Why not start now?
Hmmm...well, it's been a little bit of time since I last updated. After the first few months of not posting I was waiting for something momentous to post about, but that never really happened, or if it did I didn't have the desire to write a post. But I figure that if I keep thinking like that for the rest of the year I'll probably never post again and who wants that, right?
Right now I'm sitting in the Imholte lab with a belly full of yummy Chinese food and the significantly less-savory task before me of writing a paper for my Intro to East Asian Civ class. Not all things Asian were creating equal, obviously :P
Today was somewhat of a sad day...I don't know if it's senior angst or what, but I think I'm a little dissatisfied with how my college career is winding to a close. I don't really like most of my classes (the afore-mentioned East Asia class is the bane of my existence, and almost certainly will bring my GPA down...stupid Intro classes, how you hurt me), I definitely don't like my poli sci major, and looking back on it all, I somewhat regret coming to Morris.
I say somewhat because I've definitely met some great people at Morris...but I can't help but wish that myself and everyone I know independently decided to go to a different school. (common, we're talking wishes here....while I'm at it, I guess I'd like a pony too...) I think that the much more independent nature of senior year has really emphasized the many things that Morris lacks. And I know I don't do that great of a job getting myself out there, but I can't help but think I might try a little harder if my options weren't bar/quasi-interesting event on campus/.....
Jeff, Brianna, and I went to Alex yesterday, and it was so much fun just to get out of Morris and be in a town were we could actually do things. The fact that all we did was shop at Target and eat at a restaurant that wasn't Don's or Taco Johns, and that we were all somewhat giddy about it, just really hit home to me how much I would enjoy having various sorts of activities to do with people.
Brianna and I sat down (over the afore-mentioned delicious Chinese food) today and made a big list of the things we didn't like about senior year and ways we could remedy them...hopefully the solutions on that list will go into action soon, and things can kinda pick up a bit for me. I guess we'll see.
Well, that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...hopefully now that the ice has been broken, so to speak, I'll write more on this silly thing throughout the year.
Adios all.
