hey guys! let me just start off by saying that i miss you all very much. ok, now that that's out of the way...
my life has definitely changed since i came back to eckerd college; i moved to a new dorm, i now have a room mate, i'm taking 5 classes, and i absolutely love life!
i didn't realize how much of a rut i had been stuck in. i was smoking too much pot and i was smokin for the wrong reasons. not only that, but i never even left my dorm. i'd go to class, the caf, and back to my room. i'd go walk around downstairs, look for people, find everyone smoking something or other, and join in- blegh.
but now that i live in the "hippy" dorm on campus, my quality of life has significantly improved. i wake up before my alarm goes off every morning, go for a walk on the beach, do a little yoga, and prepare myself for the day. i usually even have time to go get a glass of orange juice from the orange squeezin' machine in the caf. i'm pretty sure that my improved morning routine has a significant impact on the rest of my day, because i haven't had a bad day yet since i've been back- and i've even been kinda sick for the past week. i think the fact that i'm happier in kappa when i'm sick than i was in gamma when i was well speaks volumes.
plus i live in a pet dorm now, so i'm gonna go to the humane society and get a dog. i dont know what kind i'm gonna get. most likely i'll pick the one that i click with.
so, in other news, i tasted paper in a completely new way on friday afternoon/evening. there were probably about 10 other people taking a voyage of sorts that night too. some ate mushies, alot ate paper, good times were had by all. well, all except the kid who ate 5 doses, drank a bit of wine, and was still seeing stuff the next day.
it was like nothing i'd ever experienced. at first, i didnt think i was tripping, so i ate another half. then i got kinda antsy cuz i was thinking about it too much. it was about 15 minutes after i gave up and went to dinner when i noticed that the air was sparkling. i got excited and tried to harness it cuz i wanted to intensify it, but it kinda went away when i did that, so i cut it out. by the time i got back from dinner, everyone around me was tripping face and my friends and i were ready for a voyage. we explored campus and found some awesome trees, a hut, the athletic fields, and the full moon. once we all made it back to kappa, i intermittently lost everyone, only to find them again and repeated the process.
