beth's coming soon!!
the weather was so nice today!! i'm so glad it finally actually feels like spring outside! i'm gonna be so depressed if it gets cold out again!
despite the awesome weather, i felt kinda down today for a lot of reasons- i just felt lonely. i don't know anyone well enough here to hang out with them, and alex has been gone all day bc he has a show in buffalo tonight. beth is coming to visit me today, but i thought she was coming earlier so i was disappointed when she told me she wasn't gonna be here until 8. greg was in oneonta last night and part of today, but i didn't get to see him. jenny and leah were at jenny's house this weekend, and i wish i could have gone with them. i just thought of all of these things and got all sad... it was stupid. i walked outside, down to a little park, and layed on a blanket and did some work- it made me feel better to be outside on such a gorgeous day! i just wish that all my friends weren't 3.5+ hours away. i did get to hang out with some people last night that alex knows bc he plays shows with them a lot... that was fun; they're all really nice guys... it would be cool to have at least someone here that i can just go and talk to and do things with. i know it's partly my fault that i don't really know people here- i haven't been open or outgoing enough, but it's hard too bc i transferred here as a junior, i don't live on campus so i can't meet people bc i'm living in a dorm or anything like that, and i'm shy when i don't know people. oh well... the day turned out to be okay, but i've just kind of had this sad feeling all day... i'm sure it'll be much better when bethany gets here!!
it's not that i don't like it here... i do. i love our apartment, and i love living here with alex. the school is nice, and the town is fine, and i'm not unhappy here at all... but i guess everyone has those days that they just feel kinda crappy. after this week we have a week off for spring break! actually it's more than a week bc we don't have to start school again until the tuesday after easter!! who's excited?! it'll be so nice to not have to worry about classes for a while... even though i'm sure i'll have plenty of reading to do while i'm home. speaking of reading, i just finished a really good book that i was reading for my women in lit. class... it was such an amazing book. it was called solar storms by linda hogan- if you can, you should definitely read it. it talked a lot about what humans have done to land and animals, and it really made me think. it just made me realize how much better the world could be right now, and how far beyond repair it is. other than the environmental aspect there were a bunch of really interesting sub-plots in the book... it was such a good book. i really don't mind reading for my lit. classes when i like the books- i do like reading, just not when i feel like i'm being forced to read something that would look better as a pile of smouldering ashes. lol
so let's see... what else can i talk about? i have to keep myself busy until be gets here! hmmmmm... yeah i can't think of anything so i guess i'll get going.
i hope you're having a wonderful day!
