Amanda loves my big brain. I'm glad somebody does.
44 days till the end of my world.
I haven't written for too long. (too long = about a week in my world) But seriously. I haven't written anything of any substance for a while. It's driving me nuts. I just don't feel it anymore. That's not true. Sometimes I feel it. I just can't seem to get it all worked out long enough to write it down. It's this college crap. Even the idea has me scared stiff. I'm pretty sure I'd rather do anything else... except maybe work at Mutzy's for the rest of my life. Though, right now, the idea of having to enter that cafeteria twice every day for the next 4 years (even when I just look at it 4 months at a time, like my mom keeps telling me to) is quite possibly worse than working at Mutzy's till I die. I'm not social. I don't want to be social. I wanted to schedule my classes to avoid the noon lunchtime. Just my luck. Freshman have basically no control over their schedules. Even being in the honors doesn't help me so much there. Not only am I stuck with morning classes, I'm stuck with a noon lunch-hour. I'm not going to do it the first few weeks. I don't think I can. I barely survived at orientation, and that can't possibly be as bad the normal noon-lunch.
No, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life. It's time I moved on. But why do I have to go alone? Why can't I have any friends with any ambition? That's not fair, I know. Dan and Sarah H. are going to HACC, but that's here. And Marsia's going to Ithaca. She's certainly got ambition. Unfortunately, Ithaca isn't Bloomsburg. It's nowhere near Bloomsburg. Naomi's not going to school till next year. She's going to a Christian school anyway. So, here we are. Back at the beginning. I'm going to college completely alone. And basically defenseless. It's been so long since I've been in school. (HACC doesn't count. It's not based on social connections.) I don't even know what high school is like. Is it anything like elementary school was? It must be worse, cause elementary wasn't that bad. College isn't supposed to be like high school. But why would it be any different. One summer can't change people that much. Maybe because it's an all new set of people... but they're all coming from the same situation. Except me -- I'm coming from nowhere. I'm socially inept. I don't understand things that I should. I live in a different world than my soon-to-be peers.
44 days till the end of my world.
Help.

All I Wanna Do
The story of a closely-knit group of friends at a traditional New England all-girls boarding school in 1963, who recognize their own value and potential when their all-female sanctuary becomes threatened by the specter of men.

"She'll tell our future. Don't believe her."
I'm starting to feel a little better about this whole college thing. It still makes me want to cry oceans, though. I'm just so afraid. Why don't people understand that? Is everyone else really that excited? Am I the only person who's terrified?
I feel so far away. I just want to curl up in my closet and stay there for a couple years. It feels like there's this big cloud of doom hovering overhead. In 56 days lightning will explode from it and shatter my world into a billion pieces. I'll wake up in a strange new world where people drink excessively and do all sorts of strange things that I don't particularly want to think about. Do I really have to wake up that day?

schedule change, work sucks, and the end of the world
I hate work. It sucks. There really isn't a reason it sucks, it just does. Well, the customers who look like they haven't washed their hands in 3 months are probably the biggest reason it sucks. Though, having to stand in front of my register staring at nothing is pretty sucky, too.
So, believe it or not, I'm actually started to get a little bit excited about college. It will probably go away soon.
I've been going through my CDs, trying to decide which ones to take with me. I have a lot of CDs. It's kinda crazy how many CDs I have. I got my first CD 7 years ago. Now I have more than 100... probably closer to 150.
I hate that I'll have to start all over. I've worked so hard to get the few friends that I have... OK, that's not true. They were kinda just there. But, I hate meeting new people. It's just cruel. Why can't somebody come with me? Anyone? *sigh*

June 24-30, 2007

Thursday (28): work 4 - 9 PM
Friday (29): work 3 - 9 PM

Well... That's it.
I seriously don't get that Wendy's commercial with all the people kicking the trees. It kinda creeps me out.

62 days
They scheduled me for Psych 101, so I need to get that fixed.
My schedule is as follows (excluding Psych 101, cause that needs to be replaced):
Comp 1 MWF 11:00 - 11:50 AM
Mass Communications and the Popular Arts TR 9:30 - 10:45 AM
Basic Statistics MWF 9:00 - 9:50 AM
Intro to Astronomy T 6:00 - 8:50 PM
Yeah. Astronomy seemed pretty random to me, too. It fulfills a gen ed science requirement, though. I hope it doesn't totally suck. It's at night, so maybe we'll actually get to look at stars. That'd be pretty cool. The 3 hour lecture, though... that won't be cool. I have a hard enough time concentrating for 1 hour. I don't know how I'll manage 3. I'll have to doodle a lot.
I only have 1 class on Thursday (R). It's a relatively short class, too. That's frustrating. I'll have too much spare time on Thursdays. Hopefully the choir will meet that day or something.
I have orientation on Wednesday.
Can you believe I'm going to college in 62 days? I thought I'd never get there. Of course, now I'm absolutely terrified. I'm excited, though, too... a little.
I should get my housing info on Wednesday. That'll be exciting.
