~...settle in already, dammit!~
I cannot sit still and read. Is it the newness of the apartment? The newness of my apartment life? Reading for leisure is SO much more satisfying than forced reading, therefore I cannot do it. I just fall asleep or think about all the other things I could be doing, like reading Chuck Palahniuk or "House of Leaves", which I just got shipped to me. I didn't deserve a nap today, not after just 50 minutes of Spanish Class. My TA is a guy, for once, and he talks rapidly which is intimidating but he's very jovial and friendly. It may be because he's young. His favorite thing in life seems to be beer and bars--very nice. =)
I dread Thursdays. I have to work from 7am-10:30am, go to spanish for an hour, then I have a two hour break, then go to Education. It's not like it's that shitty, but the waking-up-at-the-buttcrack-of-dawn part is going to be some kind of fun, won't it? The kind of fun I can only describe with words out of my mouth that would make it wrong to kiss my mother with. Let's leave it at that.
Mondays are usually uneventful and sometimes even crappy, but yesterday's was grand. I felt like a new person, I felt confident, I felt open and honest and... just different, basically. I bumped into Golriz, my education partner, while waiting to sell an oceanography book to some guy. We ended up talking for three hours, no gaps, no silences in between, just a wonderful, amazing heart-to-heart that you don't have with people that are a-little-less-than-strangers. I feel good to call her my friend instead of just my education partner and fellow peer. She is one of those people you put on a pedestal because she is too good, too beautiful, to place anywhere else. It sounds really strange but if you met her, you would understand what I mean. She's selfless, she's intelligent (not the normal kind, or the snooty kind either), she's tactful, she's considerate, she's honest, she's straightfoward yet never blunt, she's got that charisma that is so reserved but so obvious at the same time. I haven't met someone like that since.... I don't know. I think it just hit me really hard because i've been doubting my choice of friends and confidants lately... It was just really refreshing.
I got nothing done yesterday but it was indeed a great day... caught up with alotta friends on campus and Chez came by for a while before he went to his guitar class. We watched snippets of "Fight Club" (again) and he told me about his (mis)adventures in "the single life". He's such fun. I wanna hang w/ him, val, and timmy again.
I miss tim. I will be going home this weekend though, so that will be fun! He always makes me feel like I'm a real live person. Like I'm really, truly alive and for a reason. =)
I am turning in an app to do UniCamp Mentoring. It's highly selective, esp for girls, but I'll give it a whirl because if it was meant to be, then I will be selected. There's an interview component fourth week so that makes me nervous. I still have to meet my mentees for PAN and meet w/ Gol to spruce up our workshop. It's too drab for my taste--I want to make it less fuzzy and fluffy. I am trying to challenge myself this year... get busy because I hate feeling like a slacker. It's my 3rd year--it's about time. =)
