Parties
So today, we had this PlayFair thing, which was just one huge pep rally where you met a lot of people. I absolutely LOVED it. I also talked to the swim coach, and swimming should be instated for men in two weeks. He also wants me to train with the women to motivate them.
I wanted to hang out with David tonight, and I hadn't eaten all day so he suggested we go to the ice cream social at the center for faith and vocation. I thought it'd be some giant Christian thing because all they advertise is the Methodist church and the Catholic Masses. So I asked about Buddhism, and they said they'd set me up with something! So I'm fairly excited about that.
We went to some parties afterwards with Alicia, Katie, and other people. I met this really nice girl named Jenny, and we ended up talking the whole night.
First, we went to this xc girl's house, and she was really nice. Katie pretty much ignored me the whole time, and Alicia paid special attention to David. David wasn't really paying attention to me. So that's when Jenny and I started talking a lot. I caught Alicia alone and asked if David was gay, and she said no. She said that she was okay with it though, and that David was, too. But "David's Catholic, and Catholics aren't gay." At which she gasped and began to apologize profusely. I laughed and told her it was okay. She did say that she thought David was gay at first, but then said that he definitely wasn't. WHICH really bummed me out. I haven't had ANY luck finding anything, really--either friends or romantic prospects. It's a bit frustrating and unsatisfying to know a lot of people but see them all have their own little 'groups.' Which may or may not change when swimming starts; a lot of people there seem to be close-knit.
So I was a bit bummed, but I was intrigued as far as the parties went. I drank a sip or two of beer at the xc house, then we went on to two fraternities. I didn't enjoy them at all, both when i had alcohol and when I didn't have alcohol. I don't know if it was because I was bummed about David or what, but I ended up going home alone. Part of the reason may be that I hadn't eaten all day, so the little alcohol (I definitely don't like the stuff--it tasted so bad. I had maybe a sip or two out of three things the whole night.) I had was doing weird things to my stomach. I'll be sure to eat plenty if I'm ever out like that again. It's very tempting to just hole myself in my room and study all the time, but I know that's no solution. If I want friends and boyfriends, I've got to get out and meet people. This has really become discouraging, though.
