A bare-chested Abercrombie man is staring at me from my roommate's wall. He's creeping me out.
And she isn't really allowed to have that up there, but I am not going to go report her or something. She just shouldn't be surprised if someday her precious, creepy pretty boy is missing from beside her desk chair. Gag.
Anyway, I might possibly have something interesting to report in a day or so, but as for now, I just felt like writing. I have a little bit to go on an essay that is due today in freshman composition that I am putting off. It's a terrible essay, quality-wise, but I don't care. I figured I would conserve my writing energies for a real essay.
Greek is a difficult class, I must admit. Mainly it is difficult because I have to learn a new alphabet. I have to train my eyes and mind to interpret the symbols as letters, not just weird lines on a paper. Then I have to take those letters and translate them into sounds and then I have to connect those sounds with English words ... It's crazy. Not to mention people use some Greek letters without even realizing it, and they pronounce it wrong, so I have to remove that from my mind also.

I have chapel in half and hour. Two more classes today and then it is the weekend. [insert Stella-esque cheering noises]
Tonight we have a big BBQ party type thing and a "movie in the Greek."
Oh. Haha. Okay. So my school has its very own Greek ampitheater. Basically, before this was a school, a crazy rich lady lived here. She liked Greek theater, so she decided to have a Greek ampitheater built on her property. Naturally. She also believed that she would be reincarnated as a turle, so some of the old buldings on campus have very short steps so that the crazy turtle lady could still go upstairs.
Anyway, they are showing Hitch. It will be fun.
I am kind of meeting people here. But I am still going insane because I have no one here to talk to and be stupid around and make dumb comments to. It's sort of lonely, in a way. There is a whole part of me that has no outlet right now because I don't know anyone here well enough yet. How frustrating.
I miss you. I have to leave now.
