So to copy Amanda's triumphant return to LJ, I'm going to post a little diddy (though it won't be much of a return or very triumphant for that matter).
I don't even know where to start.
Throughout all the ups and downs of my freshman year at the U, my life took a couple of unexpected turns. During for the moment, they were for the worst, but it turns out, everything happens for a reason. The most amuzing part of college however, was when I thought that all the drama I had in High School would just go away.... Needless to say, it didn't. There were many a nights talking friends out of doing things and helping them through their eating disorders, along with "group talks" about "feelings" and "misunderstandings". I guess that's what you get when you have 10 strangers get together...and live in very close quarters for a year, sometimes under high stress situations (do I smell a sick com?). Anywho...dispite the pity arguments among them and the problems (me not playing a role in either except for being the mediator and listener), we became very close and I truly do believe that these friends I made will last a life time. It's quite a wonderful concept you know. And my roommate was pretty much the shit. She was crazy and we got along so well. I really regret not taping her and putting her on Youtube...because she would probably be the most watched person on there...never a dull moment in our room when she was there. Though we're not living together next year, she'll be living in the same Res Hall as me (only a floor below), so if I get too bored, I'll just pop down and say "Hi".
Classes were decent. Some I loved (Environmental Issues and Solutions, Intro to Mass Communications, Origin of Civilizations) and others I hated (Spanish). But my professors were amazing and I got to know a couple of them personally. It's rather cool that even though in a class of 180, the professor knows you by name. I did well in my classes, B's and a C first semester, and then A's and a C (fucking spanish) second, leaving me with over a 3.0 gpa!!! This means I get to go into the School of Journalism and Mass Communications where my major of Public Relations is based out of!!! Horray for me one step closer to my future =P. I have yet to decide on a minor however. Originally it was going to be Spanish, but it's not looking that way any more (I rather much dislike it now). I'm tossing around the idea of English or Environmental Sciences.
I got involved a little bit with becoming an Admissions Ambassador (I gave tours), so if anyone is intrested in touring the campus...you know who to call. Second semester I also had a job. It was interesting. I was a Student Library Assistant and pretty much mine (and about 8 others)'s job was to pull 70,000 books and move them to carts in the library basement. This was done in order to make room for new books. One day we took a field trip to see where all our books we pulled were going. In this underground tavern, I saw over 1.3 million books. It was rather intense and quite impressive (even though I'm not much of a book lover).
Weekends remained uneventful (even though I lived in Minneapolis and was about a 15 minute bus ride from down town). A couple amazing trips included watching Sweeney Todd and Cabaret on stage. Cabaret is now my new favorite broadway. It was the most amazing production I've seen. (Granted I've only seen that, Sweeney, Rent and Chicago) But next fall is going to be amazing!!!! Wicked, Grease, Fiddler, Spring Awakening, Chours Line, Phantom, ect are all coming to the Cities!!!! Along with the theatre scene I saw some amazing music concerts (EELS!!!!!, Big D and the Kids Table, the Buffli, Ludo, Cartel...). Went to the clubs a couple of times. Rather fun. Many trips to the Mall of America. Went to the Como Zoo once (never made it to the Minnesota Zoo...next year). Most of the time we just chilled on campus, ordering pizza at 2 in the morning (yay MESA!!).
So far my summer is going amazingly well. I'm working a lot, so if you have free time, stop into the DQ to say Hi. More than likely I'll be there. Spent time with Kenz today....I missed that girl so much! Now we have the whole summer today!!! I get to work with my main squeeze Sarah over the summer and am way excited for that. I'll get to see Jacob over the weekends which is nice. And then Joshua whenever I have time! Nothing big happening in the future this summer. Wisdom teeth are coming out in June. Less than Jake, Goldfinger, Big D and the Kids Table and Suberban Legends concert along with my birthday in July. Bjoren is coming in August and staying until October!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really looking forward to his visit (probably more than I should, but oh well).
Uhh....yeap...I thought this was going to be short, but considering I probably just summed up this whole past year, it's short. But I work a 9 hour day tomorrow...or should I say today. Yay 10-7 shifts. I work with awesome people so it should be a fun time.
I guess I'll talk to you guys later and have an amazing summer!!! |
