Ugh

Ok so I haven't posted in a while, that's a given. But it's venting time.
I hate it here at U Miami. I feel almost guilty for feeling that, so I've tried to convince myself that it's not true and I'm just homesick but I really can't do that. So I'm going to walk through all the reasons here. Let's start with people.
I'm sure that there are going to be people who think being skanky and flirting with guys is the most important thing in life at any college, but they swarm the place here. Because we are so near the beach, in pop-capital USA and in a rather rich area, not to mention in frickin' Florida, they are drawn to this place. Because of this, I walk around campus rolling my eyes every few seconds. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with flirting with guys and stuff but there's absolutely no reason to obsess around it. Oh! I forgot, that's not the only thing they love. Evidently, now I wasn't clued in here, if you don't want to go out drinking and go to clubs in the Grove and then go back to the frats and get wasted...well then you just don't have a life! Nay, you're crazy!
By the way, I've quit drinking, for those of you who didn't know, which is most of you. I don't care if that's something you love, good for you, but I've quit and at sort of a crucial time when it is the world around me. If you want to know why I quit I can explain the whole reason seperately.
Anyways. Now to the next reason why Miami is not workin' out for me.
The weather. HOLY CRAP. I thought I could adjust to the humidity and heat, but I've never wanted to go home and be in fifty degree weather so badly in my life. I kid you not. I sweat everytime I head to class, and it's just so hard to function out there!
Next reason. The city.
I am so glad I didn't bring a car, but that doesn't put my in the clear just yet. I have to walk everywhere I can and if not, I get rides from people when they're going out. The traffic here, 15 minutes outside of the actual city of Miami is HORRENDOUS. Absolutely disgusting. I honestly fear for my life everytime I am riding in a car. People do not know how to stay in the lanes or how to brake without killing their brakes.
There's more little things that just get to me, too. Such little things include: the leak in my dorm room which causes the rain to get in and soak my bed, the tiny sugar ants that crawl all over my wall and desk, our broken A/C, and the list goes on.
Ergo, I wish to leave here, so I won't have to have a 7 hour flight between me and home. I'm looking at PLU, UW or, and this is where I'm leaning most, the University of Wyoming.
