So I haven't written much since I've been here. Its weird, when I went to France my junior year, I wrote in a journal every single day. I have every little thing that I did written down. Maybe I;m not writing as much because I'm here for longer than 2 weeks, thats the only explanation I can think of. Its strange to me though, cause I want to remember everything that I do here, but I still can't get myself to sit here and write about whats been going on.
Its frustrating being away from home. I know that people will be there when I get back, but I'm an ocean and a 5 hour time difference away and I feel like I don't get to talk to people back home. I miss my friends, I miss Tyson, and I just miss life in general back home. Things aren't bad here, like I said before I have one of the best dorms on campus, but I feel like my days go by so quickly and that I haven't done anything with them. I want to travel, but it's hard to plan when you don't want to go alone. I mean I very easily could just plan a trip and go off on my own but I just don't think it would be a good idea/safe in any way shape or form. I want to get to Ireland and France no matter what, and I would love to get to Italy and I think that I might be able to. Other than that, If I don't get to see as much of Europe as everyone else is, then maybe I'll do what my brother did and backpack across Europe for a bit, realistically I could do it when I graduate cause I probably will have a bit of time before I start a job anywhere, but we'll see what happens as time goes on.
Some days I wonder if it was a good idea coming here at all. Being a transfer to start with I'm screwing myself over by being here right now. I'm going to have to take summer and/or winter session courses when I get back just so that I'll graduate ontime. I try not to think about all the things I'll have to do when I get home, but when I'm here and not doing any kind of school work at all its makes me think about what I'm going to go home to. I know I should be enjoying my time here, but I feel like I stress half the time trying to figure out what to do with myself.
Classes are ok, they aren't much work at all, except I have a group project and my group SUCKS, like a lot. 3 people in the group are french and speak in french half the meeting and laugh so they are clearly never paying attention, and then 2 others are people from Bentley who only talk about what club they want to go to and when they're going to travel etc and therefore they never pay attention. The other 3 people in my group are good, they'll actually do work so that helps, but it sucks when we're gonna have to pull the weight of the rest of the group.
I joined the lacrosse team here, thats one of the highlights of being here. I wanted to play hockey, but they don't practice on campus and it seemed like a bigger commitment/way more money to play, and all the lacrosse kids are really nice so I'm glad I joined. We have our first match wednesday so we'll see how that goes.
I think I'm going to end this here cause I should be reading and I'm not, so I'll get to that.
♥ ciao
PS One super highlight of my day yesterday, I saw Keira Knightley :)
