A-choo!
The classes are going very well so far. I'm meeting lots of people, which isn't as bad as it usually is. I got my ID back so I can eat in the dorms. Not feeling as sad as much anymore.
Now comes the arduous task of picking friends. Egh. I hate the part where I realize I don't like someone enough to continue contact with them and they like me so much already that it's like I'm betraying them. I don't feel guilty about it, but they feel like I should, and it leads to all kinds of yuckiness. This hasn't happened to me so far this term - but I know it will. Blech.
I've had vague thoughts about taking next year off from school to work and live with Susan. I've had vaguer thoughts of transferring out of UNT and going to UTD. The dorms are nicer, and I'd be in Dallas. Denton has lots of cool stuff... but it's not me, really. Much as I'd like to be a hippie with an extensive knowledge of indie music, I'm the kind of girl who drinks her bottled water like it's a beer. I belong with grungy metalhead kids who like philosophy and who never read the newspaper. Or with potheaded gamers who smoke out before they play D&D. I have so far not found my obscure social niche here. I'm thinking it might be time for a change.
