So, I really don't enjoy reading political theory. I take that back. I'm really just lazy. It takes so much concentration for me to read it. Instead I'm going to write in here.
Back at Bryn Mawr again. I had a really really nice fall break, but I didn't write which was kind of disappointing. I stayed at home until Tuesday. I really missed everyone without realizing it. It was so nice to have a sleepover and catch up and get a little buzzed. :) And see my family of course. Lee, Corrine, and I also went on an apple orchard excursion. The leaves were gorgeous at home, and I can't wait until they're like that here. So then I went to my sister's until Thursday. West Chester is a cute little town. We shopped, and I saw Becca, and I ate really really good ice cream. I came back to Bryn Mawr Thursday, unpacked all my shit, did laundry, ran, wrote my paper, did homework, etc. It was around 8 when I finally finished a good amount of stuff, and then I'm like, fuck it, I'm getting on the R5. So I stayed at Andrew's for three days (only planned to stay for two, but then I didn't want to leave...). We went on a picnic in Rittenhouse Square. He makes me happy. I feel more than I ever have before... Anyway. We met up with Chelsea and Becca, and I pretended to shop since I'm broke. Ooo and we saw Religulous which was really good. Basically I watched movies the whole time I was there: The Matrix, The Bucket List, Religulous.
I saw a couple who just got married taking pictures on a divider in the middle of the road in front of City Hall. They put rose petals all over the road. It was so cute:)
Okay so now that I've bored you to tears simply describing what I've been doing, time for some reflection.
Going to other colleges makes me realize how much work we actually have here. I mean, kids in other schools can socialize and go out on weekdays. Sometimes I wonder if I've made the right decision coming here because it would be so much easier and cheaper to go somewhere else. But then. I love it here. It does suck that I work all the time, but then it does feel like I'm learning a lot. It's hard to be proud of myself, and that's the ammunition I need to keep going sometimes...
I love BMC:)
Alright. I really need to read Thomas Hobbes now. My apple cinnamon tea is all gone.
