i just read over my entry and i sound like one of those depressed college students hah. well i went to bar night last night because i was dragged by a friend and i noticed how i didnt really like anyone there. if this is what the school's social scene is like for the next four years, i might have to kill myself. just yesterday, two freakos approached me and anna rose. do i have to get used to that in order to have a good time here? seriously, the admissions board of uchicago chose the applicants who seemed weird and simply accepted them on that basis. i dont think i was being a big freako in my application though i wrote an essay about a giant jar of mustard (sorry i cant get over that fact, even if it's been a year ago). i mean the school would be better if I knew kids who were chill but most of them live off-campus :\
anyway, i just got an email from a guy offering me a paid position to do data-entry work for the school. it's awesome. just a week ago, i was being all mopey because i didn't have a single job but now i have 2, one that is interesting as hell (maybe ill understand how alcohol works in my system) and the other is fucking paid!! i've never had that paid so it's a big step for me. i feel so grown up :) i want to start saving up so i can buy plane tickets to fly nick out. i am suffering a horrible case of homesickness and withdrawl from pen island (LOL). if i do commit to this job, i want to beg my brother to let me purchase the tickets and ill pay him back the next time i see him. it works out so perfectly. nick can come when my school takes a day off for suicide prevention day hahaha. i think the break does come in handy. so if anyone decides to kill themselves on that day, they can take a breather from school and then kill themselves the next day.
anyway, anything else i wanna write about? well, i need to learn how to drive soon. andrew said he is gonna teach me, hahah that will be funny. and paul will be the backseat driver. ill be such a tool trying to drive. i hope drew's roadtrip plans work out this summer.. hopefully im back on the east coast for the summer. i might even try to find a research job over the summer which may require me to stay in chicago. that would be a bummer. anyway nap time!
