Homeee
So I haven't updated in a while, as usual... whoops.
I officially have 5 days left of Sophomore year! How did this happen!? Seriously??? I feel so old all of a sudden. I think that in the last couple of months I've really had to grow up in a lot of ways and suddenly I realize that I'm almost 21, I'm halfway through college, people are getting engaged left and right, and I still have no plan for how to accomplish everything that I want to do. Oh dear. Yay for flexibility and spontaneity right? haha
Anyway, getting off the life crisis train... I'm going to be home this Friday (not until like 10pm probably though) until next Sunday (a week later)... so anyone who's going to be in the Ville should let me know so I can see you!!! After that I'm headed back to Oxford for 6 weeks to take summer classes and work (joy)... but I'll be back in Westerville from late June-middle of September anyway. Although to be honest, I'm actually really excited about the time that I'm going to spend in Oxford. Five of my friends and I have subleased a pretty nice house and I feel that it's going to be soooo fun living on our own and living with them. I actually can't wait. And I have a job as a tour guide during the week, and I'm looking for a second job on weekends... which hopefully will be relatively fun and non-stressful. We'll see.
Other than that, not much is going on here. Candide ended a couple of weeks ago and now I finally get to live the life of a real college student again. It was seriously out of control for a while there... like we're talking 45+ hours of rehearsal a week. RIDICULOUS. Needless to say, I had a TON of work to get caught up on, and now I'm preparing for 5 finals. At least I don't have 7 like last semester. I'm also getting things wrapped up for study abroad next semester, and also doing a couple of random, creative side projects that have been kind of fun.
Umm, let's see. Sean and I are talking again. (And by that I mean like talking talking, not like "hooking up/getting back together/unidentified relationship talking" No, not at all). I'm not sure how I feel about it. He's being confusing and weird. I'm REALLY GLAD that he's going to be the only person I know in London in the fall. Sarcasm... things are awkward. Can you tell? haha
But, the good things that have come out of this are 1) I totally love myself again and that's a GOOD thing, 2) I have been making so many more new friends and having so many new experiences, 3) I've been forced to change my general philosophy about life to one that is way more realistic and probably healthier for my mental state, and 4) I've gotten a much better understanding of the joys of "dating." I honestly didn't know that people still do this... but apparently they do? I mean, I've met a couple of guys, been to a couple of meals, etc. And it's interesting... I'm not particularly interested in any of them, but I guess it's just reassuring. I have some good stories too... you know, more awkwardness. That's what my life has come to these days, seriously.
Oh p.s. Anyone who wants to visit Oxford over the summer is totally allowed to come. I meant to say that earlier... we have a LOT of extra room in the house. So come visit! We can get Taco Bell and go to Walmart... since that's pretty much all there is to do. But still, it'll be fun! haha
Okay, I should go to bed. I had class this morning (yes, Saturday morning) from 9-1 so I'm really tired. I hope I can see some of you next week! =)
