options. I want to have a product or service that people can help create with minimal training in exchange for living and eating in our community for a few days or a few years. The master plan is so far from complete, this all costs money, and it cannot be done in a haphazard way, but I do not want to do it with any political or religious rule structures that are stifling or mean. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about?
