Glorious Life

Here I am...again...

School has been going well. I have a few procrastination issues, but then again that's just the norm for me. I'm getting As in English, As in Math, and Bs in Chemistry (my only challenging class). I really must say, college is better than high school to an infinite degree. I enjoy the commute, the freedom, the responsibility, and most of all the sense of purpose. In high school I was there because I was supposed to be there. In college I'm actually working toward something greater and of my own volition. Perhaps I'm just odd, but I really enjoy the college life and working to accomplish something.

A few weeks ago, I had some car issues, at the time it felt like a travesty. Now, however, the details seem hardly worth mentioning, so I won't. In short I had a bad alternator and a short in my electrical system that I found out about the hard way. Thank god for AAA...

If there has been one thing I've learned in college, it's the value of books. Not in the sense that textbooks cost a great deal, but rather in the value of escaping from the anxiety of everyday life. I find myself reading multiple books in a week which, while normal and even slow for some, is quite fast for the way I usually savor books. It feels quite nice to finally be catching up on my reading.

One thing I have noticed, is the sudden recession taking place in my social life. So very often people are busy that I rarely go anywhere besides school and home. This, I suppose, is the primarily the result of Jonathan's absence. I never realized exactly how much time I spent with him, or even merely talking to him. Yet now the reality has set in all to well. I rarely get to talk with him, and when I do it's nothing close to the three plus hour conversations we used to engage in. Sure, I get to see him ever few weeks and I can talk to him sometimes, but things are changing. Jonathan is developing a new lifestyle, and with it meeting new people. I suppose if I am to avoid the imminent moping and depression I ought to do the same.

On a side note, I apologize to those of you who give me positive support time and again that I invariably shrug off. I do appreciate all of you much more than I let on. Please do not think otherwise.
