"You've gotten a lot meaner since freshman year, Kate."
I'm not sure how to take that. I know I've changed a lot...and I hate pausing and wondering if who I am now is an improvement on who I used to be. I suppose it depends on when I'm comparing and what specifically I'm comparing. As far as being nice to people, yeah, I've probably slipped downhill a bit. But as far as feeling comfortable in the world - not awkward or outcast - I'm definitely better. I used to be quiet. Jeez, what happened to that? Sometimes I'm scared that I offend people when I just speak up, so maybe I should pay a little more attention to the things I say...
Life is so very strange. There are so many levels of people and everything about them. I have no idea what point I'm trying to make.
I don't want people to think I'm a snob. It sounds like I'm just worrying about how people perceive me, but it's more than that. It's no fun to be around "snobs" and so I don't want to be someone who is going to impose my negative presence on anyone...I don't want to annoy or offend.
For heaven's sake. I don't know what I'm saying.
Blah, blah blah, blah.
Late start tomorrow!
