(no subject)
Wow, ok. I have not been up here for a while but it looks like nothing much is happening here anyway. But I feel like typing so I figured this is as good a place as any, actually probably better than most for that.
Getting ready to move, a week from today. It is a daunting task, especially with a bum ankle, but I am excited. Also I am just ready to go and get into a routine. I have enjoyed not doing much of anything this summer but sometimes I wish I could have been in Greensboro doing nothing. It would have been a good deal more entertaining. Oh well.
I suppose Wyatt is coming to visit one last time before I leave tomorrow. I think that that will probably be the hardest part of moving. Knowing that I wont be able to visit with the people I spent the last 4 years with. I am pretty sure I wont have time. I think I am going to be jumping into this head first. When you go to school to learn to help others go to school there is a lot of extracurricular activity involved. But I think that will be very exciting as well because there will always be something going on and always someone to go with. With a cohort of 40 or so, you can always find something to do.
Is it sad that I feel like I am already over Foust? I probably am not far enough removed from it right now to miss it but i really don't feel like I connected with any of the new people last year so I am not having a hard time letting it go. I also feel like it will never be the same so I can't really miss something that is so different. Same goes for a lot of things like RHA. That is going to be a crisis situation that I am glad I am not there to be responsible for. I wish I had more faith in Matt and Adrienne, but they are still babies and Megan might not even be there to help it along. On top of all that, let's be honest, there is really no support from HRL for anything. Hopefully the new director of Housing will give a shit. Probably not, but we can all be hopeful.
In other news I visited with Layla the other day (yay!). She is going to be going to Brazil in December which is very exciting. The people that we went to high school with though, seriously, I have not clue what they are all doing with their lives. I am just so thankful that I got my act together. This is what I can't understand, there are people that I took almost every single class with throughout high school, which means that they came in with practically their freshman year taken care of. How can they still be no where near graduating? How many classes do you have to fail and major changes do you have to go through to still need an additional 2 years of school? (As a side note, I just facebooked some people that I thought might be doing something with their lives, Cameron is married! Did anyone else know this? He is just too adorable and his wife kinda sounds like a bitch. We would probably be great friends. In addition, someone needs to help him pick out a better fitting tux. I am still trying to pick up the pieces of my exploded mind. I should stalk people more often. ) Most people are a) Married, b) still dating their high school sweetheart, c) pregnant, d) still hanging out with their high school friends, e) still in school, f) still in Greene County doing nothing and any combination of the above. Sadness. I think I have one person I graduated with who had also graduated and is going to grad school right now. A few days ago it was the birthday of one of my best friends growing up. I was looking at her facebook page and she is still dating the same guy she was dating in middle school which is part of the reason we grew apart. They have been dating for the better part of 10 years. Is that not insane? I cannot fathom that. I just tried to write what it would be like if I was dating the guy I liked in middle school and I couldn't even picture it in any way shape or fashion so I had to delete that sentence. That is beyond crazy. Also, lets be honest, I would probably be getting pretty antsy about getting married if I were her. The good thing is that I'm not so... there you have it.
