Chocolate Fountain
Hello, hello. I figured now that I've announced my presence once again among the livejournal community I should actually give an update. I hope you don't actually expect me to sum up an entire year's worth of happenings because that's just not going to happen (ha, I love my little puns).
Hmm, so what to tell you all? College is not at all what I thought it was going to be--and spare me all the "nothing ever is" bull. College has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I worked for it and planned for it and it's one of the only things that kept me going during bad times--the chance to get out on my own and, more importantly, meet more people like me. Not in background or physical similarity but kindred spirits, if you will. People who love to read as much as I do, who want to discuss books and go to plays and meet for coffee and debate. Liberal dreamers who want to learn just for the love of it--people who understand me and who won't make me feel like some loser because I want to know more, because I want to understand. But I really was being unreasonable--nowhere is perfect. I haven't heard of one person who is absolutely happy with where they are so I guess that's just life. I had hoped being in an honors dorm might help but actually these people are mad partiers!!!!!!!! I'm talking about the majority here, not everyone though. My roomate Meg and I get along great (some stroke of luck) and even though she's a bio major, I've decided not to hold that against her. Same with Kelly (HI KELLY) who is also a bio major. But I really wish there were some English majors around to keep me company; sometimes I feel like the majority of this floor is a club that I'm not a part of. Not that they don't try, I just can't relate to bio stuff--ha ha Jen, remember me in bio? A fish out of water.
So sleepy...
Okay--so finishing up college-wise, I need to meet more people, do better in my classes, get more sleep, stop procrastinating, get a job, practice my oboe more, and find non-alcoholic activities for fun (everyone's drunk out of their minds here). I could really use some rest and relaxation but alas, 3 papers to finish and then finals come up so I guess that will have to wait until Winter Break. Then Winter Session, and I'll get my math out of the way and then I'm done with that.
I wish I felt strongly about something. Anything...
