Notes and things (week in review)
Weekend
- A mellow weekend in which I realized that I am damn, damn lucky to have the friends I have.
- Watched in no particular order Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Velvet Goldmine, Karma Sutra, X-men, Sleepy Hallow w/ my favorite 3 girls EVER (Arielle, Maya, Shelby) and of course, AJ.
- Erinn and Ida were both under the weather. :-(
- Visited a pet store with Arielle and Maya (Arielle: "We can get him a castle!" Me: "That's bigger then his tank!")
- Ordered out yummy Italian food, then commence to gorge ourselves with it and two pints of ice cream.
- Dyed my hair, red streaks, I look fantastic thanks to Arielle
- Played Lord of the Rings Trival Pursuit with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack playing in the background.
- Arielle won.. ekkk
Monday
- Nothing really special.. but a good, pleasant day, overall
Tuesday
- Hung out w/ Arielle, Maya and Shelby in our "suite", ie, Jewett's common room.
- Talked with Shelby till 3:30 (when we both had class at 9 in the morning). She made me feel good, better then I thought I could feel.
Yesterday
- Was having a blah day until nighttime.
- learned to knit from Shelby, however Maya was better then I and so, I got competive and attempted to steal her work, eventually, didn't need to because Maya started her scarf all over again.
- Watched parts of'Strange Brew' in Justin's room ("take off, you hosier")
- Watched Stef and Jeff dress up for 80s night
- Took some shots w/ Justin, Jeff, Tiff and Stef
- Danced till my feet were tired.
- Got back to the dorm at 1:30
- Stayed up w/ Arielle till 2.
All I can say is that there are more important things in life and I'm fast learning it here at Vassar. I used to be on the fence, if I liked it here or not. The past weekend and the first part of this week has made me realize how much I need Vassar more then Vassar needs me. I learn things here, from the people I consciously seek out and the people who refuse to let me hide in this shell I once used to defend myself, and my feelings. In high school, I felt at times, alone and unable to be or act the way I wanted to act. Here at Vassar, I cannot run away, people won't let me. I am more myself here then I ever was in high school. I am more happy here then I ever was back home. I love my floor, and I was crying out of pure happiness just moments ago. It's like I have a center, and it holds. Everything's okay.
Its like you never realize how lucky you are, until there's a moment when it hits you and takes you by surprise.
