Yay Parrots
Don't you hate when you think people don't have the right perception of you? Take for instance, my philosophy professor. We're simply not on the same wavelength, not to mention the fact that I just don't seem to have any higher thought about philosophical ideas unless I have enough time to ponder, which clearly is more time than we have time for in class... I don't say anything and probably look blank, and that bothers me. I don't want him to think I'm dumb or a slacker, especially since participation is a huge part of the grade since it's a seminar with 13 people. Gahh. I guess more than being worried about what he thinks, I'm worried that I'm not good enough for me. I pride myself on having opinions, but here I have none, so I never speak. There's also other people you try and impress, but end up acting bizarre and therefore not impressive, which only makes you seem awkward or causes you to overcompensate again the next time. Damn.
It's finally hot here. I have been wearing sundresses for a week, and I plan on laying out today, even though I shouldn't. I love this weather, I love the massive amounts of high school seniors touring the campus, and I love that everyone is outside all the time now. I'm not a fan of the allergies I have here though: Nashville is in a basin and an arbortum, so name a pollen and we've got it here.
Easter was nice, albeit strange. I woke up and walked to the cathedral with Kelly - very nice service, then we walked to Pancake Pantry with Henry, Matt, Charlie, Wil, David, and Jill. It's interesting how friends you love can be your stand-in family for occassions like that. My mom sent me a package with my Starburst jellybeans and a card too, so that made me smile.
