Go Kart Mozart
Second semester at HU has begun. I didn't necessarily want to leave home, but I knew it was time to move on. Besides being a month of hilarities, winter break also rewarded me with overcoming a lot of my insecurities. I don't use insecurities in the "I'm so ugly" sense that it is typically used for, but rather the internal conflicts which face us, fears about what we've become or what our friends have. A lot changes in a semester, ya know? I dont know if this is resolution or adaptation...but it has made the pain subside, so I'm not questioning it. Im entering this semester with so much enthusiasm, that it can't go wrong. Even though it's still January, it's SPRING for me.
Lisa and I were saying our goodbyes and she mentioned that despite how close her college is to Aston, she misses home a lot. I told her that was understandable because I don't consider it "home" unless we're all here. What she said next made me melt. She said, "No Bran, it's not home unless YOU'RE here."
Shaun slept over the night before we left ... obviously we didn't sleep ... a-giggity-gig ... but seriously, we just stayed up talkin all night, we literally covered everything from our first memory, on. I don't think we could ever REALLY have a "Sleep"-over if we tried.
It's only been 2 days but I feel like I've done so much already. The first night I went out to eat with Shaun and all the Leiden-ers for our friend Katie's b-day. Then we went back to their dorm and I had a lot of Rum... then I came back, and when I saw James, i just started crying haha. I guess you don't always realize how much you've missed someone until they're standing in front of you. We stayed up til 5 am playing Mario Kart & listening to 90's music, which James says it the decade of one-hit-wonders.
The second day, I went out to eat with all of my neighbors to the restaurant on campus where we think they skeet in our steaks. Which, for all intensive purposes, might make it taste better. Then some of my drama ladies came over and we drank champagne, and they confessed they all found "Nazi Brandon" danerously erotic. Later on, Kerry, this girl I hooked up with from first semester came over and I think I made a date? haha we're going to see "When a Stranger Calls" on Friday.
O and my drug dealing suitemates got a vaporizer which makes marijuana not smell... so a big WOO HOO for me, thats the thing i hated most about living her last semester.
I've been recommended to be an RA next year...I'm pretty excited about it, I think I just might do it. In other news, I've decided to read the book "I Hope They Serve Beer in HELL". Me? Reading for recreation? WEIRRD! But very college-like. It's good so far, just a bunch of drunken revalries from this lawyer in his mid 20's. Makes me chuckle.
Yesterday I was in the shower, and I had random shower thoughts, which I'd like to now share. How come the word "panties" is sexy? It must be because of the "-ies" because "pants" isn't so much.
