life hasn't been so hunky dory lately
So school this semester hasn't really been all that golden. I feel like the snow days in the beginning threw everyone all off. Anyways the transition from private school to a state school has been hard. Driving to my classes and getting stressed from finding parking let alone getting to class on time due to it really isn't my cup of tea. At DePauw I'm so use to leaving my apt or beta (har har) 7 minutes prior to class starting and still managing to get to class with ample time to socialize with my friends (which is another thing I lack here). Here I have to leave probably 35 minutes before class starts, drive for 7 minutes, find parking for 10-15 then finally start walking towards class which takes up another 10-12 minutes. It really is stressful but I guess I could just eliminate all of that by taking the bus to school like I use to do, but I hate sitting in that awful sardine can on wheels.
Plus I definitely do not know many people in my classes. And they're kind of rude. Once I emailed everyone in class if I could photo copy notes for $15 because I missed some classes and no one responded really except for one dude because I had answered one of his questions he had asked. I just feel very detached from the school I guess mainly because I'm not really living on campus, I don't know many kids there, and the professors are kind of distant as well. And OU hasn't been really helpful to my cause being a transfer student and all. Like today I didn't know it was bad luck to walk underneath the clock tower by the library! Apparently you will graduate late! No one told me of this.
So for this year's Lent I made myself give up eating out in general. It was very difficult and for the first time I finally knew what it felt like to be a good Catholic. But it sucks to not be able to eat out especially if you're a college student. I would be on campus all day and literally feel myself starving and slowly my stomach eating itself. So as of last week I modified my Lenten resolution to just giving up fast food (McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc.) But now I'm having the difficulty of defining which restaurants are fast food or not, such as Chipotle or Jimmy John's. Would you guys consider those fast food? Most wouldn't but what makes those places different from let's say from these places?
Especially Subway?
So this week hasn't been really good. On Sunday I got into a minor car accident, my fault. Rear ended someone. Damages weren't that bad, especially for the other guy. He literally had nothing wrong with his car. Perhaps his bumper was a little loose I don't know. So we get a call from our insurance agency saying the other party claimed $1800 in damages. Please tell me people if this warrants for $1800 in damages...
People should know insurance fraud is illegal.
