Campus Connection.

Jun 27, 2004 03:38

Friday. I get up. Me and dad go to greensboro. While the ride was going on I was just thinking about my past. Carrington, Northern, DSA, and getting rid of all of that before I step foot out of that door ( it didn't work, more on that later) So I arrive there and the pride leaders are like HEY WELCOME. At First I was a little nervous ( I had my northern football shirt on and I looked like a friggin jock, which was the whole point) A welcome ceremony is given and we split up to our groups. There I met Deron, and Carrie, I was fooling everyone when I told them I was a sports fanatic (after all I did have my football shirt on which I knew would cath some attention towards me and make people wanna get to know me, considering the fact that GC is a athletic school) Things were going great, I was making friends already and the placement test I met more people and I was thinking i'm on a roll!

So I go and continuing going on this facade and lots of people asked the SAME question " Are you playin football?!" (which I did expect) I was like " Maybe, i'm in to music". I refused to tell anyone that I was a dancer. Everything turned out pretty well and people seemed to think I was this off the hook mean tough ass until I was joking around with the pride leader Amber Drew and she like hit me in the arm hard and i wasn't expecting that and the next thing I know I do this big squeeky OWWWW and the guys just stared at me like " What the fuck."

After that little incident I thought all hope was fucking lost. I met Nicki on the campus tour. She's looks like a party gurl and she's VERY outgoing but she's not the party gurl( getting drunk, smokin weed) She's a music major, we hit it off REALLY well. After a while, it started. YES, you know EXACTLY what i'm talkin about. I said I wouldn't do it, but I did. The whole " Everybody hates me" routine. What was my excuse?: These people were athletes, I'm a fucking dancer / opera singer/ cheerleader. Yea I played football but I hated it. That and everybody was talking about shit that I couldn't relate to. I met Alyson and her lil bunch and i forgot all of their names.

Then the fucking camp retreat.It was raining and I was having a horrible time, people were asking if I was ok and they kinda did notice that I was pep at first but then was like depressed here. But yea i'm going to be honest with you., It was hell. I met Chris at the playground, he's a techie soo not into sports. which was rare cuz everyone else was, or those I met. So I'm like all depressed and there is like all this free time and I dunno what the hell to say to these athletes so I just walk around. Moping, doing shit maurio would normally do if he was at DSA. It's like I fucking hate it when people are nice to me, It's like it annoys the crap of me, once you're use to one treatment you just kinda feel stuck with it. I mean it hurts, but it's now normal.

Luckily, that was only 10% of the freshman class, it was getting late and i was getting more miserable, I was thinking about sleeping outside, in the rain, on the grass... but i was like nah, too cold. There was a piano so I played a lil bit. and Mike was like HEY PLAY SOME K-CI & JO-JO ( usual when people ask you to do stuff, it's usual b/c they consider you the barrel of laughs) I gave him a weird ass look. This other dude ( who has a record deal, so much for my music career) plays something and Mike said something and I just stared at him like I was about to kill him he was like ": Dude, I was only trying to be nice" I told him. It's not you, and you wouldn't understand . I didn't bother going thru my lifestory. After all, i was trying to get rid of my past right?! I did manage to bust out a toe touch and a lot of people were impressed which was not the reaction that I was expecting.

I ended up sleeping in the cafeteria couch.. it was pretty comfy. I woke up about got knows when. It was a pretty ass morning. I walked to my cabin and went to sleep . Then the pride leaders screamed and woke us up.

So go eat breakfast. With Jeni and Florence, they are pretty cool. Jeni is really off the hook once you talk to her. and I've clicked with her. I was talking to Nicki messing with her and that's when I met Bryan I thought he was some prep that I was just gunna shake hands to be like yea. He is actually an arts major. He was like "I said clearly that i wanted someone who was artsy as hell" and I was like I don't have a roomate... do you by any chance want to..? He was like sure. We talked for a while and to my very suprised I found out HE IS GAY
and It was like well how about that, I never imagined i'd meet someone gay. Me, him, and Jeni talked and talked and it was actually pretty fun. Man they are about all you need is a small group of friends, I feel complete just by talking to those 2, and Ms. Katy, I love that gurl. Jeni is our official Hag and I think Nicki, heh. I hope things work out between me and my roomate. I think we're going to get along just fine cuz I mean I actually TALKED to him y'know it wasn't one of those acquaintance chats like " Hey, how are you? ", "Where you from?" "What's your major?": and then you just stare in to space and drift apart, we actually talked about... stuff... and it made the bus ride a hell of a lot shorter.

There's alot of other shit about CC but it's late and i'm tired so i will update more tommorow, those were just the main points. nite

Oh, one more thing. I felt like i was at a fucking young life retreat.
