I'm having really mixed feelings about college. On one hand it's a whole new learning experience and I'm constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone. On the other hand the majority of the people are uninteresting and generally not intelligent. I've met some nice people, but 'nice' only goes so far. Some of them have gone farther, they are meaningful, adventurous, funny, and genuinely living life. I sound like an elitist bitch (and maybe I am), but I feel like a lot of the people here just aren't up to par. My friends at home are fucking amazing, these people have some BIG shoes to fill.
My chem class is huge and the professor moves quickly and, let's face it, his English is spotty. He means well; he's passionate about teaching, but he's difficult to understand and my discussion section isn't any better. The TA is kind of beeze, rolling her eyes and speaking in a really short tone. I'm not much of a fan.
My anthro class is really interesting and my professor is a very articulate and bright person. He cracks the occasional joke, and makes an already interesting subject even more interesting. I'm excited for this class, the people seem a bit more eclectic, a bit more "me".
My psych class is as big as my chem class, but most of the people are upperclassmen. The professor welcomes questions and cares about his students more than most high school teachers. I just wish I could meet people. Damn 500 person classes.
Today we went out to pizza to celebrate Michelle's birthday; I had a fun time. The group was Wendy, Katie, Sarah, Michelle, Robert, Pryianca, and Stephen. We had a good time walking and laughing together. On the way home Katie, Michelle, and I named each of our bikes and talked about tons of ridiculous things, topped off with some good old fashioned cockroach avoidance.
I spent most of the rest of the evening just hanging out. Youtube, skype, playing recorders. The usual haha
I know it's nothing, but I'm actually so pissed and upset that I got written up tonight. I was hanging out in Desmond and Giovanni's room and the head RAs came by and were like "it's past quiet hours, we're going to need to see your IDs" in such a patronizing tone I asked "wait...really?" thinking they were joking. Really? REALLY? They wrote three of us up for hanging out in their room talking, quietly, too! Fuck that. Seriously, where were they last night when I was trying to sleep while someone had the TV on in the lounge, someone else was washing dishes, girls were squealing at bugs in the shower, and even more people were doing laundry, WELL past quiet hours. Honestly, FUCK THAT. Now I have to wait for a student housing email to tell me when I get to meet with the supervisors. Awesome.
I'm in a shitty mood, I know, but even looking at all of this in an objective way....I have mediocre friends, I'm not meeting enough new people, my classes are pretty decent, and I got a noise violation even though I wasn't being loud. Fuck Davis.

I know how you feel. But judging by your more recent blog you've been having better days of late. I don't think I'm going to make friends better than the ones I have at home. And frankly, why would I need to when I have friends as incredible as the ones I already have? <3 you mountain goat
