Ok, so the Fall Semester is over. I can't say it was my favorite.
I didn't have any classes that i really enjoyed. The closest was my Dialects class (i learned how to talk in Upper British, Cockney, Irish, and a general Slavic dialect), but that was hard at times, and discouraged me. The rest of them were just mediocre.
My aparment was 50-50. On the one hand, it was entierly mine, and a lot better buy than that shithole i lived at last year. On the other hand, i was lonely as hell because hardly anybody visited me. All my friends are either 20 mintues south of me, on Main Campus, or in other places where it's hard to get to my place. I don't know. I was just kinda hoping to be hosting shindigs or something, and that really just didn't happen.
Work was eh. Get paid shit, but isn't exactly horribly taxing. Helps me pay the bills (barely).
My love life is crappier than it has been, if that's possible. The girl i have the massive crush on (i've waxed on this at other times) barely even spoke to me at all this semester. Yes, she was busy, but still. The longest convo we had was like 5 minutes. My paranoid mind, however, took her lack of talking to me as a total lack of interest, or her using me for stuff, and so on and so forth. It was really discouraging when she'd put up an "i hate my life" kind of away message, and quote a song i sent to her (which i, of course, associate with her for even more emoness), and when i asked if she was all right, she wouldn't say anything. In any case, i had a few freakouts over her. My thanks to Beth, Jen, Sweenz, and Boots for putting up with me.
Entertaimentwise, i was involved in two games at the start of the semester, and dropped out of one because it interfeared with school and because i had game issues with the DM. Yes, Alex, i still love you (in a strictly platonic sense), but we just don't agree on gaming. Dan's game, the Dragonlance game, my Ranger doesn't allow for much role-playing (i'm gonna work on it, though), and my rolls sucked as they usually do. Which, of course, means that my Ranger wasn't as deadly as i would have hoped.
I applied to one grad school this semester (Ohio State), and i'll be applying to Kansas State over the break. Regardless, the app process for OSU came as a kick in the gut, because i looked at my grades, and then at what they wanted. They didn't exactly match, and i started to doubt myself. Bad times.
So, on a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being the highest, i rate this semester like a 3 or 4. More likely a 3.
Grr. Make it like a 2.9. I'm going through my music to find a song i want to listen to, and the damn randomizer puts on one of the songs i associate with her. Thanks a lot.
2.8. Same thing as the above.
She's trapped inside her room
With reruns on the screen
Old books and movies
But she can't stop thinking
I'm torn between myself
My radio my friends
I want to write this one off over and over and over again
And then she looked at me to scream
"My castles are falling"
But i can't look into the street
Without everything changing
I want to read good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening
She waits all day
She stands a stranger in her skin
She moves the science with her hands
She lines her walls
With every paper she can see
These words consume her
But they never set her free
And then she looked at me to scream
"My castles are falling"
But i can't look into the street
Without everything changing
I want to read good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening
I want to read good news
I want to be a little kid again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening
I want to read good news
I want to go to sleep at night again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening
Something Corporate - Good News
I'm sorry for the emo update, Greg. I promise we'll go out and get drunk. I'll get plesently drunk and you can get as hammered as you want.
