It's been so long since I last updated that I feel out of tune with my fellow LiveJournal bloggers. But alas I've returned to the one and only companion that listens to my feelings intently and without passing judgment.
So I'm officially an FIU college student. What does that mean exactly? Well, I'm finally an adult and I take care of all my affairs with little parental advising or help. College is going rather well except for Human Biology, which is a bit overwhelming but I'm getting by. Everyone at FIU is warm, welcoming and always willing to lend a hand and that is so necessary for freshman survival that without it I might have already gave in to the desire to leave college altogether.
I quite enjoy Psychology class, the subject matter is very fascinating and my Music Appreciation class has enabled me to look and listen to music in a new light. I'm listening to music I would've never listened before, like indie, Native American folk and Oriental music.
My life other than school is completely non-existent, for lack of a better term. Hitting the books and listening to my iPod denote most of my hours after class, and the rest is occupied by sleep. I finally got a cellphone, so I'm trying to become accustomed to the whole texting and phone call ordeal. Foreign as it may sound, I was without a phone for a year and so would only speak to people on a live basis.
I've come to recognize that I'm quite a different person in college. Oh, sure I still make people laugh and do my impeccable accent imitations, but on a much small degree. I am much more conscious of the people I associate with and many times find myself alone, mentally and physically. It's as if I don't require the company of others to achieve self-fulfillment. All I need is to continue my studies and I feel as if my purpose is being served. With each "A" I receive on a quiz or test, I'm pushed further away from others and towards my textbooks.
In terms of an amorous relationship, I'm not involved any. I find that with the passage of the weeks, I require being in a relationship less and less. My brain functions with the mode of 'who cares' and when I meet people or see people whom I know little of, as opposed to high school, where I would try and get to know them and try and get closer to them, I treat them as if I were never to see them again and thus I don't become attached to any particular person. I find this solution the one where you as a person get hurt the least.
I'll be moving on-campus as of January 2009, though the exact date is still unknown to me. However, that's the least of my concern. I am thrilled to be able to live on my own, achieve independence, have some peace in quiet in my realm and be able to go and do as I please. I think that this time will serve for me to find myself. To perhaps regain my spirituality with God that I once had, not since I was a freshman in high school, and to just worry about me, myself and I. For now, I comfort myself with music. It's the only element in life that brings serenity and comfort, though temporarily and any other solution seems futile.
GOODBYE TO ALL FOR NOW
