Yes, it's been a long time, no, I haven't given up on blogging, I've just had a tough/busy last week and a half. I have successfully taken my first two college exams and lived the tell the tale. I have struggled through a week of mourning. I turned in and got my grade back for my first paper (a B+!). I cried myself to sleep twice. I missed my friends and family. I laughed really hard with my roommate about stupid things "late at night" (we both go to sleep before 11 on average). I missed hugs and definitely hugged a couple people who did not want to hug (shout out to my hall-mate Anna who is a common hug-target despite her dislike of physical contact). I've skyped/facetimed with two of my friends and both of my parents. I'm still alive. I'm just glad this past week and a half is over and I can move on at least a bit.
Here are some random updates about my life:
I have successfully made off with THREE pineapples from Gwinn, our campus cafeteria, and have thoroughly enjoyed cutting them up and eating them in my room at my leisure.
One of my photos for the school newspaper The Falcon was on the front page (albeit under the fold). Yay for that, even though the photo was pretty much boring and posed. Whatever! Front page!
I sent out some weird postcards and a thank-you note a few days ago. I really like that I'm still writing and sending snail-mail. I was worried that perhaps it would lose its novelty (as it may still!), but so far it has continued being worth my time and effort and money, so there we go.
I have ruined three pints of ice cream in my stupid freezer that doesn't freeze things. I am bummed about the waste of so much of my money!! Ben & Jerry's!!!
It hasn't rained in two weeks and I'm starting to worry. I want rain. This week is foggy. If I wanted fog I would have stayed in San Francisco!! Seattle=RAIN!
I'm still not enjoying my Sociology class, but we did get one interesting assignment which required us to break a social norm and record peoples' reactions to it. So I sat in our hall's elevator for forty minutes and had some interesting interactions. I guess people don't sit in the elevator eating chocolate and singing along with their iPods very often. Huh.
I may or may not participate in a low-key talent show in my dorm called "Coffee House". My friend Tory plays the piano and we may perform "Into The West" (which you may recall is from LOTR:ROTK). I have a strange feeling that I might not have the guts to do it in the end, but it's an entertaining thought at least...
I have watched a LOT of Veronica Mars. I love it. I can't stop. Don't try to help me.
I went on our hall retreat this weekend and had a horrible time. Yeah, you read that correctly. Despite the really fun-filled looking pictures, I did not enjoy myself. I was dealing with feeling really lonely, not having my two closest college friends there to hang out with, and the tragic loss of somebody I knew and all of those things combined with PMS sorta made the entire trip horrible for me. Enjoy the pictures and pretend I had a good time (I've done a pretty good job of it myself).
Doesn't all that look fun?! (undecided about how much sarcasm is there...) We were at Camp Casey which has some very beautiful concrete bunkers that we built in the 1890s for some war or another. I am obviously an expert on the subject.
Wow, this has been a pretty negative post, sorry about that. I just had a tough week and I'm shifting the blame for my negativity to that. Convenient, right? Right.
I would like some prayer for some things if you wouldn't mind: My roommate is dealing with something tough right now, so for her to lean on God through that. I'm still church-searching and since I wasn't around last weekend, I feel pretty unsuccessful in that. I guess prayer that God will lead me where He wants me, sooner rather than later? Am I allowed to ask for that? Friend-making; I'm turning out to be a bit of a hermit and because I'm so socially exhausted after a day of classes I usually retreat into my room and don't spend time with anyone unless they come to me. I don't even know where to begin with making friends because I'm so unmotivated right now... Le sigh.
