I'm such a slacker. But not really, because since I've been at school, I haven't had the internet. I mean, what am I paying 23,000$ a year for?

Anyway, my classes have been going pretty okay. I just got an A on my test number 1 for Culture and Civilization. So that was a big relief. I'm glad that at the end of the semester, I'll be done with math classes for the rest of my life. My freshman "Introduction to the College Experience" (ICE) class is so stupid. Last class, she made us go outside and play football because the boys wanted to. I studied for my government test. I'm retaking my government test tomorrow morning because I barely got a C the first time around. But he's a fun instructor, so it kind of balances out. He hates George Bush and the police, so he's pretty awesome. My only snags are my T/R classes (Tuesday/Thursday). They're too long and the instructors suck. But since they're only a semester long, I think I can manage for now.

I'm also participating in mock trial. At least, I think I am. I'm not sure yet. You see, there's a person in mock trial, and that person makes me feel very unwelcome, and insults me on a personal level, as well as on a student basis. The person will start off by insulting my work so far on a case, and then get into how I won't be able to do it because ________ (insert random bullshit insult here). And I wouldn't mind quitting, because it's like, I have so much fun with everything and everyone else, but then as soon as that person says something, I hate everything. And that's not right. I don't think I should have to be subject to the same high school behaviour that I so desperately tried to escape. So I have to let my coaches know whether or not I'm sticking with it.

Also, I'm currently dorming it, obviously. My roommate decided to move out because it was financially better for her to commute. She would've had to take out a personal loan in order to stay in the dorms. So I have a double room to myself for the semester, for the low, low price of 300$ more. But that's okay, since next year, I'll be moving in to a single room anyway. I need my privacy. But my hallmates, they *really* suck. I mean, I'm over it, you know? The whole, being away from your parents and living it up aspect of it all. I've already been over that. I guess I have alot more respect for my neighbors than they have for me. Because they're up at all hours making noise, and I can't sleep. I have early morning classes, so my health is going to start to suffer here pretty soon, too. They also stole from me. They took the marker and eraser off the dry erase board outside my room. How petty.

I enjoy coming home every weekend. It's a really nice break from dorm life. I get to see my cats and just relax for a couple of days. Also, I get to catch up on my sleep, which is totally cool. I do enjoy my sleep.

But I should probably get back to studying for my government test so mom doesn't have a heart attack and/or beat me down.

Thinking - "Life is like a box of chocolates. It's a cheap thoughtless perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you ever get back is another box of chocolates, so you're stuck with unidentifiable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an english toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat that, all you have left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappings."
