word(s)

So…is it lame to write on here now that I am a sophisticated college student?  I do not know.  I DO know that some things never change, and when I need a distraction and friend in the face of mountains of homework, there’s no place like the good old blog.

Anyway.  Lot’s to tell you I guess.  I suppose I’ll start by saying that “mountains” is a fucking UNDERstatement.  Good LORD.  I mean, I’m not generally one to get too freaked out over homework–in the past I just did it carelessly as it was collected and called it a day.  But unfortunately for me and for the procrastination habits that I spent years cultivating and perfecting, homework actually matters now. It’s totally weird.

Other than the school part, school has been nice.  My room is a beautiful palace, seriously.  I am living it up here at WCU. Perhaps I’ll put up pictures sometime. (I can’t right now because the beautiful palace looks like a tornado hit it, but once I spruce it up I’ll try to get some snapshotzz).  For now I will describe to you my side of the room, because really, it’s a treat.  Ahem: my bed is in the corner, and has pink sheets (not normal gross bubblegum pink, but the GOOD kind of pink that’s hot and deep and pretty), and my comforter is black with a beautiful branchy white tree growing and twisting from the bottom of the comforter at the foot of the bed up to my pillows.  Next to my bed is a pretty run of the mill nightstand, and my adorable disc chair.  At the foot of my bed is my desk, the surface of which is currently obscured by some random shit, but most of the time it looks pretty okay and scholarly.  And next to my desk is my dresser, upon which sit all my painted wine bottles and also the TV.  On the WALLS on my side of the bed are an assortment of posters:  The Killers, Monet’s ‘Venice Twilight’, an old fashioned perfume ad with a flapper on it that says Doriane, whatever that is, and then obviously a large collection of photos of all the people who I miss so much (some people who I don’t miss managed to sneak on as well).  I also have an amazing bulletin board but it’s too cool for me to describe you just have to see it.

Aaaaand nobody read that, but that for the most part is my side of the room. It’s well-decorated and magnificent.

My nesting skillz are not the only good thing about this room, there’s also my ROOMMATE.  I’m not going to lie, when we picked each other during orientation I was not without some feelings of apprehension and uncertainty.  But she is really pretty great.  I would elaborate, but I feel like I don’t talk that much about friends on here and I don’t really see a reason to start gushing about them now.  But the roommate sitch is definitely close to ideal.

I’ve made some other friends as well, which is pretty positive especially compared to my LAST major transition into school.  Which we all know wasn’t too phenomenal at first.

Speaking of not being phenomenal, this ENTRY.  Phew.  I have really been off my writing groove lately.  And it’s terrible timing because I have like nine writing-intensive courses I’m taking, and also I’m supposed to be creating this masterpiece speech for the speech & debate team which is like, not really going so well.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Well I actually gotta go do something productive, but it was nice talking again even though I just kind of rambled.  Maybe I’ll make up for it sometime soon.
