(no subject)
Ok so it's been way too long since an update and WAY too much has happened (some awesome, some not so awesome), not the least of which has been leaving for college.
That's what i'm gonna focus on, even tho some more pleasant memories (think CONA and some chill weeks before leaving for Richmond)
College is pretty sweet, i mean it's always a pleasure getting more independence as you grow up. But i'm kinda frustrated right now at the social structure of Richmond, no offense to any particular spider who might possibly be reading this. See, the thing is, all this college does is drink. I'm sure it's not as completely widespread as it seems, but everyone i seem to know gets completely hammered every night. It's not that im against drinking or even a crazy party occasionally, but anything night after night is no fun for me. I know i'm not the only one who thinks this, but the social scene is set up in a way that the only way you find people who arent in your classes or in your (completely single sex) dorm is through the frat scene, and that means the only people you meet are the drunkards and heavy partiers.
So pretty much everyone i've met so far down here is the same person, and what's even more unfortunate is that person is not really that compatible with me. I'm working on trying to figure out a way to meet a more diverse group of people, but it's really hard. I think the people i'm looking for dont leave their dorms that often. Mostly because there is nothing for them to do.
Ok this is a rant, so to balance it maybe i will talk about the rest of what happened between my last post and the present time.
Firstly CONA was of course absofrickinamazing, which is my new adjective which means "the best week of my entire life." Of course, i knew it would be, because cona is inherently awesome, but the person(s) i spent it with made it even that much incredible. So many awesome different people with so many amazing ideas, i wish i was still there.
My last weeks of summer were also incredible. I really enjoyed spending the last bit of summer with my posse, tho the lack of a car was kind of dissapointing. And i really am excited about my classes this year, they seem really intriguing.
Well anyhow it's like 12:30 and i have nothing to do so I am, as pink floyd puts it,
"wasting away the moments that make up a dull day"
but i think instead i'll follow the example of Boston's lead man Tom Scholz, and
"close my eyes, and slip away...."
wow what an odd entry
