My cozy new home
Just moved down two floors. Everything is suddenly 100x better. The office screwed up & gave me the slightly bigger room, but Andrea decided it was fair that i keep it since we pay the same rent & last semester she got it. Sooo-- yay. About 7 sqare feet of extra space. Thrilling.
These roommates are actually human beings, so i think it'll work out alright. Tanya is a soph. music major from Texas who is superbubbly & sweet & very chill (smokes pot & burns incense non-stop). I don't really mind at all though- it is so nice to have somebody normal to talk to. Julia is a grad student math major with a slightly nerdy boyfriend who is also really nice. I just joined the 3 of them + Andrea & one of Tanya's friends for their monday night ritual- a big spaghetti dinner with red wine and fresh chocolate chip cookies, enjoyed while watching 24. It was...different, but really enjoyable.
I think i've developed a severe reluctancy to make new friends. I've been so comfortable with the crowd I've met in the dorms from last year that I don't really need to. I don't really have any interest whatsoever in going to real parties & "meeting" people (err..drunk frat/sorority type people) so my social life is kind of at a very comfortable low. Is that a dangerous place to be?
Plus, I'm truly sick of boys in my classes & the expectation that i show a romantic interest in they become my study buddy. Why can't anyone understand? College is hard. I JUST want a little help. Cooperation for the benefit of the group, you know? That is what i need to survive, really, but it doesn't work like that. After a few homeworks, they want to meet & chill & go to movies & other stuff...but i really am not interested in any of the extras. I understand their position of course: Being a smelly physics nerd- where would you look for a girlfriend? My physics class has 2 girls in it- me & this very asian chick with big glasses. Most of my other medium size classes are comparable to that ratio. I'm starting to think that maybe I outta just utilize TAs & office hours solo rather than trying to save time by working with a group. My position as a girl in these classes is starting to suck. REAL bad.
So anyway, the point of all that was that I don't really remember how to make friends. i hope I can figure it out with my new roommates, because maybe it'd be nice to have people to make plans with other than the unreliable boys i've been chillin with for so long now.
