Finally feeling like myself

Monday, October, 13, 2008

Since I started school in the fall I have not been feeling like myself. I lost that bubbly, happy high school girl I once was and found a solemn soul to take her place.

 

I finally got her back! I’m back and I’m here to stay. Goodbye moody mondays, so long terrible tuesdays, no more bad days for me. And you know what turned everything around. I changed rooms. My roomate turned COMPLETELY psychotic on me. I won’t go into the details but it was pretty bad. Even though it was a horrible mess I’m actually thankful it happened because it changed everything. I love my new roomate, and I’ve met so many new friends in just the few short days I’ve moved. It finally feels like i’m in college. I feel motivated to do well in my classes, and I smile at people passing by for no particular reason. It’s so good to feel like my old self again.

 

So I had a  choir concert on Thursday night and it was CRAZY. We did this thing called Video Games Live with the alabama symphony at the BJCC concert hall. What this entails is taking video game music and having a choir and the symphony play the music to it. But that’s not all, it’s also a light show and a movie screen plays the video games AND people come onstage and play the games. The crowd was INSANE I think they thought they were at a rock concert. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever.

 

On Tuesday I went to a Hanson concert. That’s right. Be Jealous. The Veronicas were also there and I was lucky enough to get my picture with them, and that was pretty sweet.

 

happy happy happy.

 

The only thing left is to find me a job. I’m having a surprising amount of trouble getting one. It’s either the hours aren’t right or I don’t have enough experience. I wish somebody would give me a chance. How am I supposed to gain experience if no one will hire me? Frustrating. But not frustrating enough to bring me off of the happy high.

I'm so glad you're happy

I'm so glad you're happy again! I've been reminded lately, that the company one keeps can certainly affect your moods; whether it's obvious or not. Even in my "old age," I have to be reminded of things like that CONSTANTLY. So, a toast to you for kicking TOXIC PEOPLE out of your life! xoxo

Sorry about the roommate
Posted Tue, 10/14/2008 - 17:48
Sorry about the roommate situation. I had a terrible experience with my first roommate- the one that was randomly assigned to me. I am not one to judge, but her family was some ultra-conservative fundamental religion, and on move-in day, when I stuck out my hand to introduce herself to my roommate's mother, she stuck a trial-size box of tampons in it, (we got free bags of trial size stuff from Proctor and Gamble like detergent, deodorant, etc), and said, "Here. Take these. They're against our religion." I should have known then that it would be a problem. A week later, I bought a rug and my roommate cried and had to go home (2 hours away). There was a limit on moves- you had to live with your first roommate for 2 weeks before the resident director would let you move. I moved out on day 14. That girl was just nuts- she went through 4 more roommates that year and didn't come back after freshman year. Very weird. Second roommate was much better until she stopped taking her medication in the spring. I decided from that point on that I wanted a single room. My parents wouldn't pay the extra $1700 per year to have one (and I don't blame them), so I applied to be an RA and got it. One of the perks was a free single room. I was an RA all through college and it was so worth it. I highly suggest this, unless you're like my sister, who became best friends with her first roommate and is still close to her.
