i just called out of work today so i could get some homework done since this quarter is slowly going to kill me. I'm taking a social theory class, my CHID graduation requirement class, and a european feminist history class (my case study requirement for European Studies). Basically this all amounts to lots and lots of reading, and several weekly papers on top of the HUGE papers that will be due later in the quarter and then midterms and finals. come march 17th when i am finished my history final, i will be extremely overjoyed because i will be getting on a plane and going home to new jersey! i miss home a lot lately. i esp think its because i've gotten closer with some people while i was home breifly in august and also because i have kept in touch with a good number of poeple and i didnt get to see anyone for winter break. i've been here for 5 straight months, which isn't that long considering but before it was 8 months before i was home when i went home in august.
i went to a party over at ian's and michael's on friday night. dario, this guy i know from my freshman orientation group, actually showed up which was highly amusing. someone recognized me from the facebook as the founder of the "i love hugs and high-fives" club. kind of weird, but amusing. ian's friend who was visiting during his leave from the marines kept trying to stand real close to me even after i had ian and shannon talk to him about how i wasn't interested in anything at the moment (the polite rejection of course). well i passed out in ian's top bunkbed around 230 when there were still lots of people over. i woke up at 5 and there was ian's friend cuddling with me (while i was sleeping apparently) and kept saying things about how he just wanted to feel someone next to him and i smell so good....then he dragged me into this conversation about how his mother doesn't love him and how girls like me never fall for him. i felt bad for him, but in the way that i know i purposedly was set-up to feel pity for him and guilty because i just dont feel anything for him. i HATE that feeling, it makes me feel very manipulated. I made my excuses at about 615, since hte buses were running. i eventually made it home to my own bed and fell asleep for a few hours before i had to go to work. it was just creepy that guy thought it was okay to crawl into the bed i was sleeping in and try cuddling wtih me AFTER i had clearly rejected that kind of attention and didnt encourage it continuing.
i apparently missed an awesome party with the Gang on saturday night. I got invited by Martha when she and Kayanna came to Target to get some things, but at that point I was too tired to go anywhere. It was really nice that Martha invited me and I'm superglad she came back from Berlin. But lately, I've been feeling a little left out of with the Gang, but I am pretty sure it's not anything personal, but rather that I've live so far from campus now and I really dont spend that much time on campus than I have to because I work most of the time and do homework at home because I often have to use my computer for the internet.
Keiko is having a frat party at her house, dubbed "SAE for Girls" where you have to come dressed like a stereotype of a frat guy or a sorority girl and bring your own drink of choice that is typically popular at frat parties. i'm kind of excited about this one because its people i like to run into but don't often see, esp with the workload i've had this quarter in addition to having a job...if anyone wants to go wtih me, let me know.
oh i'm doing good resisting nate like i vowed. but i ran into him on campus and he expressed an interest in hanging out. hopefully my willpower will hold up. *crosses fingers*
*sigh* back to homework now...
