hey folks.
so i'm not really sure what to update about or where to start or anything. lots has happened this semester... mostly school related, just lots of class work and learning good stuff and growing musically. i feel a whole lot more at home at stolaf now too. my group of friends has expanded a lot and i'm hanging out with more and different people than in the past, which is good. but i still get to see the group from last year which is good too. it's been a little hard/strange coming home... mostly just strange to be with the family again and being in michigan for the first time since august and not having the same personal dynamic with people as i do at school. eating different stuff, doing different things, sleeping different times, not living on my own schedule, basically. but it's all good. my sis and ben are here now and that's really good to see them.
another weird thing that i kind of noticed yesterday was this... i feel like at olaf i'm a little cut off from the say... "romantic" side of life. sure i have friends at school that are in relationships... not a lot of them, but a few. but those people aren't the kind that fill me in on details or issues in their relationships or how things are going. i don't even have friends that are dating that i listen to or talk about different things of that nature with. coming back and catching up with the lauras about their semester in taht way was just kind of weird cause i realized i don't deal with that kind of stuff much at all. which frankly is kind of nice. and then my mom told me that apparantly whenever she sees family friends that are like "oh how's kate doing, how is she liking school" the next question is always "does she have a boyfriend" and i was just kind of... i guess upset by that, that our society jumps to those kind of questions so quickly. and i know i'm guilty of it too but cmon, folks. and just people asking me like "so are there any guys at school"... blah blah. right. oh well. i guess i feel a little frustration that the answer is no, but mostly i feel frustrated that the question even needs to exist.
there's my little soap box. on a completely not new topic, i think i'm over a certain someone who cindy incorporated into THE BALLADE. it's decided. he's kind of a weirdo... ok a lot of a weirdo... and i can't deal anymore with that.
what else to catch up on... i'm bascially just ridiculously excited for germany. i LOVE the girls that i'm going with. they are some of my closest friends at school and i'm soooo damn excited. AGH!
plans for new years? we should have some. that'd be awesome.
i think that's all i have to say right now, folks. i <3 you all.
