bleh bleh bleh.
another exciting day on the witt campus. we had "campus 101" and "safety and security" presentations today. Oh the joy. I got to sit in a FREEZING cold gym and listen to people for 3 hours talk about nothing that i didn't know already. i mean, i'm not 21, i'm not supposed to drink, lets just get past that and move on. thats seriously what much of the talk was about. apparently there is a party scene (where isn't there, on college campuses) but it got really repetitive after a while. I did make some more friends today...and i actually opened my mouth and asked a question to an O.A. i just don't know why i can't be the open and exciting and inviting person i want to be. just one of those people who everyone wants to meet. but instead i keep my lips sewn shut and put my hands in my pockets. Why? It's not like it ever hurt me to step out of my comfort zone. more on this later. i need to think about it.
i was looking out the window of the computer lab today, and I just realized how freaking lucky i am to be here. I. Love. It. I really do. everyone is so nice and helpful, all you have to do is ask. i can be independent and go wherever the hell i please. i feel this really is the place for me, and i think i can thrive and do some amazing stuff here. if i ever open my damn mouth.
i get my laptop first thing monday morning!! i'm going to the mail center at 9 sharp to get the damn thing. my first class isn't until 10:20, so i'll have a little time to get it up and running. my poor dad, he didn't even get to see the thing before he had to get to the post office to ship it to me before 5pm. hes probably soooo jealous, cause hes the one who designed it for me. it even has a fingerprint reader!! how sweet is that!
well, i think i might head down to the cdr with my roommate. i havent barely seen her all day....

come sail away
jesus its been a long time since i posted. so much has happened since june!
i went to canada the end of july. it was so fun. i went with kels again, so it was cool to be in the tent with her and spend time together. though this year was kind of different; she got a boyfriend, and ever since then i've been seeing less and less of her. it's not that i'm not happy for her, by all means, i want her to be happy. but seriously, i was the one that stuck by her through all that time. and since canada, i've seen her maybe twice? it just stinks because we used to be super close and all that, but now i don't even know her schedule. its kind of depressing, because no matter how hard i try not to fall apart it seems to happen.
and it doesn't help that i'm the only one of my friends thats going away. yeah, the only one. i mean, of my close close friends. everyone else is going to LC. i don't like it, because while i'm going off and doing some awesome things, all my friends still see each other and are still together. brenda has posted her status with a couple times now of "missing" me. but at least she and i can still text through verizon. woot.
so yea, i'm at college. its my first full day on my own. moving in yesterday was uneventful; we're still in these "new student days" so we've got all that "getting to know you" crap that every new group feels like its obligated to do. i've just been super tired. i mean, all this is kind of exausting. and overwhelming. i don't have energy to really get excited about the spirit rallies and stuff. at least tonight we'll be able to be a little eariler to bed; last night we didn't get back until maybe 11:15. and i still had to take a shower. its so freaking hot. but tonight i'm not going to the casino thing, partially because its hosted by greek and i'm not into that and cause it goes till 11 again. i just wanna sleep!!!
i found out that the book i ordered for my english class was wrong; its not my fault, but damn. i wondered why they had a film book for an english class. i'm not sure if i can return it, but at least i still have the reciepts. i'm trying to be judicious and keep track of all my spending, cause i don't have that much cashola. i mean, i do, i just don't want to spend it.
i also found out that i won't be able to get my laptop until freaking monday. :(((((
sucks real bad. for now i have to use these crap computers on my floor in my dorm (excuse me, Residence Halls). I want it sooooo bad!!! I want to be able to just open it up and go anywhere in the world without having to go to the library or go to a lab. erggggggg.
classes start in three days. this is going to be interesting. i have no idea what to expect. though today was interesting; we had our wittsems, and the teacher (jimmy) was totally cool. he wore denim overalls. honestly? I don't think i even own a pair of those anymore. but he's really funny in a sarcastic/witty kind of way. he doesn't like people saying "um". and smart-ass me, whats the first word that comes out of my mouth when i go to talk to him? UM! way to make a sweet first impression. but we talked about gay monkeys today. Yeah - this girl asked who came up with the "traditional family values" of a mom dad and two kids. well he went on this total tangent about how he had to watch these monkeys one time for a college class. well the lady monkeys were dominant, so they got to choose their mates. and this one girl chose this one boy, and she beat him up because he didn't want to go with her, he wanted to go with other boy monkeys! That's pretty much the only thing i took away from that class. needless to say, we didn't get any homework. i think that is going to be one interesting class.
well, time to go. i think my roommate is done showering by now. i gave her half an hour....?
