Back to University....Updates!
Hi everyone! I can finally update after my hiatus at home.
I'll miss home, but if I keep myself busy this week, it will be fine. I need to not slack, lord knows I have tons of things to do. . . . But keeping a good balance is good as well.
Good news! Even though my room is again on the north side of the building (whyyyyyy, S.A.D., whyyyy), it's only on the second floor, and in the teeny little honors floor. (which is connected to the cafeteria next door by underground tunnel). Since it has finally snowed and is now really cold, this is good. :D All my classes are close, even though a couple changed their descriptions on me after I signed up for them. like, my one tomorrow: 'history of journal writing in japan'....riiiiight.
I'm gonna see my advisor soon about changing my major from open to Japanese, and then about making sure I get my history and psych minors set up.
But the best part!!--my new room really feels good. I have some of my amazing things I've collected over the last two years, like butterfly magnets from disney, scrolls for the walls, a neat lamp, a good pillow (I have brand new sheets, too! And they're RED!! xD;;), a 40's-style makeup case, artbooks, address book, and now, even a home-made, really big drawing board. There's also brand new furniture! The smart-kid dorms got neew desks and dresser-type things this year, and they're good. the drawers slide well and they're AT THE SAME HEIGHT. So more counter space! whee. And I have a new computer table thingy that i got for christmas, that's just grand. Don't have a place for it yet, but I love it! ♥ So I have all these things and they make up me. I'm also on the naase floor again, however that happened. Maybe that makes my room assignment less random than I originally thought.
While the guys downstairs are the first-year boy tech students or something weird like that, and have super-speakers and play DOOM III all day most likely, I think I may be able to overcome that for how awesome my roommate is now. Tiffany is a girl like the rest of us(terrible I say that but you know what I mean)--very normal, not preppy, oh I was worried seeing all the plucked-eyebrowed, stupid blond girls coming out of the dorm today--and she's a gamer!! Doesn't knwo about anime, but she has a huge tv, a super-nintendo, and a PS2 (partially to play the dvds)! Man, how much better could it get? How about, the fact that she likes racers and shooter games, AND she goes home on the weekends. (adult swim, yay) Man, I don't think it could get any better than this. Two girls I know from HS are also on my floor. One is two doors down and the other's directly across the hall!! Strangely, however, they have both gained a fair amount of weight since I last saw them. 9_9
anywho, moving on... (have I said thanks for reading, yet?)
So, gotta get books this week, and finish projects. Gotta do the paper for CMU, so that I can get credit for the whole Disney thing. However, coming away from that, I feel ... the proverbial more "grown up", and really independent! I had a real full-time job, and, even though being an indentured servant (no joke) is stressfull, and there was the cosntant fear of getting fired over my head, while living in company housing that always reminded me of dollhouses, I made it! I really can survive in the real world. Even though some things could have been much better, and I never got in touch with the writers, I really am glad I went. I did something on my own and made it. And my soul is still safe. <3
That's about it so far. Love you guys! Hope your years' are looking bright as well!
