"incestuous" relationships
So this whole being alone at school thing is not so great as I thought. Well, I never really thought it would be GREAT, but I didn't think it would suck quite as much as it is currently. It is not uncommon for me to go a whole day, minus class discussion or answering professors, without saying a word. To anyone. Its a little better than the first week. There this guy Davy, from Gabon, Africa who's in two of my classes, one on each day, so we'll say hi. And thats pretty much it. I walk to classes alone, I eat alone, and I drive to and from school, for 45 minutes each way . . . alone.

Goddd.

However, theres a January term course that is basically going to the Gulf Coast and helping. But its a Religious Studies course, so I want to go talk to the prof to see exactly what sort of help it is. I'm pretty sure it'll be mostly humanitarian type efforts, and honestly, I'd probably go even if it involved churchy type stuff.

That doesn't change anything about being alone, but it makes my plans to go down there as a Jan Term easier. I don't have to make it an independent study thing anymore.

I have a quiz in Calculus today. I should totally be fucking studying.

Yesterday was my 21st bday. It was lots of fun. I got an iPod Shuffle and lots of gift cards and some money. This will all come in handy.

NOTE TO SELF: You HAVE to pay those bills online as soon as you get home. Or die.

Arg, why am I so bad at making new friends? I'm such an anti-social jerk.

Oh happy birthday, I hope it was a good one.
I know kinda what you mean, I don't know anyone in any of my classes, and I do all my stuff alone and junk. I'm sure it will get better towards the end of the term for ya. It takes me something like 2 hours each way to get to and from school. My classes are kinda too short to meet anyone I think. Plus there's no necesity, there is nothing that forces interaction. I bet things will get alot better once I actually take cullinary classes.

Awwww. Join a small organization of something you're interested in. Do some good deeds. Or just try saying more than hi to people.
Introduce yourself, ask their major & where they're from, usually you can get a substancial convo out of that. then voila! new friend

know I'm quite dissapointed, you're a theater geek, you should have no problem walking up to someone and starting a random conversation.

For shame...

sometimes I honestly wish I could stay antisocial w/ the occasional nice-polite hi here and there.

At least you're naturally quiet, usally professors will either "know" me from the first day of class onward and always call on me for opinions to questions, or some person will just start talking with me and stupid me I talk back so every time in class this person wishes to speak (usually when I don't want to) or I'll crack jokes all throughout class, become somewhat known and I smack myself for not keeping quiet and getting things done.

But I really don't like eating alone though... that sucks. Gimme a call if u need someone to waste time w/ inbetween classes.
