A little slice of life here...
So I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I'd let you in on some new developments in my life.
-Kayla and Natalie are gone. Fully gone. Since I last wrote in here (though I'm sure you've heard a bit about it from me in person), they both started being mean and crazy and it was just ridiculous. Eventually they took most of their stuff and stormed out, after a few crazy and stressful days we agreed to just make it official and take Natalie off the lease. She came to get her stuff (and bring back what she and Kayla "accidentally" stole), including whatever furniture she and her family wanted (which wasn't much), and now they are gone. Good riddance.
-So now it's just Jaymes, Rodney, and me, the Three Amigos, the Golden Trio, or whatever you want to call us. And our kittens. ^_^ I'm not sure what we'll do when this lease expires though. My parents are really pushing for grad school, though I'm not sure if I really want to go right away. But they're only paying for me to live here for a year. After that, I've either got to go to grad school, move back home, or start paying for stuff on my own.
-Also I've been taking classes galore in preparation for the possibility of grad school. I took the GRE (and did pretty well on it I think :D )and now I'm signed up for the LSAT. And LSAT classes. Every weekday for HOURS. I think half of me could use this as an opportunity to see if I really do have any interest in Law School. And the other half just doesn't care. This should be interesting.
-I'm finding that I really don't understand the phenomenon where someone acquires a significant other, and then this makes them immensely happier. In life. Like yes, a relationship is something you should be happy and excited about, but when mopey people suddenly become happy and cheerful, or expect that they will become so with a relationship, it just doesn't seem to make sense. Not to mention, what if that relationship doesn't work? Won't they go back to being just as much of a downer, if not worse?
-I'm finding that going back to campus events is a sort of bittersweet thing now. Like it's nice to see everyone and meet new people too and enjoy the events I've frequented for years. But then again it's always still the slightest bit different- I don't know as many people, I can't use a Campus Card, and invariably someone asks why I'm on campus if I graduated.
-I also feel like there are just fewer people from WashU that I regularly keep contact with and see a lot. A good number of my closest friends have graduated and most of the remaining ones are busy seniors who I still don't see enough. And those who I'd ordinarily be relatively close with I don't see as much because I'm not in classes or on campus like I used to be. I'm kinda glad that Jaymes and Rodney are my close friends but didn't go to WashU. On the one hand I feel like college and my experience is such a major part of my life that they just wouldn't understand because they can't relate. But then again, it's nice to know that they can be a major part of my life in general that is separate from my WashU experience, and it helps me transition away from WashU being *everything* in my life.
Contest Update: No one got the last entry's songline, so I put it in this one too! It should be easy to find now, since you can just see what is repeated and it's pretty long and similarly inserted. And because it is kinda hard, for THIS ENTRY ONLY (!!!) I'm letting you use google. Go!!
