Today was the first day of school. So far, so good. Aside from the $150 or so I will have to spend on film and photo developing for GD4. Oh well. I'm going to have fun and not let myself struggle. And I will budget and hold myself back on frivolous spending. (or hope that my bike insurance check comes in soon...) I really only ended up having to go to one class today. I went to Emily's Type4 class, but I am dropping it for the other section, so I skipped out. And Sputnik doesn't meet until Thursday. Tomorrow I'll have Digital Studio 4, Type 4. With a big break in between. Thursday will be my most busy day. I'll have three three-hour classes right in a row basically. I am really going to have to make good use of my time this semester. I still have to go to Oakland on Fridays, but at least I don't have to be there until noon. The commute is such a time/money waster though.
I tried out the xerographic transfer markers at Arch, they didn't work out very well at all. I might try and get another kind the next time I am at Pearl or Flax. Maybe I didn't get the right kind or something.
It really doesn't feel like the semester has started yet. And I don't have a routine down at all yet. I need some adapt time to get back into it. It was weird seeing everyone again. It kind of made me realize how few people I hang out with, and how much of a clique we are. Its kind of depressing. I was already making inside interpersonal jokes and snickers. I wasn't even there that long. And the campus feels really bare and empty right now for some reason, aside from the physical lack of work up. I think it is just me knowing that I know pretty most everyone and there is no-one new and exciting to look forward to meeting. Not that I don't enjoy the company of my classmates, but some new faces and personalities would be refreshing.
Really, I am just frustrated by the fact that it seems like I am pretty much not going to meet anyone romantically speaking at school at this point. That was one of my big hopes for school, and it has for me not turned up a single viable opportunity in three years. I am rather disappointed. I think that it is time to give up on boys in general for the time being. I only get my hopes up to be let down anyway in one way or another. A weak side of mine, the tendency to live in my head and over-extend my hopes and expectations beyond the practicality of the situation.
I'll give up for a while, we'll see what happens when I turn 21...
