"Glitter is the Herpes of arts and crafts" ~my neighbors' door
Well I should be doing something productive at the moment, like working on my honors paper, but instead I decided to up date here. Life has been rather interesting to say the least since I last posted on here. I now live in private room and my lack of social...extroversion is becoming evident. I enjoy having my own room again as it provides a great deal of freedom and a private haven, but it does get lonely. I'm keeping my door open to try and help that, and I really need to and want to expand my social circle. At the moment I've pretty much been Eric's shadow. I don't think either of us mind too much, but I need to get my own life. I'm going to work on that ^_^ there are good peoples here, I just need to be more aggressive. But yeah I live on the second floor now, and it makes me more comfortable. It was weird but living on the first floor was getting to bug me, I'm so used to living upstairs. I'm just torn between the possibilities of becoming quite isolated or resenting getting a roommate again. If I don't get a roommate for next semester I'll have pay for the private room again and I'll have to really make sure I don't isolate myself. But I do enjoy the privacy and freedom of having my own room. We'll see what happens.
Uh let's see what other random stuff do I have. I'm barely pulling a C in organic chem at the moment, but I got over 100% on my last micro test. So classes are going well enough if kind of inconsistent, but I really am enjoying school. This of course is the season for tests so I have one test this week and have had tests in all my other classes last week or the week before.
My weekend life seems to be looking up though, last weekend I had stuff going on, I went to a party this weekend and out to dinner, and I have some plans the next two weeks. Last weekend Eric's former roommate who graduated last year came to visit with his girlfriend. Another Doane alum who's the older brother of a friend, an Eric's 'ex-girlfriend' also came down. We all went out to dinner and then hung out in randomly assorted groups. We also went through the haunted house put on by the theater people. They did it in the forest this year and it was pretty awesome. I was creeped out because I didn't know what to expect and the actors all got really really close to you. But I had Eric to shrink against. ^_^ Then this friday Eric's old roommate had a halloween party. It was a lot of fun. Really it was only nine people hanging out so it was really laid back. And there were two other couples there so it was perfectly acceptable for Eric and I to be cuddly, that was nice. Pretty sure Eric and I were the only ones still in college there, but whatever. We didn't get back to Doane until like 1am. Then last night Sam randomly showed up at my door and wanted to go out to dinner. So we waited around for a while until we could get into Sheldon to get Emily, but she was really really tired and had a bunch of homework. Thus Sam and I ended up going out alone. It was nice, I haven't gotten to see much of Sam this semester and real food is always amazing. We also made plans to go out next saturday with Emily. After I got back I went to see Eric and basically fell asleep while he was playing his computer game. After a while we went to go bug Tyler and Micah as they had intimated watching a movie earlier in the week. Turns out Tyler had gone home, but Micah was playing video games. So we played Smash Bros for a while, which I of course lost terribly. Then we finally put on King Kong, which Eric has been bugging Micah about watching all semester. Micah got stolen away to go to the quads for a while but Eric and I got to stay and watch the movie (as long as we didn't make out or anything ^_^). Micah came back after a while and watched with us. He was pretty drunk so he told us that we could finish the movie and then leave in case he fell asleep. Turns out I fell asleep before he did, so I didn't see like the last hour of the movie. When the movie was over and Eric and I left it was like 4am, so I pretty much just staggered to bed and fell back to sleep. I didn't end up getting up until like 2, but really it was only 1 because of the time change so I didn't feel quite so bad. It was really annoying though to have it be totally dark by dinner time (5:30). It was funny this evening, I was sitting in my room with the door open and avoiding hmwk when Eric came down. He has an ecology test tomorrow and he was trying to study but his roommate was watching tv. So he came into my room with his notebook and shut my door and studied in here. It was really random and funny, but it made me feel all squishy inside too (not that that's hard for him to do) as he felt comfortable enough to do that. A ridiculous thought really as we are extremely 'close', we at least see each other every day. Also I got all excited this week as he started calling me love. Not a big deal really, I do that to people I'm close to all the time, but it was still really awesome.
Anyway... This week I'm going to visit the med tech lab at UNMC on tuesday and I'm really excited about getting to do that. Thursday is Ellen's protest against hate crimes (long story) so I'll spend some time at that (aka sitting around the bell tower). Friday is my history test. And saturday I'm going out to dinner with Emily and Sam. Then the 16-18 is the anime con. I'm excited for it, but we'll see how it works out. And the week after that is thanksgiving break.
When Emily couldn't go to dinner last night Sam and I were trying think if there was anyone else we wanted to bug to come with us. I suggested we could ask Eric as I of course wanted him to come, but Sam didn't really want him to. Which is totally understandable...third-wheelism has caused enough problems already, so I didn't push it. I felt bad though telling Eric I had gone out without him and worse when he asked why he didn't get to come. I really wanted him to, but I also am not anxious to stir up anymore trouble with my friends. So I'm hoping that he wasn't too upset about it. I'm really wondering what I'm going to do next weekend when I go out again. I would ask him to come but I'm pretty sure Emily and Sam wouldn't be too thrilled. Especially as and also because its more a thing for us to be together like last year... I guess I'll just have to tell Eric of my plans and let it go. I'm not too worried about it as its a weekend and Eric and I can spend a good deal of time together then. Weeknights I'd be very hesitant to give up my dinner with Eric as we may only see each other for dinner then.
So yeah my life is classes and Eric. If I can add just a bit more social-ness to that I'll be extremely happy.
