basic intro.

[wanderwithin]

 I don't know exactly why I'm deciding to create a journal when I'm feeling so "un-creative."  I'm feeling a bit isolated in life right now, being trapped in a lifestyle that does not include a social life.  I'm temporarily living with my parents so that I can save my money to leave the country again.  This time I'm going to Africa.  I think about it a lot, but I'm also concentrating on finishing school.  I decided to turn my minor into a second major, so I'm taking a million times more classes than I need in order to graduate in the summer.  I'm living a rather interesting life right now which consists of work, internship, school, and studying.  I work 30 hours a week.  I intern 10 hours a week.  I have 5 very demanding classes.  This is not easy to accomplish, one could say it is impossible unless sacrifices are made.  I, in turn have sacrificed my social life.  Usually the social life is a top priority in the lives of normal human beings.  It was my priority for the entire year that I was in France.  These days all the socializing I get is with the people I work with, and my mom on the weekends.  I don't talk to anyone at school.  I prefer, inbetween classes, to sit outside and ponder while watching people walk by.  People watching it a hobby that I picked up when I lived in France.  Not talking to other students is probably a bull-headed things to do because those people probably have more in common with me than my co workers.  All of them think that I am crazy with all of my wild ambitions that I have towards my future.  Most of the people I work with have families and no education, and most of them are republicans.  Hell, most of my friends that I never see are republicans.  That just means that we can't discuss much beyond popular culture and internal gossip without becoming heated, and then distanced.  Oh well.  I'm ok with having nothing in common with everyone that I speak to on a daily basis.  I do learn a lot about tolerance, and I know a lot about why abortion is horrible and Hillary Clinton is an asshole.  Sometimes I talk to my friends from France, but not very often.  I think this is why I have been writing so much.  I need to get my thoughts out one way or another, and I think that by now, my mom is getting sick of listening to me.

Anyway, this semester is almost done, and I'm burnt out already.  Everyone is actually.
