So I’m at college now and I don’t really know how I feel about it. It is really awesome to meet people who are like you and have the same kind of view of life, but at the same time it is weird to be exposed to different kinds of people who don’t think the same way you do. That is one thing about growing up in the coal region, you aren’t exposed to anything. Everyone is white Catholics who pretty much all think the same way, so it is definitely weird being thrown into a situation where people are different from what you grew up to. Not saying that I am being close-minded or gay about anything, because I think it is really important to come to college with an open mind, but it is just something I think I am going to have to get used to. It gets better everyday and once we start classes I know everything is going to be awesome so I’m not worried about it. It is so awesome to take classes with people who really want to be there and who have the same goals as I do.
It is also really cool to be able to just walk around campus and go at your own pace; it’s a totally different atmosphere from high school. Now don’t get me wrong, high school was awesome and I miss it, I just really like the fact that you have so much responsibility now and you are pretty much free and in control of your own life. There is no one telling you where to be or what to do and you have this totally sense of freedom. I can’t really explain it. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want and you don’t have to answer to anyone, it is awesome. It’s kinda like staying a hotel, but kinda not. (yanno minus the whole vacation thing) :-p Anyways…classes are awesome for the most part, well at least the classes that have to do with my major, the other ones are eh…but whatever about that. Italian!!! OMG Italian! I love it. I just had my first class today but I just know it is going to be awesome. I’m glad I have three years of Spanish under my belt because the two languages seem rather similar, so that gives me a little bit of an advantage, not much though :-p I remember I hated Spanish but maybe that was because I really didn’t want to take it, I had to. This, I hope to God, will be different considering I really really really want to learn Italian.
So what else…hmm…I still miss home, even though it is getting better everyday. And the showers are increasingly less “werid†every time I take one. I’m trying to come home this weekend but I don’t think that is going to happen…arg…I miss everyone a lot, especially Karen, even though I talk to her EVERYDAY (sometimes more than once and for very long extended periods of time) Who else did I talk to…umm…Corey, Jeff, Jen, Megan, Edward, Jerome, JC, Matty…(he was really happy to talk to me, let me tell you), Lauren, Jared, Eylse, Nate, Chad, so yeah pretty much everyone, except Michael and I am rather pissed at him considering he told me he was gonna call me back like three days ago and he never did! :-p So yeah, that is pretty much my life up to this point. I shall write more as more occurs. Peace out ya’ll.
