End of the semester.
Going to be on my way in an hour and a half.
Some things:
Managed to be attached to an out-of-town boyfriend for another entire semester. This makes three.
Lost my grandmother.
Gained a true love of religious research. Wrote a terrible paper to prove it. That paper was my baby.
Took three classes, loved two of them.
Made some friends.
Started a new job-tutoring is what I should be doing, probably what I should have been doing all this time.
Realized that even if financially Mom and I are "middle/working class," we do not act, think, nor speak like it. This is a conflict not with my schoolmates, oddly enough, but possibly for my boyfriend's people. There is a high potential for my occasional "snobbishness" to alienate them.
Found out that photosynthesizing is not a human trait. I will need to begin eating food again. Made this discovery by using EIGHT swipes (I get on average 13/week to use anywhere on campus) today, and being told that I still have sixty-four. They, of course, do not roll over to the next semester.
Discovered love affair with the gym. Bought $100 running shoes to prove my love.
Performed at my first dance competition. Won 3rd out of three in newcomer smooth (waltz/fox) and 3rd out of six in bronze smooth. Go me.
Developed real friendship with dance partner, partly strengthened by declarations of un-attraction toward each other. It's not a good idea to have feelings for dance partners.
Found a restaurant that will deliver a grilled ham and cheese sandwich to me at midnight. <3
Started seeing a counselor. One of the best decisions I could have made this semester.
I really DID need a single room.
