So I'm in college now. I'm in a dorm, by myself, because my roommate left before school started. I absolutely love it here. I'm happy, healthy, get more time with the people I love (except for a few), and have found a balance between my alone time and my friendship time. With the girls on my hall, the friendship time includes once-a-month hall meetings, elevator rides, and smiles when I see them on campus. Why? Because from what I can tell, I'm the only one on the hall that doesn't drink. Our RA put up an "Alcohol Awareness" display across from the elevators, but I'm probably the only one that has or will ever read it.
I have a mandatory $850 meal plan as a freshman resident. So the other day, I bought a $4.00 cup of coffee, and sat out watching the squirrels on campus. Really, you think I'm crazy, but these creatures are insane! One was seen last week falling from a tree, probably totally drunk. And that is not even an exaggeration. They're probably worse than the kids here when it comes to nutrition and drinking, because if they want the food, they make sure they get it, and threaten you with their rabie-fied teeth if you don't comply.
Classes are fun. I'm enjoying French this year almost as much as I did in High School. Now that's saying something.
Oh, the "(except for a few)" up in the first paragraph? Yeah, those few who happen to be in Louisville, are either mad at me, or too drunk to care. So I'm pretty much done with a lot of stuff.
