It is true...
When people die they go to better places..
Or so it seems when I apply it to college.
No...I take it back. It is to early to decide if this is truly a better place. However, I can say that it is a worthy substitute.
Some things are a miss in this place and I cannot place my finger on it. I think it started today but I don't care to remember. I've been taking care of business here in college though. I've been buying all the supplies that have been asked for me. I have proven to myself that I can take care of things when I want to as long as I want to. I love my parents, but damn them for thinking otherwise. They let me go to FSU, yes. This proves that they trust me, yes. But they doubted me. I know they did and probably still do because I lived my first 18 years of life with them.
It really hit me just a while ago. I was on my computer playing games no less and I was sucking at it. So I stopped. Then I went through my rounds around my favorites sites and blogs that belong to people I know. Then after a while, what I was doing didn't register. When I came back to life from my daze I realized that I was doing nothing. I am currently in what is to be "the best 4 or more years of my life."
I don't know what is wrong with me. The guys here are mostly cool and I have yet to meet a displeasing woman. My classes start at 11 00 am at the latest. And the last two days of my week have only one class in each. The more I think about it the more it confounds me. I should be taking random walks on campus. I should say hello to every person I sit next to in my classes, on the bus, or that I see in the elevator. That seems the protocol here. I should be out every weekend partying. I have not yet been to one such party. My roommate is not a dick. We get along just fine. I could of sworn I had something concrete to write about when I began this but I cannot find reason in what I am writing about anymore.
Some of my friends have come to FSU but instead of being happy about it, I dread seeing them again. I wanted to meet new people. And I have. Many new people. Male and female. I don't want to run from my past or anything. But there are things that I would of liked to leave behind but I can't because some of my friends are good friends. So I feel obligated to keep in touch with them.
...
The roof of my dorm fell on me the other day. I was sitting in my chair in front of my computer and a two foot in diameter and quarter inch thick slab of concrete fell and cracked on my head. It scratched my guitar, which has a messed up E string, scratched my moniter, and broke my printer. I'm in the process of claiming all this damage.
I think I'm going about my college life in an entirely wrong way. But then again it is only the second week. And maybe I'm just in a funk.
I'd apologize for wasting your time reading this but it is YOUR time. And you chose to read it.
Sincerely
