Where to start?
Well, first of all, I love classes. I love going to them, I love listening to whatever the professor has to say, I semi-enjoy taking notes. So as far as that aspect of college goes, I'm doing well. The more I take my English courses, the more I think about possibly being a high school teacher like my mentor Mrs. Janey Jane. Literature is just fun. But, I could see myself easily becoming bored with that and wanting to pursue something with more prestige like an editor or something like that. So I'm not sure...I mean I could be a Writing major and still teach if I wanted to, but like I said, literature courses are fun. I think I want to specialize in like...Women's Lit. I don't know if that's the legit title but something along those lines.
I enjoy weekends, especially when Jack comes up. The city has been good to me. The parties are not too ridiculous but they're not boring either. Other activities (movie nights, random excursions) are just as fulfilling as the whole college party scene...I don't need it, but it's a nice change of pace from time to time.
The only issue I am currently having is the lack of close friends here. I have Tasia...at a different campus who is already making close friends. I have Fish, but he's busy and in another building which makes hanging out a chore for him sometimes, I feel. I know he likes hanging out with me but I don't wanna be all up in his grill, yanno? Plus, what I really want is a good female friend here, preferably in my building, who I can do girly things with. I know it's probably asking a lot right away, but I want someone who shares similar interests with me, someone I can be comfortable around, someone I can complain to and listen to her complaints. I met this girl Ariel but I feel like, though she can be really cool and she's fun to party with, we don't have very much in common. There aren't many girls on my floor that I feel are similar to me, or even different! I would take someone with different interests if we clicked, yanno? It doesn't help that for whatever reason I'm really shy with meeting girls as opposed to guys. I don't know. I'm just going to give it some more time.
I have a hard time being too upset about the friend deal when I realize how lucky I am in other areas. I'm doing pretty well in my classes. I'm in love with Jack (Though I won't go into this too deeply because nobody ever wants to hear about other people's happiness, you know? They want to read about problems). I do miss my family but it's not an overwhelming homesickness that I was afraid of. I miss Carlisle but it's the same deal...it's nice to go home but I'm happy to come back to Pitt. Friends will come soon enough, right? It's not like I hole myself up in my room....I go out, I talk to people, but there's no one that's like "Let's be friends!" quite yet. Oh well.
That's the extent of it.
