| Midterms = Over |
| I have been SO stressed out by all these tests. Wow, I am so glad that they are finally over. I think I did kind of badly on my Sociology midterm... In all honesty I didn't study as much as I should have, I mean... I've been hanging out with Alex a lot, and we meant to study, but the L word was just more interesting. I mean really, lesbians having sex is always more interesting. Who am I kidding? Let's just hope I do well in my holocaust test. I really think I did in fact do very well. I'm just quite nervous because she said a lot of people fail her first test. I don't really know why? Oh well. I hope we get it back tomorrow, but hell with 100 students in the class and it having been a short answer exam, I doubt we'll get it back for a while. No grade posted on blackboard. I went to bed at 9am this morning. I am so tired. I don't have much else to write at the moment. Just glad that I'm done with my tests and hopefully will do better on the next round. |

| And it's been a while... |
| You see, this isn't how college was supposed to be. I was supposed to do well. Get straight A's. Make a lot of friends, because nobody knew who I was... where I came from. It's a new semester. I'm trying, very hard. Maybe too hard? I'm just so LONELY. I feel like everyone that I had last semester has fallen into their own place in the world and I'm still waiting for mine. Sometimes I'm so lonely I can hardly stand it. Like tonight. Classes as a whole are going well. A lot better than last semester, that is. I actually miss home. I'd say that's an improvement. Maybe it's because I really would just love to have a great big hug from my mom, and hear how it's all going to be okay. Maybe because I think I might actually believe it if I heard her say it. I'm sick of feeling like a lost puppy. When does it end? |

| Well, as my first official blog entry, I guess I have an obligation to explain some things I'll be referring to often.. SBU, Stony Brook University - Random state university that exists on Long Island. If you don't know where long island is... well, good. I don't feel like being stalked. Nermin, Steph, and Danealia - People I spend (spent?) way too much time around. Unfortunately, the entire group has kind of fallen apart. Nermin moved to another building, Danealia unfortunately won't be coming back to SBU next semester... *sigh* Steph and I are the only two left really. I don't see Steph all that often either, she works tonns, and also spends weekends with her boyfriend. Well.. Enough of that... I guess the reason I started this blog is because college is insane. It's a major turning point for a lot of people, I know it has been for me. There have been a lot of changes, good and bad, in my life since I started school. I'm still not a step closer to figuring out what I'd like to do with the rest of my life, and I'm still very confused about who I am as a person. I needed a place to vent, I've had this domain for a while, and decided it would be a good place to start a blog. I am currently on Winter break from school. Unfortunately, I still have to suffer 4 more weeks off campus, very possibly at home. Suffer, you ask? Well, you don't know my parents very well do you? Basically, I'm living in prison. Sure, it's kind of nice to get off campus for a while.. but in reality? I can't make it in this house more than a week or so. I'll start reverting back to my shy quiet awkward high school self. I can't let that happen. I also can't claim to not be any of the above either, but at least I'm learning to work on it. When school starts up again I will be in my 3rd semester at Stony Brook, I started in January of '07. Before settling down at Stony Brook University, I had a breif encounter with Champlain College, in Burlington, VT. Why did I leave? Honestly, I think I was just uncomfortable in the college environment after the year I'd had in High School. If I had started college at Champlain now, I believe I may have been able to succeed there. Nevertheless, I love Stony Brook, and I intend on making the best of my years there. (With my current GPA? It may be many, many years... remind me to work on that)...Peace. |
