I've got a year and a half left of college and I'm already ready to be gone. I went to the Peacecorp meeting last night and I'm desperate to go. I want to be in Eastern Europe so badly. Everything about it is so interesting, the culture, the changeover from communism to pseudo-democracy, to actual democracy. I want to be there and see it. I can't wait to find out if I'm going to London next fall, that will making waiting for the end of college so much easier. I need a new group of people in my life, I'm getting tired of being alone. Even though I have friends, really great ones, I still feel very isolated. I'm sure that most people feel that way and that I am in no way original or whatever, but its true and I'm ready to stop feeling that way. This semester I've decided to drown myself in work in order to better deal with everything. I'm starting an internship with the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey on Thursday. I'm pledging for the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity thing, and I'm taking 3 seminars which assign at least 80 pages of homework per class. I think I'm doing a pretty good job on the whole keeping busy thing.
In other news I'm going to the Dominican Republic for spring break and I'm wicked excited. Kellie, Cori, and I are going to spend the week riding horses, snorkeling, kayaking, biking, and of course getting drunk. It will be really nice to be legal for once and not have to worry about getting caught. I know most of you are 21 and it doesnt matter anymore, but now that everyone around me is turning 21 I'm feeling more and more isolated. So yeah...it will be nice to be able to hang out with my friends without worrying about getting me or them in trouble.
I've been going to the gym alot, I've lost about 4 lbs which isnt alot but at least it something. I feel like I'm starting to get back into shape, now I just need to keep up the motivation and go the rest of the semester. Riding has been going well. I fell off for the first time a couple of weeks ago and got a concussion and a bruised tailbone...not fun. I'm still a little scared when I first get on and when its time for jumping but its getting better. I had an amazing ride at my last lesson that really boosted my confidence, and I managed to get second in my first novice flat class. The only problem there is that now I have to live up to that. Oh well...I'll try.
Well back to more ridiculous amounts of homework...which actually means watching SVU and crashing at an incredibly early hour. Le sigh...
