"Two who warmly cover..."
I didn't realize, all summer, how excited I was to go back to school until I looked at the calender. I noticed that in 1 week, 7 days, I'll be going back to school. I let out a squeal of just pure joy, that left me wondering "where the hell did that come from?"
Mostly I've been looking forward to going back, but not in the "I'm so excited" way... more like the "I can't wait to leave this place" way - I'm sincerely tired of my house... it's driving me crazy. I have no money so I can't do much. I love going to China Town with Adj, or even just hanging at our respective houses, but after that's done I'm left alone again... and jsut play video games I've already beaten, and pray someone comes online so's I can talk to them.
I do promise that I will make an extra effort to come down at least 1 weekend a month Adj, if you try to come up 1 weekend a month... or at least meet in the city once a month. There's too much catch-up to play over vacations and not enough time.
But, so back to this idea of unexpected excitement. I realized just how much I was missing people - and more than that - missed doing things with people. I'd watch a movie and think of movie night's with Pixy et al. Or I'd play some video game and think of the boys.
Otherwise I'd be sitting arouund wishing I were back in France. I never really like where I am until I'm not there. I guess it's human. I wasn't entirely miserable in France, just like I'm not entriely miserable here, and I won't be entirely miserable at Purchase... but I will complain about where I am and love it at the same time.
So I guess I just didn't really expect this kind of joy in realizing it's almost time for school.
But it makes sense. I know all the things I do have to look forward to and things are looking up. My new roommate seems awesome, it looks like we're all gonna' get along, that I'll have several places to hang out next year. Jesse's letting me borrow his PS2 AND Xenosaga, along with that there'll be a PS1 (just in case) and 2 or 3 other game systems in the apartment, cool lights, a cactus, music. I'll hopefully, ost likely have a job, maybe I'll even work with Kay, Kay and I are gonna' make a graphic novel (which I think is the only way for me to get my story written) Adj and I are gonna' have a writing exchange, me, Pixy and Carol will probably all be the same level in Psych, I can make my own food, I know new people I can hang with, I intend on spending time in the Co-Op and student center. There will hopeully be movie nights again, and anime marathons, and not too mention TotD and LA to do. Things will be uber busy (my class schedule is packed, I have classes from 10-5 on FRIDAY) and I have to be super strict with myself. I promise to go to the gym at least twice a week - for at leat 1 hour - and hopefully I'll go more.
I imagine if I said that paragraph in person I'd never have taken a breath.. so give me a moment to relax, calm down, blink, and breath.
The Swim Relay was amazing tonight, absolutely amazing. I am, for whatever reason, in love with Aaron Peirsol.
Tongiht was incredibly productive. I found a peice of paper with old quote from Freshman year said by people at the old Boat, and turned 4 into comics with 2 or 3 pending.
I do hope that I can find a scanner at school.
Sometimes there are just things that you feel so pleased about.
And I'm sleepy, so I intend to sleep.
