Wow man I'm in college

I keep meaning to write in this but when I get to doing it, I have nothing to say.  I guess I'll try to pull something out because I'd really like to maintain this on a semi-regular basis.
I've being doing the college thing for the past few months.  Overall it's been going pretty well.  Staying here for school has turned out a lot better than I had initially thought.  I have met so many new people, and occasionally seeing someone from City is actually kind of nice.  Experiencing Iowa City as a college student is like seeing it from a whole new point of view.  It's weird how despite living here for eighteen years, I rarely, if ever, walked along Clinton and Capitol, and now it's a daily routine.  Nor had I ever once seen the transition from class to class.  I never realized just how many people were here, aside from the whores I'd seen at night downtown.  Plus I've learned the upsides of thirsty thursdays, because two nights of weekend just really isn't enough.
The school part is going okay.  I think I expected it to go a little bit better.  It's just so hard to get the grades that had been so easy to get in the past.  I've found reversed the tutoring role, which initially seemed pretty depressing but now it's just fun.  Total role reversal.  Engineering's starting to grow on me, plus I don't think I could see myself quitting.
As far as friends and boys are concerned that's going okay as well, could be better.  I have made some really good girl friends.  As far as boys go I just don't know.  I thought I'd want something but now I think I just want to get adjusted to single college life for awhile and just have fun.  I think part of it is just my pessimismistic view of relationships.  I just don't see the point of them anymore.  You give everything to one person, become best friends with them in every way, and then one day it just stops.  And it can't just kind of stop it has to completely stop otherwise nothing works anymore.  And that just seems really stupid to me even if it is unavoidable.  That was kind of a sidenote, whoops.  I need to stop thinking that way and just go with things.  But I think right now I just don't feel like having things go anywhere.  There are just too many options to be restricted by one. 
Anyway easily the best thing about college is ultimate.  I love everything about it. 
One more test tonight, then freedom.  Gone goin' straight up crazy yo.
There I said something.
