Adjustments
Now that we're a few weeks into this college life, the other girls around me are starting to feel dreadfully homesick, as I have been. I guess I'm really not alone, none of us are. I spent most of the weekend in Annie's room since Tiff's boyfriend came up. I didn't mind, Annie's awesome, and it's always interesting getting to hear more about her, she's always a surprise lol. But what wasn't so surprising was how much she misses her family and close friends from little ole Fabius. It's kind of a comfort to know we're all in the same boat. We stayed up so late just talking and watching movies and eating things we shouldn't be lol. That's the life really. Then I'd sleep in till the afternoon. Poor Tiffany Jo misses the boyfriend really bad. She basically shut herself in the room and cried all afternoon. She's been lying in bed since around 6 o'clock, pretending to sleep, or at least trying to. But once in a while I catch the sniffle. I feel so bad, but I don't know what to do. We tried talking about it, but it's evident that I don't understand what that true love thing is all about. I have some idea, but I can never say "I understand. It's okay." I feel terrible. I made her a poster saying she's the best roomie ever and she can talk to me whenever she wants and I hope she starts smiling soon. I hung it up on the fridge. She hasn't seen it yet.
Thursday night was bingo night lol. Amanda, Annie, and I went, and Amanda won a photo album. The kid's got about 7 on her shelf already lol. But she really loves pics, so I'm glad she won it instead of someone else. Annie and I didn't win a damn thing. I was having the hardest time just sliding over the slots to cover up the numbers on my bingo card, and eventually I just threw the card aside and gave up. Annie is competitive, hates to lose, and she was starting to make the evilest yet most hilarious faces at the poor bingo lady lolol. At one point she threatened to flip the table over and leave.
We went back to our dorm where Karaoke was happening lol. I went to check it out and see what kind of music they were doing. Basically, anything goes, so next time I think I'll bring my Chicago and Disney Princesses karaoke. Haha, I'm totally serious! It was actually kind of sad, though, because 2 girls took a song and substituted in their own words, and then they made a third girl (our R.D.) sit down on a chair in front of everyone while they sang her a song. That obviously struck a cord in my mind: The Babe Song. I suddenly missed the babes very very much. But then there was make-your-own ice cream sundae, so I got better!
Let's see, anything strange happen lately... Um, well last night in the early morning hours I had to go to the bathroom and there was a guy lying sprawled out on the floor outside someone's room just down the hall from Annie's. There was a pile of perfectly fine marshmallows in the bathroom garbage bin. I had 3 bowls of EasyMac in a row one afternoon. Some girl burnt her eyelashes off while attempting to light her cigarette outside, and the first thing she said was, "Ow! Oh, now my eyes won't be symmetrical!" Um, the kid I liked has a girlfriend (ain't it always the way), I went to the movies in a lecture hall and saw an awesomely written and directed movie, "Crash," and the kid I liked sat in front of me with his girlfriend, and I talked about personal problems I might not even tell my close guy friends with Annie lol, whom I barely know at this point. No offense, Steve and Shane, since I know you're probably the only ones who read this that that would apply to.
I've also developed something on my neck, either a rash or patch of extremely dry skin. Weirdest thing, but I've yet to schedule a doctor's appointment. I'm just waiting to see if it gets better by overkilling it with lotion... it has not as of yet. No, it's not the sheets. But I might be allergic to something. So help me God if it's cheese...
I also joined the drama club this past week. Gonna be in the Haunted House. They've got a lotta stuff to partake in, and I'd like to try it all out. Also, heard about a Field Period (which is kinda like an internship that everyone at Keuka must do) to New Orleans or some other place that is helping out with the hurricane clean-up. I mean, no one has to do this, but when I heard it, I thought it over a bit, and I decided I don't care how sad or how scary this might be. I wanna help. I'm sick to death of sitting around here enjoying my prepaid college life on a sunny lake, when there are people just like me suffering without food, shelter, or family. I can't give money, really. Don't have it. But I am going to do something, you can bet on it. If this Field Period is it, then I'm going to do it. My parents are very much against it. But I'm still thinking about it right now, and we will see.
Those loser drunks outside had better stop screaming so poor Tiff can get to sleep!! Rarrrrrr!!!! People these days.
I cleaned yesterday. Be afraid... be very afraid...
