First real post back in a while and possibly the last.
To start, today was loads of fun.
Delicious sushi, odd thrift purchases (owl statue, two beerstein-esque shot glasses, book on man manners or something), port adventures, awesome gifts, and not really saying goodbye.
Check facebook message, I have a few things to ask of you.
Next, classes.
Traditions in Conversation (apparently a course everyone has to take, where they take about Augustine or something, I’m too tired to remember)
Basic Chinese I (doodle, you’ll be helping me A LOT).
The Literary Experience (I haven’t read up on this yet, but it sounds incredibly boring).
Differential Equations with Linear Algerbra (not the math course I wanted, but whatever, I’m going to take them all at some point…)
International Relations (could be interesting, could just be a boring intro course).
Mostly afternoon classes, which actually annoys me, I’d rather be done early, take a break, and do my work.
Then there’s other activities.
I don’t know what I want to do at college yet.
I have work study, so I have to figure that out on my first day of orientation (that’s when in do it, I’m not just being lazy), then I want to do some sort of community service or club.
My main goal is to stay busy and get myself into a fuller schedule, to try and stray from the too laid back life I’ve had. I’m not bringing a tv or video games or any of that, hoping to keep away from needless distractions and get focused on actually doing things.
Guitar is coming though.
My hope is my lfe consists of classes/work, “job”, religion/volunteering, club (still up in the air), music (hence my guitar), and staying active in some way (club sport or longboarding if max actually gives me one).
I want this to be my second chance to do more. I’m not blaming my friends for the fact that I feel this new for a second chance, but I, for now, don’t care about “making friends”, in hopes that I figure out a good balance of the things mentioned above and meet people through those (probably people very different from the friends I have now).
I’ve never been a party kid anyways. I mean, I’m sure I’ll go to some, but I kind of want my social interactions to be based around doing things, instead of people I just live with and see a lot and all we ever do is bum around and go to class.
See, as much as I’ve loved my life here and love my friends, I do look back on all the wasted time and wish that maybe I did things different.
Anyways, all I know about my last days are a family dinner tomorrow, hanging with D E and MK the next night or two, stopping by my dads to say goodbye, packing, and saying goodbye to everyone.
Tomorrow scattered amongst family obligations I need to sit and go through all the school stuff I can, and get started on all the things I still need to do. Then, if there’s time, read.
Sorry if this is really long, but it might be the last, so deal :]
In case it is, thank you tumblr, thank you for listening to me whine, for helping me think and grow, for bringing me close to Doodle and MK (who as much as they hate me an I hate them and they hate each other, aretwo of the most wonderful people I’ve met), and for more things I can’t think of because I’m tired (how many times have I given you that excuse???).
Bye, or at the very least, G’night.
