he's got all kinds of time...
i've finished all the problem sets that are due this week. which gives me lots of time to write a nice, LONG post for y'all to read. dude, it's not like i update a lot. so deal with it. i'll even explore LJ Cuts for easier reading for y'all.
"Econ is like a bulldog. When you're far away, and it's asleep, and you don't have to deal with it, it's adorable. With its rolls and all. But if you get too close adn don't know what you're doing, it's gonna bite you in the ass." -J.R. 9/28
so my social life is hardly exciting. on monday, about ten of the Wisconsin students here gathered to watch the PACKERS beat the bears. hahaha. this is why i love wisconsin. wisconsin people are so cool. however, it was also the first time in eight days that i had seen megan, and i am quite certain that i blew my chance. so it's back to the drawing board/singles bar/wall-flower-dom. take your pick. and this is only the latest in a string of failed social attempts. i am getting the feeling from many people here that they spend time with me because they feel sorry that i don't have anyone else to spend time with. and so i go out and try new things to try and make new friends. and somehow, i fail miserably... again. i hate the feeling of i'm-really-pushing-here, but i also hate the feeling of i'm-going-to-wait-and-see-what-you-do. and so i'm generally frustrated right now. and even those friends i DO think i have are finding New and Exciting friends, which puts me in a somewhat awkward position. it's even worse than USM-- i don't think i'll ever find people as accepting of my weirdness and as smart and as supportive as those people from high school who are reading this (ellenneithernor, solargecko, elfbabe, thank you.)
my computer is struggling, to put it kindly. as in: at least twice a day now, it freezes to the point of won't-even-respond-to-ctrl-alt-del. which is... annoying. so i turn it off and turn it back on again, and it works for another hour or so before repeating this performance. i have scanned it for viruses. i have defragged the hard drive. i have complained to my father. I JUST REINSTALLED WINDOWS A MONTH AGO. the hard drive is only 1/4 full. yes, the computer is 4.5 years old. but i mean, come on. anyone have any suggestions? (i did agree with my dad that the longer i wait for a new computer, the nicer a computer he will buy for me. so, obviously, i'd like to wait for a really nice computer.
also, incidentally, i have managed to flex a mouse button to the point where it has come off the computer.
my parents are coming out in ten days. which is great. and charlie w. is coming out in ten days, which is also great. but i wish they didn't have to come out on the same weekend. i want to spend time with my parents; i want to spend time with charlie. but i'm afraid i won't be able to spend time with my-parents-and-charlie. and i REALLY want charlie to come here next year (you don't realize how cool charlie is... or maybe you do. i don't know.) but i also won't be able to spend time with my parents until thanksgiving. and this will be the only time they're out here this year. argh.
i'm so good. i've gone to the gym at LEAST every other day. muah ha ha. but my stupid knee hurts.
classes are fun. social life is wanting. computer is dying. but otherwise... life is good.
and so ends the epic post. peace, yo.
