the pointless post
No one that I know who isn't here actually reads this thing, that I know of, but a certain person will not leave me alone until I post so...I am posting.I left home one month and 2 days ago now...it doesn't quite feel like it yet, though. I stil kinda feel vacationy, like I'm going to go home soon. It's way too much fun here to be school sometimes. For instance, right now I'm surrounded by friends in the study room in my dorm, which is very very cool. TAC social life involves mostly studying in groups and swing dancing...and the occasional jelly beans.
Lesse...I'm never actually bored here, but my daily life still makes a pretty boring story. Today, for instance, I got up(eventually...my bed is quite comfy)and went to work. There I did a bunch of boring data entry stuff and sent out a couple of letters. Then I went to class, and had the best class I've had since I came here. Everything we'd been reading in philosophy finally made sense. It was fantabulous. Of course, I said alot of really dumb things, and I think Mr. Richard thinks I'm a moron, but hey, at least I learned something!
Just don't ask me what...
After class I....hmm. Oh, I helped Kitty get to the commons because she was dizzy(justlike me!) and then I became sympathetically dizzy. It was actually a really bad spell. I had JB help me to mass, where I had to grip the back of the pew in front of me the entire time to keep from falling over onto the unwitting gentleman beside me. I have no clue who he was, but I'm sure he thought my behavior odd. Getting up to communion was also a bit of an adventure.
After mass I worked my way across to where Mary(the one who bites...) was sitting, since my automatic 'help, I'm dizzy and don't know how to get done what I need to' reaction is to find my Mary. So she gave me her seat just before I collapsed into it, and got me food(yay for food!), which I proceeded to eat rather messily. Bill had written her, so I got to read that letter, which was nice, though his diction was frightening. After lunch I went to class, lab, where I alternately slept and counted who else was sleeping. Awesome class, that one...oy. After that I convinced Dierdre that she wanted to model for me sometime soon. Then I went to my room and finished the Iliad, then burned a cd for Nathan, then took a nap until dinner. I ate dinner with Lauren and Scott and a few other people, but it ended up being Scott and I and a bunch of strangers after a while, so Scott and I talked. Then for some reason I got really really depressed and almost started crying. Poor Scott. He had no clue what to do with this suddenly emotional girl. So, since I was dizzy, he walked me back to my dorm to get my Iliad, since seminar was in half an hour. We were waylaid a bunch of times, so by the time we got to the dorm we had more like 10 minutes until seminar. Scott, being Scott, spent the entire time I was inside the dorm buzzing my room over and over and over. My roomate took the phone off the hook, so it didn't bother us anymore. So, having waited for me to come out with my Iliad, he ran off to his own dorm to get his own Iliad. Doesn't make much sense, I'm afraid. Scott never does. Then I hobbled my way, still very dizzy, down to seminar, where I lied to the entire room and insisted that I was completely fine. Tim, of course, didn't buy it, but no one else knows me. Then seminar, which was fascinating.
Are you asleep yet? I almost am. Told you this was boring.
Anyway, after seminar Katy and I walked down the commons, where I flitted about a bit, convinced Maria that she wants to model for me, and convinced Nick that he wanted to study with me. So Katy and I went back up to the dorm, changed, and came out to find Nick waiting.He then ran off to his own dorm(two guys in one day wait for me for 5 minutes and then leave...weirdoes)and met me in the library. The study rooms were full, so we went to a classroom to go over latin. We talked about all sorts of things, and some latin, and finally got through everything we were supposed to. Then we went over Euclid. Somewhere in that time the power went out. I hate it when that happens, but fortunately Nick knows me well enough to immediately whip out a flashlight and assure me that, really, there were no bogeymen in the room. Or squirrels. So we did latin by flashlight until the power came back on. On our way out of the science building, we discussed photography and stuff, and he walked me back up to the dorm. It was only freshmen in the dorm, since everyone else was in a meeting that lasted past curfew, so we locked out all the prefects. Fun. Then there was an odd bout of wrestling(I flipped Mary twice and flattened Kitty once, and Kitty and Lauren each flattened me once...*sigh* I am weak.)Then Kitty and I watched St. Bernards boys run around in black clothes doing something or other, which I will inquire into tomorrow, and came back inside to study. Which we are doing now. Sort of.
There, this post is long enough to make up for all of the previous non-posting, and boring enough to be marketed as a sleep aid. And now, I am off to sleep myself, having succeeded in boring myself nearly to tears.
But I wasn't bored all day!
Pictures to come when I convince Nick to let me use his laptop at some point. Love you all!
