SO i have one class at 9am toaday, and every tuesady and thurday. (And nine am sucks majorly by the way. Tori how do you make it to your early classes?). SO not only is nine am an ungodly hour for one who has grown accostomed to going to bed at 2am, but it leaves one with hours apon hours to sit in their dorm room and be bored. I am SO bored. No one ever told me it was suppose to be like this. There are no interesting activities, none anyway until the evening. So what, you might ask, is one to do with that endless stretch of time?
All of the following:
Eat: meals become a main event. Its something one can do three times a day, and stay talking to people for a long period, wasting time wandering the UC, checking mail for the bazillionth time, etc..
Sleep: But this doesn't happen with me very often, once i'm up, i'm up.
Reading/ Homework: lets be honest. I don't usually finish my homework until the night or morning before class. I'll start it, but its hard to focus for that long.
Checking/ Writing email: This i do at least once a day. I write, read, blog, etc.
Listening to music while staring at my dorm room walls
Staring at my dorm room walls and contemplating how these many hours could be put to better use. Thats about forty hours a week i could be with my family or friends or out saving the world.
Going around visiting people : This only works if they are in their rooms and not doing homework.
Sitting outside and letting my mind drift.
Taking a walk.
Developing a new energy source, something that would be able to run on our cafeteria food maybe..
If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Until then, I'll be here, probably doing one of the following. Later tonight I have a call back audition for the Clark Bars, the accapella group here on campus. I really would love to make it. I want to sing. Its the only bond i have here, something that will soothe my soul, make me happy, and give me something to identify with here. I'm sort of lost not being a chorus person. From what I've heard from my other chorus friends, they are having the same problem. Its strange trying to reintegrate into society and have that part of ourselves missing.
ANyway, wish me luck. I hope all is going well. Peter, let me know how the film project turns out.
