I agree with what Samantha said, that there is something troubling about college but I don't know what it is yet.
The class that I am taking is Ethics, and there is only one other freshman in it. It is very good so far, and all we do is discuss our readings. We only have one paper due all term, but we have to read about 9 books. We just got done with Plato's "The Trial and Death of Socrates" and we're now starting Aristotle's "The Nicomachean Ethics". It has helped me with several things that I have been wondering about recently. Yesterday we discussed love and friendship, and it was very interesting.
D, I'm sorry for not returning your call. I still have the letter which I will send. Whenever I'm thinking about what to write to you, I know exactly what to say but then I sit to write it, and I can't write anything at all.
Here at Cornell we don't have fraternities or sororities, but instead "social groups". Practically all my life I've been really against them and promised myself that I would never join one. But as many other things have changed, so have my views on that so I will most likely join one of them. But I have until spring to decide.
I still feel like I'm on summer break, or at some camp. I don't even start class until 1 o'clock, and even then it's altogether only about 1 1/2 hours. We have a 10 minute break inbetween when some of us just go outside and play with frisbees.
I'm afraid that I'm becoming the type of person I hated throughout high school. I'm quite confused and don't really know what to do.
The other day I fucking got a speeding ticket. It's a weird story, I won't explain it. But as I was coming back home, I also hit a squirrel and killed it. When the cop pulled me over I started to cry, and then he yelled at me for crying, so I cried even more. He was such a jackass. I hate myself. My parents are so pissed off. But tennis is going really well.
Right now there is a strange guy sleeping in my room. My roommate isn't here and I have to leave.
