Hey Live Journal
Hello everyone. I don't know if people actually use live journal any more. I actually haven't written in mine in quite some time. In fact I actually forgot about mine. For some reason i checked it today though and i guess i'll post some things, even though no one will read because i think people have moved on to bigger and better things... like facebook :-P
I think the last time i updated was somewhere around July. I cant account for everything that happened since i last updated. I know i enjoyed my August but it was also a very sad month for me with everyone leaving for college and saying goodbye and all. Even saying goodbye to my kids from Usdan was sad for me lol. The week after all my friends left really sucked because no one was around and because it rained for about 5 days straight. Some of the sadder days of my year i have to say, i've never spent more time doing nothing lol.
So anyways, i've now offically started college. Actually im three weeks into the semester. I wasn't really nervous to come to Hofstra. I love hauppauge and everything and I love my family, but once all my friends left the place just did not seem the same to me. Its funny how you love something for so long and suddenly when the people you love leave, you realize it was them that made you love that place and it was them that made that place great for you. This is something i came to realize during the week that all my friends had left for college. I was feeling kinda regretful that I had not been able to do everything I hoped to do in high school. I wish i could have had some second chances with my friends and maybe start over with them with a new attitude. These were all things I had on my mind. But then I realized I made the decisions i made at that time and that i just cant change the past.
Coming to hofstra i feel like i've started fresh again, both with new people and hopefully with my friends from home. I hope they will see the difference in me when i see them again. I feel a lot more open here. Every day i wake up with a smile on my face always excited about tackling the new challenge ahead of me or the excitement of meeting new people. (well...maybe thats not always true, at least the smile all the time because I have 8am classes everyday so thats kinda early for me lol).
So far i've been having a lot of fun here. Work wise there is a lot of reading, but i actually think high school somewhat prepared me for that. My classes are ok. I had to make a bit of a schedule change before the semester started so im not taking all the classes i wanted to. But no worries, i guess it all happened for a reason and thats what life planned for me. My Bio, Western Civ, Math and English classes are all similar to classes ive taken in highschool. My Philosophy class is a little difficult sometimes but also enjoyable so its all good.
I also made it into the radio station training class. If all goes well i could be on the air in December! I can't wait, hopefully everything does go well.
I also won hall council PR chair for C-Square (the complex i live in)so i'm excited for that as well.
My roommates are great. Many of you already know Eric and know he is a great guy. We were blessed to get a great suitemate Ben who's been incredibly amazing in just making us feel comfortable and happy everyday. We dubbed our suite the "conga lounge" lol, and we have a saying here that goes "keep smiling". Essentially if your not happy or smiling theirs a problem and we need to make you smile. So the living situation has been great.
I miss home and my family and friends that are away at college or in Hauppauge. But i know i will see them again soon, and I cant wait. It will be a great moment.
As for right now, i'm just living the life ive chosen here at hofstra.
just remember this:
"Life's not always the party you've hoped for, but while your here, you might as well dance."
you can interprut that anyway you'd like, but i'll end on that.
I'm actually headed to meet with my English teacher so I can learn how to write better. Maybe that will help make my LJ journals more compelling and more ppl will read lol.
Til next time friends! -Steve
