So, the first semester of college is over. I survived and am not dropping out, hoorah. Even though I still do not have the skill of picking up something and staying with it, ie: blogging, I did come out on top with three A's and two A-'s. Not bad, I think.
Besides the regular college classroom bogus, I did learn one important thing-never meet a man for an actual meal when you don't know him that well, it can result in disaster. Also, be sure to avoid men who are abusive...my bad. What I at first thought was seriousness turned out to be an outright controllong disaster! But I survived that as well.
Let's see if I can entertain myself with the regailing of some first semester tales...Well, first things first, for the beginning part of the semester I had one group of friends who were great but not neceesarily my cup of tea. So, after Thanksgiving break I wasn't so excited about coming back. But, once we all came back from Thanksgiving we all started studying for finals and thereby meeting new people because of where we happened to study.
On my first night with this new group of friends I ran around the entire campus finding all sorts of spots hidden from cameras, including up on roofs, on architecturally attractive doorways two stories above ground, and various other places that you would probably never even attempt to try to get to in the daylight. The rest of that night I spent in the hammock with one of the guys in the group just watching the moon.
The next night we all pulled an all nighter and had breakfast in the morning. It turns out that my school's best meal is breakfast. Who knew? The rest of the nights we pulled these all nighters and eventually all of us had our hours backwards and we were all becoming slap happy from too much caffeine.
Did I mention that in these nights instead of studying I took up the various arts of juggling and ripsticking? I even picked up a few sayings in German that I refuse to repeat simply because I don't know how to write them down.
Also, at one point in these endless nights the guy from the hammock bodily kidnapped me with the assistance of one of my girl friends and threw me into his roommates' bed so that we could be introduced. I landed on top of his sleeping roommate and had to apologize for waking him up. They said that he wouldn't know what I looked like anyway because he has bad eyesight and needs glasses. The next day he stopped me in the hallway to say hello...
On another note, has anyone ever heard of a 2/3 floor? I had to find the philosophy department to discuss my final paper with my professor and her office was at the very end of the building on the 2/3 floor! What? Where else in the world has this ever occurred? It took me twenty minutes of sleep deprived time to find that office!
Also, another lesson for the day, don't date anyone that you have no idea who they are! Either get to know them first or at least make sure that your friends know them and they aren't a weirdo. A shudder from me emphasizes that last statement.
Oooh, the best story of all....I had to study for my math final and a couple guys from my class live in my building and so we decuded to study together on one of these endless nights. We're set up at a table studying with other people around us and all of our books and computers and coffee/energy drinks are strewn all over the place. I'm sitting there thinking that I have three finals and a huge paper left to do and out loud I say, "I'm so depressed that I have so much left to do! Someone shoot me or something." The incredibly awkward guy sitting across from me says, "Well, we can have pity sex, but only if you want." My jaw hit the floor as I said, "Pity sex...no thanks. Now if you had sad sex...no." Everyone else around us stared at the guy like he was an alien and for a few minutes no one could get back to work.
At some later point in time I was really jittery from an energy drink and couldn't focus, I stupidly verbalized this and Awkward Guy says, "A great way to burn off that energy would be to have sex with a random stranger" (at the words 'random stranger' he motioned to himself). And, last but not least, at another time he said, "Agh, I have so much energy I could do an entire sorority." All of these statements were greeted with jaw drops and stares. Me thinks that Awkward Guy really just needs to get laid.
At least now I know that someone somewhere finds me attractive, even though some guys will do it with anything...oh, well. Ce la vis, or something like that.
Anyways, I'm young and still have many lessons to learn in life and I have many people left to meet and such as that. But at least now I am caught up on all the stupic crap that happenned this semester. I'm sure I'll remember more stuff as break goes on, but for now, good night.
