I have a new address now. And have for a while. But now I also have new internet to go along with it and so can once again cry, with clear unfaltering voice, my chronicle. Out toward the towering hills, trickling streams, and beyond. Fly, oh fly, my beautiful words. And hit me hard with a wet fish the next time you see me.
The move-in was pretty straightforward, and I have my room arranged in a very pleasant fashion. Despite being smaller than the one at home (smallness=the only incentive to keep tidy), I enjoy the set-up more, and I definitely prefer the white walls to the pink. It evidently took a while to get the internet situation up and running. And I won’t have a working phone line for another week. That was the soonest they could have someone over, and Jaye, for reasons confusing, doesn’t want to save a whole load of money and share the phone line. I spent a long time talking to him trying to understand his reasoning, and I just can’t, unless he is hiding something or a little bit crazy. That was a source of some stress, but other than that he seems to be a nice kid. Ian arrived on Wednesday night with the ping pong table in pieces. Never have I seen a messy stack of junk rearranged so quickly and efficiently. In lightning speed the unfinished basement room positively brimming with junk was transformed into a ping pong playing heaven. It was madcrazycool. Look for the Memorial Invitational Ping Pong Tournament (we kill the winner and name next year’s competition after him/her) coming sometime in the future.
Schoolwise, I’m taking Aesthetics, Creative Writing, Modern European Literature, and The Art of Acting. They all look to be quite interesting and are sufficiently different that I won’t get them confused with each other. Of course next term I have 6 courses with less differences between them to keep straight. But that’s for the future. My Art of Acting professor seems especially really cool, and I only have exams in two of my courses which will be quite awesome come December!
Generally things have been awesome.. I have a pretty light workload this term, so I’ll be balancing it out with some SWHAT and some radio station volunteering and maybe some improv clubbing and hopefully some drama of some sort (I’m not sure how much I want to audition for the Feminist Musical Fall Major this year, my chances with only 3 male parts don’t look to good and I’d likely rather be in something else, maybe something non-feminist for once). There’s lot’s of cool people in and around my house, my room is super cozy, I look forward to attending and doing the reading for all my classes. So life is pretty good.
In the big internet-hole, I took the opportunity to rehaul or at least slightly modify every page on my site. The biggest change is to the paintings on the visuals page which are now actually there! So if you’re interested take a look around, get comfortable but don’t leave your undies lying around.
