yep...
so here goes...it's been a while since i've updated this, so i'll try to cover as many recent happenings and feelings i've had as i can.
so since my last post, college has gotten a lot better, in some aspects. i'm no longer constantly homesick, although i still miss my parents and dogs like whoa. the work still sucks a whole lot, but at least i know what to expect now. i can't wait for this semester to be over. i had this paper to do for my history class that i was totally stressing over. i changed topics 2 nights before the rough draft was due, it had to be 8-10 pages long before footnotes, and the only direction we were given other than line spacing and font was that the topic had to be something from the last 200 years of the history of England. so i'm up until 3:30am one night writing this paper, and only get to 5 pages, so i plan on working on it while at work the next day. what do i do? yeah, i forgot my books in my room, so i had to wait until i got off work to start working on it again. grr, 4 hours wasted. anyways i manage to squeeze out 6 pages (5 pages was the bare minimum) before class and call it quits for the rough. so i print it all off, staple it, accept my fate, and head off to office hours for my history prof, which she changed, but i did not recieve the email conveniently. anyhow i get to class and i hear people talking about their papers, among the small talk i hear someone say "it's a good thing these were double spaced..." i swear to god i wanted to jump out the window, i felt so stupid. i spent probably a good 10 hours reading and writing 6 pages of this stupid paper with 12 point font and single spacing. so i get home from class and double space everything, turns out i had 11 pages....11 PAGES! bah, whatever, at least i'll be ahead, right? anyways, it looks as though my grades are evening out and i shouldn't have much to worry about.
so i went home last weekend for the first time in 3 weeks, thank god, i needed my clothes washed hardcore ;-) friday night i chilled with rachel, her roommate jess, mike b, cavin, and the rest of rachels family. we played euchre and some weird game rachel and jess picked up at western. that was mos def a lot of fun. i didn't leave until around 3-4am i believe, and when i got back in my mom's van (my jeeps being worked on) the battery was dead. so i had to call my parents and have them come pick me up. so the next morning my parents went back and picked the van up, then put my jeeps battery in the van. saturday night rachel, mark, alex, brenna, jess, and myself all went out. we ate at this nice grill on woodward i believe it was, and then saw school of rock. that's a great movie, i suggest anyone, who hasn't seen it yet, go see it soon. anyways, that night was great, i can't even explain. again, i didn't get home until like 6:30am. i so wish the weekend had been longer. it was so much more fun than coming back up here, especially since i had to write that stupid, stupid paper.
anyhow, yeah i really don't know how to describe how i'm feeling at the moment. like, there are quite a few people and things in my life that i should be happy about. but then there are also some things bringing me down. i love college but it's just so much stress. i don't know what to do with myself sometimes. one week i'll have nothing to do everyday, other weeks i'll practically disappear. i love the independence and living on my own and all that fun stuff, but i guess i'm just trying to say that i don't really know how i feel about the whole college thing just yet.
to end this entry on a lighter note, i need your opinions...i've wanted to get my tongue pierced for the longest time, and i've been pondering it a bit recently. i know my reasons and all that good stuff, but i'd like some other peoples opinions on the subject. so, should i, or should i not?
