(no subject)
I really have nothing to complain about right now because I just bought tickets to see PATRICK WOLF!!!! and i'm seeing girl talk next saturday and yeahhh I have never been more excited for anything in my entire life. I never thought I'd be able to see him, especially since he almost never plays shows in the US. But anyway, school started this week and I am suprised to say that I am quite enjoying myself. Stony Brook isn't so bad after all. Actually I really like it, the campus is beautiful with so many benches and places to eat and chill and fountains. Everyone is really friendly, and there are a lot of smithtown kids that I have seen and been hanging out with. Orientation was fun I hung out with tania and marina and we met a lot of nice kids and this kid drew took us up to his dorm and they are etremely small and the freshmen are tripled in rooms that should be doubles which sucks, I am glad to be commuting. Sunday night nick and I went to the first night out carnival at the SAC and it was really interesting but a good time. We basically tried to make friends but everyone was already in cliques so it was hard, but they had free food and ice cream and cotton candy and all of this crap, and we met these really awesome kids on the incredibly long line for cotton candy. There was also a mechanical bull, gladiator fights, and crazy amounts of ghetto rap blasting! Tuesday I just had my fundamentals of drawing class, and I am exciting to be taking an art class, even though I have practically took this class 3 times in high school. I'm suprised that I am the only studio art major in the class, which is unsettling. In fact, I haven't met a studio art major yet, which is weird because the staller center is such a big part of the campus and there are so many galleries and art is a really big part of everything. So that is unsettling but maybe because its still early. But my professor is an amazing artist and really cool, she has artwork all over the city, she designed these ceramic plaques that are in the times square subway stations, they are really colorful and have these amazing designs on them. Google search Toby Buonagurio to check them out. I am in love with my writing professor, hes like a mix of hugh grant and mr. kelly without the awkwardness. I also am looking forward to writing because the theme of the class is pop culture, so most of the papers will deal with that. Art history seems cool, although right now im taking from beginning of time to 1400s art, so its mostly cave paintings and crap. Geo 101 is APES exactly. But that should be ok since I know the material already. My russian lit class is going to be interesting. Matt quigley is in my class lol so thats cool. My gls 101 intro to stony brook seems like a complete waste of time, but I have friends in that class from the first orientation I had back in July we scheduled it together. So that's exciting becase its pretty hard to make friends other than smithtown kids here. I have so much downtime in between classes, sometimes i have an hour to 3 hours to kill, so I mostly sit in the shade and get some reading done and crap to kill time. I have been meeting up with nick and we have going around to get lunch. We got bubble tea and chinese food at the wang center (which is the most gorgeous building i have ever been in, and has fountains everywhere!) and it was delicious although maddd expensive. The student union is nice and there are so many places to eat. Yesterday I got to hang out with alex russian and eissa for a bit, and today I had lunch with eissa! I'm really excited to be able to see them. I need to see liz and steve! steve and I are going to go to country kitchen and get country fried steak and hes going to teach me how to surf, so I am excited about that. I'm also excited because I have no class next thursday or friday, and becky is coming home!!! I will get to see her! And then girl talk on saturday! ahh life is good. I miss everyone terribly though :( its really not the same. Everyone should just come home and go to stony brook haha its not so bad and I miss everyone too much.
Also, I really would love to come up with a different name for a livejournal, (i will pull a kim here) because I have had this since 8th grade and its really silly and its time for a change. I don't know what to pick though I'm bad with names. A new sn should be in the works too. i also never wrote about my blog in here, I rarely update it, but its http://stephdesimone.blogspot.com check it out for some mediocre art. Hopefully I will have time to draw again!
