Oct. 3rd, 2007 07:45 pmWarning: this post is total babble and keeps going on because I'm trying to procrastinate starting work that I don't want to do but have to finish tonight.
Heh. So I called my mom (first time I've called since like... the day after they left, and I only called then to tell her I made it into Wind Ensemble) today to figure out tomorrow's plans because I forgot when they are arriving and I wanted to see if I'd have time to get any work done before they got here, and I ended up talking to her for 41 minutes. Kind of silly since both my parents will be here tomorrow and I'll be able to talk to them all weekend. But it was really nice to talk to her and tell her about stuff going on here. Plus, it allowed me to procrastinating writing this synopsis of my paper (in which we have to list all our sources, what the hell, it's a synopsis, I don't want to have to do all my research this early when I'm planning on writing my paper next weekend). I'm so happy my parents are coming tomorrow. I miss them a lot more than I expected I would. I only wish they could bring my birds (or at least just Jason) with them, because I really miss them too and won't see them until Thanksgiving (unless I go home for Fall Break. But I'm hoping to go to Chicago. Still need to figure that out).
Anyways. This week has been pretty good. Well, I think this one girl on my floor who was really nice to me the first few weeks really dislikes me now. And maybe this one other girl too, but not to the extent this girl does. I don't really know why. Well, I think it's partially because on Tuesday we got our labs in geology back and she got a 93 (same grade I got), and she was like "Oh god, that's an A-" in this really snotty tone of voice and there were so many kids in my high school like that and I hated it when they acted like an A- (or even a B) was failing, so I responded "You're right; an A- is basically failing," in a kind of snotty and sarcastic voice. So I guess she might not like me because of that, but whatever, I feel like I have more of a right to be annoyed with her over that than she does with me. Or maybe I'm just a bitch. But she and this other girl were also acting kind of coldly to me a few days before that too, so I don't know. Maybe they just decided they don't like me.
Ok, so that wasn't supposed to be that long, and that's more about bad than good. But on the good side, I started really kind of... bonding? with this one girl on my floor. She's in Wind Ensemble too so we've been walking to Wind Ensemble together on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the first week or so we didn't really talk much, or we'd only say a little to each other. But this week, well actually this started a little more last Wednesday, but anyways we've been talking a lot more to each other. And on Monday, when I was watching Chuck, she came into my room randomly and was like "...Hi. I don't really know why I came in," and I said it was totally fine and she asked me what I was watching and I told her and her roommate had been watching the first episode the week before so she asked if she could watch with me so we watched that for a little bit. But she had no idea what was going on so then she didn't watch it all. But then today, after Wind Ensemble, we went to dinner together (well we usually eat together on those days and a lot of the people in my hall also join us around this time) and the girl who doesn't really like me (who's actually her roommate) came over and decided not to sit with us because they needed a bigger table because she had come with three other people (even though we've totally fit way more than 6 people at one of those tables before, and that's part of what contributed to me deciding she doesn't like me) so we just ate together, and then afterwards, when we were walking back to the dorms, she asked if I wanted to get coffee with her, and so we went to Dunn Brothers and just hung out there and chatted a bunch for like an hour.
Ok so probably no one read all that. But just, that made me feel really good. I mean, I'm not about to start attaching myself to her or assume that we're going to be the best of friends, but it's nice that I'm starting to talk to someone more and get to know her. And she seems like she's actually making an effort to get to know me, which I don't really understand, but appreciate a lot. And I think I'll be ok if I have some sort-of friends like her here so I don't feel totally alone.
Anyways. I totally need to get started on this synopsis of the paper because my parents are coming tomorrow at 2:30ish and then we're going to go shopping for winter clothes and boots and then we're going to eat dinner and then we're going to watch My Name Is Earl, 30 Rock, and The Office on the TV in their hotel room. I will have about... 2-3 hours total tomorrow to work on it, but I should get some stuff done now. At least I don't have to worry about my astronomy test because the professor is letting us bring one sheet in with whatever we want on it. So I copied all the concepts I don't have memorized and all the little details onto the sheet and I know where all the information is so I won't have to spend too long looking for any of it, so I'm happy about that. And I did already make flashcards before I found that out and reviewed them the night before so I know most of the stuff really well.
Ok, I need to stop procrastinating now.
