Hi y'all.
So I'm sitting in the basement of the WHITMAN COLLEGE library. Yes, I am at college. Yes, I am having a BITCHIN time. No, I have not had sex/come close. Yes, there are some VERY fuckable/hot emo/funny/extremely nice/smart/hot/foxy men. No, I have not met as many guys as I would like, considering I my floor happens to be all girls. Yes, I have already started not doing my homework (Read: friends are sitting next to me doing calculus. I only did half of my calc and 3/4 of my CORE reading). Good freaking times. Let me tell you.
SO the first 2 days I was freaking out and was like violently homesick. No joke. It was crazy. But then I was like "fuck yes, this is college" and I started embracing my social world.And we had no class yet so like literally every day was just chillaxing to the max. And I was like THIS COLLEGE IS THE BEST THING EVER. Because it really, really is. But then classes started and I've been like busy busy busy busy and my enthousiasm has been slightly tempered. But still.
So I am living in the Pit (basement), in Jewett Hall. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my section (even though there are no boys). Everyone is so cool, and we're all really bonded. There's an 80s dance tomorrow, so we all went shopping for 80s outfits at this thrift store and decided to buy crunk cups while we were at it. SO now we all have crunk cups. ANd there's this thing called Crunk Thursday. Oh, Crunk Thursday. I am a little crunk as I type.
Speaking of crunk, Sunday night deserves special mention. A bunch of us went up to the all guys' floor and discovered a game of beer pong going down. I became somewhat of a legend that night because me and my friend Gia represented the Pit and 2 FOXY men represented their section. And basically we kicked their ass. It was a moment to go down in history. And then we were like "we won beer pong! Where's the vodka?" So they passed us a bottle and I just started drinking right out of it. Good times. And then we all went down to play "capture the flag" except not really and then me and this hot drunk guy Todd and some random sober guy got into a really philosophical discussion about relativism and time. And this was when I was like "I fucking love this college". ANd then we all laid down on the quad and put our head on each others' stomachs and stargazed. That was a memorable moment because we were like "fuck yes there are no rules and no po-po and no parents". And the guys are all p-oed and humbled that we beat their asses at beer pong. I basically gained street cred.
Also everyone is SO SMART here. Like I thought everyone would be really stupid but NO. We had a book discussion and it was like WHOA!!! It's like all the actual smart kids from AP English decided to hang out! It's really good. And I kind of thought the people here would be all the same and boring. Also NOT TRUE. Everyone's HILARIOUS and AWESOME and DIFFERENT and I freaking love it. We have such good times at meals and shit. Btw, I thought the food was going to be really good and it sucks. Btw, I think I have lost? weight. Wtf.
What else? This is a really long entry. Um so I started my classes: Core (my proffessor married her teacher when she was a student here), Calc (oh no!), French (the kids like can't speak french and I want to beat them), Acting, and Movement (my acting and movement teacher is the same guy. I LOVE HIM! He is AMAZING and so good and he uses words like "impulse" which makes me so happy).
Also I got into the first season show. Which is really weird because it's a 6 person play and I was not expecting it AT ALL and I wasn't even sure I liked the play and wanted to do it. And I was so scared because it's like THIS IS A COLLEGE PLAY. But we had first read tonight and now I'm really excited. Basically my character is a shy/socially inept/borderline not able to function lesbian. I have to kiss a girl, which might be really weird. But it takes a lot to make me uncomfortable on stage, so. But I'm still so scared because it opens in less than 4 weeks which is like the Writer's Block timetable except for a full length play and I have like a 4 page speech. Wtf. I also tried out for choir - the list goes up tomorrow and I doubt I made it because it was hella competitive this year. Which is also weird because I really did want/was expecting to make choir. Hmmm.
So basically...come visit me. In late September if you want to see me in the show. I love you all and miss you all like whoa. Like, I was talking to Maryanne and Willsie and then I looked at a picture of Gumby and was like "I'm sad". Call me, although I might not get the call cause my reception is crap.
PS How many people can say they saw Ms. Salvi on campus? Not a lot, I tell you. Not a lot.
Fare the well. Tomorrow I am going to get crunk to the max. Everyone says all the hookups happen this weekend. I say yessssssssssssssssss.
PS I just realized there are a lot of stories I forgot to tell y'all. They involve my roommate singing Christian songs (badly), side hugs, and naked Cross Country runners. Y'all will just have to visit me to get the inside scoop.
