Thoughts on SLC
The first week was fine (I was knighted "Elijah Wood"), the second week sucked. ("I dont get to take art this year OMG!") The third week sucked for different reasons. ("OMG Who are my real friends?") Now, neither of those things suck and I need to just stop being self centered and be open to people, but not try to force friendships. Nothing works if you think too hard about it. I really like everyone I've met and I'm finally starting to feel really settled. I have a good feeling that things are going to keep getting better. Clearly there is no better place for me.
I came home "for Rosh Hashanah" (aka home-cooked meals), and I'm getting really bored. It was nice to see some friends and eat and SEE DIANE FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES AT THE NEWARK AIRPORT! and get stuff at Costco (where I ran into Lucien, whatthefuck), BUTTTTT I miss SLC. I'm so glad I live at college and I'm not stuck in Maplewood while the general population of people I give a shit about is away. What sucks is that I have to stay for another day to do some conference research. The Maplewood Library isn't open Sundays, so I have to wait to use it and get a ReBL card to go to Seton Hall and Newark Library, etc. I'm going to have to make trips to NJ every couple weeks this semester. boo.
PS. I haven't been able to listen to music really at all lately. Either I'm busy doing work or my roommates are sleeping. Fucking new dorms triples! I've never appreciated living in my own room so much. speaking of which, my room at home feels really bare and foreign. All I have is this little duffel of clothes and books on the floor. I'm like a stranger in my own house.
EDIT:
EDIT Dos: I think I'm going to organize some sort of doodling party when I get back. I dont know where or how since my room is small but maybe in the Taylor D stairway?
