Just thinking
It's so weird - this whole having a job deal has actually made me grow up. I'm more mature than I was and certainly more independent. Or maybe I just think that because it's summer and there's nobody for me to interact with? I don't know, but I'd like to think I'm stronger than before.
Damn Geneseo. Would you PLEASE send me my roommate assignment? I have only three weeks until I am at the school and they can't tell me who my roommate is. Thanks a lot. It's going to be an adventure, that's for sure - living with someone I've never met until August 23rd. And I still have to do all of the dorm shopping. Things are still a little hectic over here so I guess I'm not surprised. Carol comes home on the 4th. I haven't seen my sister for one and a half years; she's been living quite happily in Japan - about as far away as she can get and it kinda (really) sucks. But if she's still there once I've gotten my education degree, I'm visiting. So there.
No work thursday and friday. This is good. Today, somebody was in line as I checked their things out and they said, "Obama? He's the vision of antichrist!" as she was looking at a tabloid. "Anyone who votes for him has to be an idiot." I thought that was funny, and naturally I kept to myself, but seriously. Antichrist?
I'm visiting Cross Country tomorrow. I'm going to miss it here. It was so nice to be on a small team and be right up near the top. Now, at Geneseo, I'm going to be the slowest. And it's D3. It will definitely be a big change and I'll have to get used to it but I love running no matter what, so it should work out. Or maybe I'll quit the team and just run on my own - escape the whole competition aspect and join whatever Ultimate Frisbee teams I can find. That would work.
People keep telling me they'll miss me. I still can't believe it. What's to miss? Oh, dear lord, the number one source of noise and annoyance in your day will be removed? You should be thankful. I promise, you're not going to miss me at all kids. I still don't know if I'll miss anyone and I'm the one that's supposed to be sad, aren't I? Maybe it's just that it still doesn't feel like I'm leaving. It won't until I'm there. I think the first few days will be hard - I'm arriving early for XC so I'll be all alone in the dorms. But once people show up, I think I'll work my way into the social network, find other people who are oblivious and know nobody, and make a good setting for myself. Or at least I hope. I can't dislike it there. So what? It's my first time going to a school where I don't know anybody at all. And okay, maybe most people are getting really into the forced-bonding-over-facebook so they'll know people when they show up. But I'll make it, right? Shit. Oh, well. I'm a survivor, aren't I?
