On heartache, classes, the invasion of campus, and life in general...
Well, it's official. He's gone. It's so weird to be doing the whole routine of school without him. For the most part I'm fine, but then every once in a while it just hits me. My other (gayer) half is gone. He left yesterday, so by now he's already there. Yeah, Zack is in Florence and it's really strange to not have him here. It's even stranger to think that I probably won't see him for close to a year, either. Oh well....
Campus was invaded two days ago. It's really bizarre to see it go from nearly deserted to bursting with people. At first, I was rather opposed and resisting very heavily. This mainly resulted in me being anti-social and sitting in my room listening to country music and needlepointing. I've basically kicked that though, so yay!
I like having people in the apartment, though. Really not a fan of living by myself and glad I ended up in a group apartment and not in a single. Also, of good fortune, all of my housemates are very supportive and understanding of the Buffy habit. This comes in especially handy when Tamar has people over and voluntarily relinquishes the living room so that we can watch it. I'm so lucking to have understanding housemates. Plus, the electrician finally came, so the apartment is almost perfect. We just need to convince them our need of a microwave is legit.
Classes have been going well. No labs this semester is still kinda freaking me out, but I am taking two (well, sorta three) science classes, so I haven't totally surrendered my science major title. Behavioral Neuro looks great, the musicals class is like it was designed with me in mind, immunology looks interesting and the professor is really excited about it. We'll see how History of Greece and Intro to Astronomy work out.
Luckily, said lack of lab is allowing me to put in mucho hours of work, so hopefully I'll be able to put away quite a good chunk of change for London next semester. Yay for taking 16 credits, working 10 hours a week (plus three tours), being in an orchestra, and possibly taking an ExCo.
Sleep, who needs it, really?
So life is good, even if I am misssing my other half. Time here tends to fly, so I'm sure he'll be bugging the shit out of me soon enough.
