Chillin'
So, I'm just sitting here in my dorm... Going to watch some Host Club, but it's loading so I have to wait. My classes went really well today... Well, so far they always have lol. I love this school so much you would not believe. I actually think my life is improving in general. I haven't felt nearly as depressed since I moved here as I have for the past couple years. I think it has a lot to do with being around people who share my beliefs. I love my friends in South Dakota, but it's really hard to talk to someone about your true feelings when they deeply involve beliefs that the other person doesn't share. I feel so free here, like I don't need to be as self-conscious as I have been for, honestly, most of my life. Everyone I have met has been so welcoming and kind to me. Early Saturday morning I went to an abortion clinic on an outreach mission with Students for Life... Kate went too and we were talking later about how crazy it is that you can pray with people that you've never even met before and it brings you closer to them. And I can't even say how much I love how gentlemanly the guys here are. I literally get at least five doors a day opened for me, and on Saturday morning when it was cold and windy in Pittsburgh, a pre-the. named Matt who was praying with us offered me his jacket, even though he was sick.
Anyway, there's a Sadie Hawkins dance this weekend and I haven't decided if I'm going to go. Kate said she wants to ask someone and told me I should too. I don't know though. If I ask someone and he says no then it will just be awkward. And let's face it, it would probably be at least a little awkward no matter what. I'm not even sure who I would ask. There's a guy in Kolbe named Mark that I talk to a lot... But he's shorter than me... I guess that sounds mean, but I have it from a reliable source that guys really do prefer girls who are shorter than them, which makes sense... I just wish I were normal height. And pre-thes aren't allowed to go to dances, so that rules out at least three of the guys I know... Plus this school is already about 6:4 girls to boys. Well, I'll probably just go without a date anyway, unless Kate uses force, which might actually happen... We'll see.
