Book Reports and Odds
So I just finished up an 8 page paper for my week internship seminar. I like the class because its a true insider glimpse of the Albany political machine, or professor has been involved in albany news, and reporting on the state capitol forever. Still an eight page book report on top of a two page weekly reaction paper and the normal week's stress is tough on me and the other interns. still I did it, that that.
I've been thinking a lot about my roomates. I don't really ever see eye to eye with the one thats my age(23). Thats actually putting it midly as his normal response to my questions is frustration and very often "Shut the fuck up." Essentialy I think he has a ton of issues. This isn't me being passive agressive either. He basicly admited that he always played baseball untill about a year ago. That was his life from childhood until his third year in college, because he knew he'd never make it into the major leagues. I kinda feel bad for him because its like he's been robbed of the majority of his life. I mean my life's been no peach, but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. I'm the way I am because of them. He on the otherhand now seems to believe very vehemently that the past doesn't matter, and that he's been cheated. Its strange really, I mean in so many ways he's totaly naive of the way things are, for instance he asked if it were possible to get acid at our college. Now I'm no drug conosuer, as a matter of fact I think I've seen the last of my drug days, but I do know that at almost any college as long as you know who to talk to about it you can come across most drugs. Its just something you learn when you go to college, like how you should never use the bathtub in the dorms because it fucking gross. I just can't wrap my head around him really.
Furthermore the kid is a closet conservative and it really annoys the living fuck out of me.
Luckly there is my other roomate, who is 32. It was odd to me at first when I found out, but the situation isn't too differnt from my frienship with Optigon. He's a laid back fellow who just took a while to get on with school, which I respect. I mean I hate it when people just go to school for no good reason except because mom and dad said so. Essentialy my older roomate and I hang out and drink to gether and the other roomate gets pissy and leaves a lot durring the weekend, which still works out for me. in any even its less than four months until we're done here, and I won't ever talk to the pissy roomate again.
In other news I'm going to this- www.headlesshorseman.com/index.php
Every year this is named one of the number one haunted hayrides in the country, and I've never gone before. I'm freakin psyched about it. I love getting legtimately scared, and this seems like the place to do it.
Oh I may also be going to this, I think I'll be getting at least the weekend pass-www.wamcarts.org/zombie/
A FUCKING ZOMBIE FILM FEST!!!! I really want to do the zombie walk, but I want to look good, as far as looking dead that is, and I only know one person good with effects makeup. So I don't know what will happen, but I did the math and as long as I go to five movies I'll get my money's worth out of it.
So it looks like I'll have some stuff to look forward too. I'm kinda wishing I had friends here though, I mean good friends. I get along with my co-workers but I don't really know them too well, so it always just my older roomate and I going out. I don't make friends easy.
Oh well, we'll see what happens.
