ahhhhhhhh....
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am officially two days into my two-week spring break, and it feels grand.
Midterms are done, I am presently above failing in three of four of my classes, and hopefully will fix that fourth one before long. I got a 90/200 on my Materials midterm, but that was the average. However, I got a 35/36 on my math midterm, which is just dandy. Life is good.
I have a boyfriend, whom I am feeling less attracted to as the days go by, preferring him when he was a friend to what he is now, and overall wishing I were just on my own. However, I am going home with said boyfriend to his country town on Tuesday for a week, so we'll see what happens - either my mind is changed or I work up the courage to tell him. At present, he has no clue, and my only complaint, albeit a big one, is that he is too perfect - too nice, respecting, responsive, good to me - there's no room for conflict, there is nothing to argue over because he does nothing wrong and is possibly the nicest any person has ever been to me. Ergo, I'm bored. Or stupid. Either way, I have a hot Australian man who likes me, who told me today it was our month anniversary, and I don't know what to do about it. But other than this confusion, Life is good.
I love living here. I love my College (that means dorm+ here. It's kind of like a hogwarts house, to be honest, the way we work. We also have to go to dinner in robes, just to reinforce that fact.) There is always someone to play with, wherever I go. It's awesome now that I know about 85% of the people here well enough to have a conversation with, now. I also live the beauty that is a network. That means I have, when I plug my comp into the jack at St. Mary's access to roughly a bajillion songs (my library tripled in the first two weeks i was here) and about a hundred movies, all full seasons of Scrubs, House, the OC, Seinfeld, Family Guy, the Simpsons and American Dad and loads of other classics that I haven't watched yet. Someone ever has a copy of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Life is good.
I get out of school November 20-something, and then I think my dad is coming to pick me up and take me with him over to Taipei, where he's teaching again. I'll have an escort and a driver if I go, which pretty much sounds like the coolest damn thing ever. After that I get to come home and work through Christmas and make some money! I'm working now, but I don't have a work visa, so I'm channeling the money through a friend. whoops. It;s not that much, anyway, and I'll pay him for the tax whatsits. Either way, I'm really excited to go back to Austin for a little bit. I start Summer school 2 Jan, so it will be for less than a month, but all the same. Two winters in a row! Life is good.
