Whoops. Guess it's been a few days.
Though, I have something slightly tragic to announce:
I'm sorry to say that I suffer from a common disease known as FOMO.
I am currently doing my nails, in Sneha and Kieryn's room, with them and Jinny, watching Dr. Who, when I have a ton of homework that I should probably be doing.
Because I'd rather do my nails with friends than do homework, even if I have to watch a show that makes me feel physically dizzy and thoroughly creeped out. Sorry to offend all you Whovians, but I really don't like Dr. Who. I don't. I'm sorry. I can't do it. I can't. Well, I can, but barely. Depends on the episode and who I'm with. I will never ever ever watch "Blink" again though. E.V.E.R.
But I do like spending time with friends, and I know that I would feel sad if I wasn't hanging out with them. So... FOMO. Fear of Missing Out.
Well, might as well blog while I'm not doing homework.
When did I last blog? Thursday?
The last blog I wrote, I wrote during my discussion session on Thursday. Class that day went well- I'm finally finished with my first Writing 150 paper. I was pretty tired throughout the day because of it, but that's what caffeine is for, right?
Theater History wasn't too fun. But is it ever? Sorry... I guess I'm just bored with that class very often.
Like I said, I wrote my blog during discussion that day. Then IV that night was really nice!
There was only one moment during the day that wasn't so nice... well, I suppose it was bittersweet.
I found myself on Facebook, wasting a bit of time, and then I ended up on Walker's Facebook page.
I went through his entire page... from his first few posts up to his last birthday up through the posts that everyone put on his wall last October.
It's painful. Painful and bittersweet... I miss him so much....
Friday was almost productive. I was going to get some homework done all day, but I spent 4 hours wasting time on YouTube... whoops.
Yesterday was FAR more productive. I spent all day doing homework, with only a few breaks.
One of them was while I was working outside, in the quad. The grass was nice, and the sky was beautiful and blue. I stopped working for a while to watch the clouds go by and find shapes in them... Tell me- when's the last time you've done that? Just watching the clouds go by... It's a peaceful and lovely activity.
Then I went to see a play called "The Glory of Living." My friend Francesca was the stage manager, and it sounded interesting. It turned out to be a pretty heavy show, with lots of murder and crime, but the ending made you really think about whether the title was sarcastic or not. I was fascinated by the whole thing.
What else did I do on Saturday.....
Oh yeah. I went to a frat party.
First one! Yayy! A friend of mine invited me to the party, since he's in the fraternity, and I know you don't technically need an invitation but honestly, I probably wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. So I'm grateful. I'm also glad I went!! I saw a good handful of people I know, and met some new friends as well! I don't remember all their names, and somehow, I don't think they'll all remember me. The only way I can honestly tell if someone's drunk or not is by the smell of them when you're in a place like this, but I'm still pretty sure that most of the new people I met were fairly inebriated. It's hilarious how little there is to drink that doesn't have alcohol in it though. Don't worry, I managed. And no, I didn't have anything alcoholic. But it was still a great time!
I guess I should write about today too, since it's the end of the day!!
There's not much to report though. I'm tired, but that's a given. I got a lot of homework done, but I still have a ton to do. This week is going to be H-E double hockey sticks as far as homework goes, so I think I'll just skip the work for now and cuddle up with Lord of the Rings while I still can.
I only have about 100 pages or so left in "Fellowship." I would give you my thoughts about it here on the blog, but I don't quite have an hour to spend writing at the moment.
It's funny- I considered myself quite the bookworm back in middle school, but really fell out of the habit during high school. I've always loved to read, but I just got so much more drawn into the movie culture that I haven't considered myself a huge bookworm at all since. But after people being genuinely surprised at seeing me at the fraternity last night, and the realization that I hardly know up from down if I'm not in the library or in my dorm room... I guess I am a book nerd. I mean, I knew already I was a bit of a dork (Lord of the Rings and Disney obsessions? Yeah. That'll put you in that category), but this... this is new.
Do I like it? A little bit. I don't like to be defined by any specific title if I can help it, but I also like most of the connotations of this particular title. Nevertheless, I do wish I was a bit more street smart. At the same time, you have to go through some pretty tricky situations and make quite a few mistakes in order to get that way.
...Maybe I can disguise them as adventures and go from there. As long as dragons are involved. And swords. And archery. And pirates. And maybe a few mermaids or even better armies of elves and woodland creatures who rush to my aid but an enemy overtakes them so suddenly it's up to me and so I can swing out my bow and arrow like Katniss and....
...and this is why I'm single. And why I'm a dork. *sigh*
All this rambling is telling me I should probably get some sleep while I can.
So I shall. May your day be an adventure of epic proportions, my friends, and Fight on.
