Happy...wait, Happy? Eh...Halloween
Y'know what sucks? Being coaxed into celebrating a holiday you couldn't really care much less about, all because you wanted to see someone you kinda liked who just turned out in the end to be a shameless flirt.
Guess what I did today.
Yeah, I got convinced by a friend (the aforementioned girl I kinda liked) into going to the Mall of Georgia to celebrate Halloween with her and some friends of hers (all but one of whom I've never met before and took an almost immediate disliking to). Normally I wouldn't have gone, as I just can't get into the spirit of Halloween anymore (aside from my odd bursts of Pagan spiritualism, but then that isn't the idiotic "costumes & candy & bad horror movies" kinda Halloween, is it?), but by the way she was talking, it sounded like she might have had a thing for me and I figured this might've been our chance to hook up. Shame that it turns out that's not the case and she just hangs all over any guy she gets on a first-name basis with. So...yeah, with two people I disliked by default and one who I just discovered was leading me along on a damn leash, I was suddenly down to one person I could genuinely care to be seen in public with. And like the great friend he is, he understood where I was coming from and helped me to get out of there before the whole group buggered off to some neighbourhood to go Trick-or-Treating (yes...eighteen-year olds wanted to go Trick-or-Treating...my only friend there and I were pretty against the idea, but the majority won out). So I left, and came home, and have been lounging around ever since.
By the way, Joel, Drew, sorry I didn't heed your warnings about her too closely at first. I know better now, though it unfortunately had to come from getting burned first-hand. And Joel, thanks for being there for me, man. You freakin' rock.
Ech, gotta call around the school about dropping my Architecture class tomorrow (or is that later today?). It's either call around Monday and hope that clears it up, or skip class Tuesday (the hell I'm going back there) and ask around in person. Hoping for a nice clean break that, if nothing else, won't disrupt my GPA. I mean, nevermind all the reasons I've already listed, the class is doing me no good as an Animation student. It's a basics course meant to introduce Interior Design majours to stuff they'll need (and most of which I learned in high school). The CAD and computer-related courses I need are much later into the Interior Design program, and I'd burn up all my elective courses before I ever got there. Th'hell with that, I'd much rather take Mythology and film classes as electives...in their own ways, they'd be a helluva lot more beneficial (and, I'm guessing, less ludicrously tedious).
