So today when I got up to work, I woke up rather refreshed and satisfied, soemthign that I have not felt since the last day I spent with my friends at Washu. It's rather curious how I look forward to summer for the entire spring semester but when I do get to it (if living at WashU and working is called summer) I want school to start up again.
But truthfully, I think what I wish the most is to have a face to face conversation with my friends. I enjoy texting, I really do, sometimes, actually most times, texting just doesn't cut it. I don't really understand my high school friends' (those still in high school currently) obsession with texting. I was reading chris' blog the other day and he raised a really good point about how a couple years difference between me the college freshman and them the high school students completely defines a barrier in the whole 'texting phenomenon.'
It's funny how a year ago today (give or take a couple months), I had a texting plan of 200 and rarely went over 100. I intensely disliked texting because, frankly, it was my belief that unless you were with them, there really isn't much point in communicating. I mean, the occasional catch-up email is great and all, but my favorite joy is visiting people. Now, however, I have a 1000 text plan and I often go over, to my parents' great dismay. How did this happen?
Everyone knows that I visit people a lot. For some reason all my friends say I know everybody. I guess I do know a lot of people, but it's cause during the school year, if you're given the opportunity to visit people and you have time, why not? Having people to talk to is always great, and I always try and make time for people.
But hopefully my friends will learn that schoolwork takes priority. I know some people may or may not have realized that this year as the school year went on and I became more and more studious (I know right, strange for me at the beginning of the year...) Instead of not studying (like for the first two bio tests) so I could talk to people and hang out, I began concentrating on studying. And because of this I started texting people instead of visiting. And next year will only be even more intense. I know exactly how it'll be, even though i'll deny it if you talk to me. I'll spend the majority of my time studying in the library (which one I don't know) during the day and at Mudd (probably with Kathee cause she's a great study buddy) at night because that's how I am. I mean, you'll see me at KSA, CSA, AMC, and Lambda Sigma Events (lol) and you might catch me at lunch, but other than that, not likely.
I'm not wholy (is that right?) part of the texting community and I only respond to texts, I rarely initiate, so if you ever want to talk to me come to Mudd at night. Or call me to find out wher I am.
Of if you want to hang out weekends are preferable lol.
This was just a big rant about what to expect from me. No real meaning, probably wasted your time but I'm at work and don't really want to go to work yet.
