The College Experience: Round 2

I’ve been back on campus since Saturday, and I just had two days’ worth of classes. For the most part, it’s been okay. Moving into my dorm room was as quick as it could be, considering how I am with moving, and my place is pretty nice too. I’m not very happy about running up and down a lot of steps (the first floor has an auditorium and classes, so the ceiling for that floor is higher than usual, adding to the steps), but at least it’s good exercise. I haven’t been sleeping properly because I stay up so late cleaning and organizing, but I’ll fix that soon. My friends have already been mistaken for freshmen, which makes me chuckle a bit. I’m surprised no one has mistaken me for a freshman yet, considering how young I look.

Overall, I feel like this year has changed for me. I guess I don’t feel as comfortable as I did last year, just being in college. I’m not sure why. I suppose it’s because some of the people I was hoping not to see are some people I can’t avoid seeing either. It makes me wonder why people say “let’s still be friends” after a break-up. Well, I know why people say it, but to actually force yourself to try to be friends when you’re obviously uncomfortable? Very stupid. I’ve taken the “don’t talk unless spoken to first” route, because I feel like unnecessary talking to people with whom I have very little in common is a stupid action on my part. Awkward silence after saying something can be avoided by just not saying anything to begin with.

I guess another change is that my work situation has become very strange now. I’m slightly regretting taking the job I have right now over the offer at the Technology center, because now that I’m trying to take on two jobs (the current job and a new job at the tech center), it’s proven to become slightly harder to sort it all out. I honestly do want to work with the tech center because that would prove to be more helpful for me in the future than doing office work under the pretense of being a webmaster.

Well, I suppose I’ll just see how the first semester goes and pray that nothing bad happens.
