It's 3:45 in the morning, but I promised Steve that I would update, so I am! I'm actually up because I was totally in a paper writing mood. Once I get in the mood I can actually be productive. I don't have much to do really, I just have two papers due on Wednesday and a test on Thursday, but I need to hurry and get my papers done so I can actually start studying for government.
I was at Starbucks with Dusty today for hours and hours, and then I went to Uris and studied till about 11:15. For once I'm actually in a studying mood... it took me long enough to get in the mood, but as soon as I start running out of time and am under a little pressure, I can actually get stuff done.
This part of the semester makes me so excited, but really sad! I'm so excited to go back to Virginia, just to relax and of course spend time with my family and my bests. And I love summertime. Sunshine and hot, hot, hot Virginia summers! I'm also thrilled to be moving out of Alpha Phi. I realize that it's probably just because it's the end of the semester, and finals, and everyone's under a lot of stress lately, but I really wish people wouldn't try to take it out on each other! People have just been really snappy lately and people that I always considered my good friends have said some horrible things to me recently. I hate fighting with people, I really do, but I also get my feelings hurt kind of easily. I'm still shocked by some of the things I've heard people say to each other since I came up here to Cornell. Some people's lack of manners is just appalling. But I guess it's all in how you're raised, and it doesn't even seem out of line to some people. I think it will be really good to move out of the house and not live with this many girls. Ever again. No wonder Dusty is my BFF at Cornell. It's so much easier to be friends with guys than girls. Then again, Becky's my other BFF here, but I think she is unlike a lot of girls in Alpha Phi because she's really easy going. I'm excited for next year because I think all of us are going to be really chill about stuff, and I don't anticipate any problems at all. If anything, we're all the type of person who would go out of our way not to inconvenience anyone else or hurt anyone's feelings. Plus there's just a lot less potential for conflict, I think, when people have their own rooms. Maybe the problem with Alpha Phi is just that when people are in a bad mood, they can't just go chill by themselves somewhere till they feel better. You're really never alone in this house with 40 girls living here.
I really got lucky in my choice of roommates though. Over all, there has been basically no conflict. And I am really sad to not share a room with Becky and Heather anymore! Just a couple days left! I mean, I'll still be living in the same apartment with Becky, but not Heather! But I am really looking forward to having my own room. I will definitely appreciate that now, after living in a double last year and a triple this year. The triple wasn't even what was really bad this year though, I think. It was really just having 40 other girls living in such close proximity. And because we're sisters, we eat together, live together, go out together on the weekend, we go to the lib together, it's like we're never apart, and that's bound to get a little much no matter how much you love the person, after an entire year. It will be great next year when we're all still superclose friends, but don't all live together.
I mean, I wouldn't trade the experience of living in a sorority house for anything. But, at the same time, I'm really glad that it's over. And I'm not gonna lie either, there are a few people in the house (luckily very few) that I really would be happy to never speak to again. But over all, I'm really glad I became closer friends with all these girls.
So I am a little sad to leave Cornell for the next three months or so. Even though I know they'll fly by, I remember last summer I was really missing everyone here by the end of summer. But then I get to look forward to coming back! And orientation week, which is always the best!
Ok, I obviously am in way too much of a writing mood! It's definitely time for bed, this was not at all interesting, I kind of just babbled, but at least I updated just for you Steve! And Steve better be coming to church with me tomorrow like he promised!
xoxo!
