I'm really disappointed with school.
My mom tried to convince me it would be better than high school since it's a college, but to me there's not much of a difference. Everyone around my age who goes there are the students still living at home. Everyone already seems to have their friends. I had to drop two of my classes because they turned out to be complete disasters- which brought me from a full time student to a half-time student, and I've only met one person that's said hi to me a second time.
I've been needing a job. Not for the reasons of money or training or meeting new people; I need something more to do. I was looking online and thought of perhaps working part time somewhere in the city? Peet's Coffee is having a job fair this weekend on Market street. And so is a new tea shoppe named Teaz Me Tea. I'd LOVE to work at an old record shop. Or at a cafe somewhere? I could take BART and just work small hours? Or something? Anything?
There are going to be some writing workshops sponsored by the Youth Speaks organization next month. I expect they will be fantastic, and they are free. And I really want to attend. But I'm really skeptical about it. Other than journaling, I don't have much experience as a writer.
Oh! And! There is a Harry Potter convention in 2007 and I want to go so so bad. But I can't afford it so I don't know who could, and who'd be willing to go with me at the same time. I'd enjoy pumpkin juice & butter beer and chess and nerdiness to myself if I could just afford the ticket.
I finally finished reading The Neverending Story! And it was absolutely wonderful. So my remaining book stack consists of;
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson
A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
A Wedding in December by Anita Shreve
I successfully fried myself some bacon yesterday, for the first time. Hooray. I don't even have anyone to eat pancakes with anymore now that my main friend left for college. And in a few more days, I'll lose my chess partner. And I've probably had atleast 8 pots of tea this week. alsjdoiwoera;kljdfiai;oer!!!!!!!!
