Gee, it's been forever. It's strange though, because the last two and a half months have gone so fast...
I've been doing college things.

I think I got one of the best possible deals: the classes are amazing, I made a fantastic group of friends really fast, it's so gorgeous here, and gah I could go on forever as to why I love this place so much. The vibe is just what I need to flourish. It's definitely a massive change from being at home, wasting time, getting depressed, and living further away from my friends. Now, a "long-distance friendship" means walking across campus from Noyes house to Franklin house, and even that won't last much longer.

Next term, all of my closest friends are going to be living in Noyes with me, and it's going to be wonderful. I'm also rooming with my bi-gay guy friend, and we have such epic chemistry it's not even funny.
Anyways, this place has basically become my new home. I get a violent visceral reaction when I'm back in LA, or even think about going back. When I was there for long weekend in October, I was often depressed and missing it here. I'm going to be really upset when I have to go back to LA for two months for winter break/field work term... :/ It's so bad that I don't even consider it home anymore. I unconsciously refer to 'coming back to Vermont' as 'going home' now. Funny how things work out like that. It's like I was meant to be here.
Speaking of FWT, I got my first job ever!

I'm going to be interning at Fox 2000, and be a script-reading bitch/gofer kinda person. How exciting! *wiggle*
Let's see, what else can I ramble about... Academics-wise, I'm taking some rather intense courses without going into mathematics/science. I'm taking Social Psychology, Gender and Race (philosophy), Pathways: An Introduction to Writing, and Morals in Japanese Children's Literature. These classes are all very reading/writing heavy, and I'm trying to make an effort to loosen up on the work load next term. However, it doesn't look like that'll happen, since there are so many interesting courses... @@ What I'm shooting for is Theories of Psychotherapy (the class that I sat in on when I visited, and part of the reason I fell in love with this place), Global Ethics/Global Justice (WHAT THE FUCK PHILOSOPHY AGAIN?), Art in America since WWII, and American Humor 1940-1965.
I can't take Japanese next term because it conflicts with Psych, but I'm dealing. I'll figure out a way to take it at a later time, if I still love the language... which I'm not entirely sure on at this point, since I'm having such an intense love-hate relationship with it right now. >_> Maybe it's just part of learning a language, I don't know. It would just be sad to give it up, since I already know so much, and kinda automatically think/respond in it now...
I've had the creative itch lately, but I need something to write about. I could have done NaNoWriMo, but I feel like I'm a little too far behind now to get started on it. Ah well, 's no huge loss... I'm thinking of writing short stories or something, mainly reality-based fiction or non-fiction or something. If anyone has random ideas then definitely share. :3 I wanted to submit something to the Silo (the arts magazine here), but the deadline is today, and the only thing that I'm relatively proud of and would want to submit is "I Love My Best Friend." Needless to say, that would be a little too embarrassing to submit, so I'm choosing not to. ._.' Ah well, there's always next term.
I would try to figure out what else to write, but I should tidy up my side of the room some... I'm hosting Guitar Hero WT/5 in my room tonight for video game night, so I'm going to try my best to make this place sorta clean. That and I have two weeks worth of laundry to do. AGHHHH. Anyways, see you, whoever might still read this... xP
PS: I'M SO UPSET ABOUT MAINE. GODDAMNIT QUESTION 1.
<3's for you too, dearie. xD
Just kidding, the watch (and subsequent company) is welcome. x3
