well first thing's first...i miss you guys way more than i ever thought i would. i think when you go from seeing people literally every day to not seeing them at all, you suffer from withdrawls, kinda like my caffeine headaches, but of course on a much deeper level :) but seriously, i've come to realize what is personally hardest for me about this whole process: these people are wonderful, and i love meeting new people and being in new situations, but they don't know me like you do. they don't know my weird habits, my weird sayings, they don't finish my sentences for me or verbalize my thoughts for me when i'm mumbling like an idiot, they're not "in" on the inside jokes. when it comes down to it, they're simply not you. eventually we'll have our own unintelligible world, full of what makes what was once only a friendship a life-long bond almost closer than family. but i'm now more confident than ever that making these new relationships doesn't mean losing you or replacing you. hell, i don't think i can.

so BIG CONFESSION HERE PEOPLE: all of you people who said i would like it here...i do :) and even though i'm still not a fan of la jolla, that's not really a problem seeing as how i don't have a car and i never really see la jolla! i do LOVE this campus, especially the student-run bookstore "groundworks," the view from the seventh floor of tioga in muir, the cliffs overlooking the ocean at sunset, and the huge canyon you have to walk by to get to warren. i like how they constantly have these awesome outdoor fairs/markets--they have a weekly farmers' market where you can buy fresh flowers and fruit and other shannon-ish stuff!!plus the weather here...well, let's just say that i'm never going to permanently live in the valley ever again. ocean breeze=you don't even need AC, just a good fan!

i've only attended 3 of my 4 classes so far (my film class meets this wednesday) but so far so good. i really like my professors in both my philosophy class and my political science class. the prof in philosophy has my dad's facial expressions/body language, so that always makes me smile. dimensions of culture (DOC, my freshman writing course) is kinda boring right now, and the professor has the annoying habit of claiming that she's not going to "give us her opinion" while in reality only presenting one side of things...her side. so it's one of those "let's all be PC/liberal but if you question it you look like a jackass." and believe me, usually i'm on the liberal side, but i'm still not for forcing it down someone's throat, and unfortunately this class verges on the brainwashing side. oh well, what can you do.

i've met some awesome people here, and i'm already great friends with my suitemates krysty and allison. we have the best balance in the world...we can totally hang out and do nothing, or go out, or say "hey i want to go do this with so and so" and be ok. the only problem with SD is that it really isn't the most "social" of campuses. this place really is dead on the weekends because everyone either a) goes home to LA, b) goes to SDSU, or c) locks themselves in their rooms to study. i have to find the people like me who choose d) happy medium of studying and partying, preferably with the studying part during the week and the partying during the weekends :)
i gotta go do some more reading for DOC, but i really do miss all of you guys and want to see you all soon. i'll be back in the valley the weekend of october 15, so if you're going to be in town/around, let me know.
