After talking to my aunt and my grandma, I really can't wait to go home. They seem so genuinely excited for me to be home... and I am not going to let anything damper that. I really want to put up that Xmas tree and get crunk-tastic with the family.
When I go home... I think it'll be a definite unwind and reflect period. This semester, socially and acedemically has been... unique. I know I want to get more involved in the LGBT community up here... I just don't really know how. There's so much to do... and I've never been much of a leader. I also want to get a job as an RA...
Question, do you think an LGBT floor would like... be sanctioned? Not like 'you have to be LGBT' to be on the floor... but more like a safe living space for LGBT identified students. You wouldn't have to be afraid to post a rainbow on the door and be afraid it will be torn down in the night, and slurs being written on your walls. The only thing is, such a thing would be the target of a lot of attention. But I don't think it's any different than a spanish speaking wing, or a dorm for students in a particular program.. i don't know, there are a lot of flaws in the idea, but it's something I've been thinking about for awhile. I know personally I'd love living with a group of people like myself, and not have to feel like such an outcast. I mean, we have our safe spaces (RING, PRISM... and of course SOCIAL), but when you come home and have to go back into this shell... Like I said, it's just an idea, maybe moreso a fantasy.
Onto other things... Finals.... nevermind, next subject, lol
I'm listening to 'La Vie Boheme'... again, from Rent. I need to stop this.
Oh... and I think i'm getting ready to officially quit these sites I've joined... I think they've created more harm than good. It's nice knowing there are a world of people out there... but I can't do this anymore. It's so.. not personal. And most people just seem to want the goodies... i mean, and it was a rush, i'm not going to lie.. but it gets tired really quick. Maybe my Christmas miracle will be...
