Wah! Hey!
poorest smallest livejournal. you thought I forgot about you. I have not.
After summer, my life seemed to go in an unexpected direction. I transfered to RIT to study illustration. I started out living in the "RIT Inn" which is essentially a hotel 15 minutes from campus. I stayed there for about a month, then was shipped out to the dorms on campus. My roommate's name is Elizabeth and she likes anime and Linkin Park ringtones. Socially, I'm having a lot of fun being in close proximity to Keaton, Lauren, Ashley, and Kate the Plain. It's also nice to be a hop, skip and a jump from Geneva where people like John Standish and Meep the DeJohn reside. Classes are going okay... except I feel like a lot of the projects are redundant, and during the first quarter I had trouble deciphering different classes from one another because they were all so similar. But I suppose any work I do will only benefit my progress.. so I'm not complaining. But ohhh RIT, you technical monster of a school. I love having a campus, so convenient and compact. But these students and their way of life is a stark contrast to the color and vibrance of art school. My eyes are drifting to the south. Oh dear, I'm afraid I'll never figure myself out.
ROCHESTER! IS! fun! though! Lots of diners, coffee houses, museums (the Human Body exhibit was incredible), thursday night shake downs at the Bug Jar, yards full of snow, and wonderful movie theatres.
Ya know what? Geneva is fun too. I like being in my bedroom and trying to play the guitar. And I like sleeping in Maya's bed and still being parentally reprimanded for talking too loud although we are nearly 20. And then theres always the lake, Cam's, and the indian outside of the Secondhand shop. its always nice to be home.
It feels good to explore and open my eyes, and feel around and figure things out. I just wish I could do it in a more timely manner. Coming back to New York is something I needed for myself. So, now what?
John leaves for the Army on May 15th. Maya, Laure, and Ash will be heading out to four year schools. Everyone is detaching themselves from the ground and rising up in big hot air balloons like grown ups. But oh oh ohh not so soon! Let's just all stay attached for like 2 more minutes.
It's Christmas Eve .. only a small baby hour til Christmas! I can't wait. Sugar prums neva get old.
MERRY CHREAZEMIS!
