So I’ve been thinking, I shouldn’t let this website go to waste. I’ve been putting off blogging for ages, starting sporadically and then stopping again. In fact, I haven’t really blogged seriously in over a year. I’ve always just stopped. I actually do have things to write about, but I just don’t have the drive to write it. So you’ll see my entries being more freeform, just me letting thoughts out as they come to me (like your mother last night, [couldn't resist]). So here goes nothing.
I’m in college now. Yes, that’s right, Louis actually made it to college. I currently go to Binghamton University. If you go here too, contact me and maybe we’ll hang out. Probably not though? See, I’m not holding anything back, just saying exactly what I’m thinking. I just paused for a second, sorry. So right, I’m on the chemical free floor of Mountainview’s Hunter Hall. It’s great here, fantastic view (mountainview… get it?), but the walk up is a bitch. I usually don’t want to walk up and down the hill more than three times per day, so during weekdays I usually go down and stay down unless I have more than an hour between the classes, in which case I will come back up. It’s not too bad just going to the lecture hall since I can cut through Hinman, another community, and the lecture hall is right there, but other buildings can be a bit of a trek. Especially going to the gym. That’s a bitch, because there’s an additional hill down there, and by the time you’re at the gym, you’re pretty much dead. Especially if you’re an unfit nerd like me.
Right now I’m taking Calc I, Intro to Music, Intro to US Politics, and some stupid writing class I don’t really get. I don’t know what it’s supposed to be. Right now we’re writing an essay on our beliefs and starting on how to write cover letters. It’s a well rounded schedule, to try to get done with as many general requirements as soon as possible so later on I can immerse myself in math and comp sci land. Yeah, right now I’d like to be a Math major with a Computer Science minor. It’s not set in stone. Another possibility is a Math major and then go for education and become a high school math teacher. It’s been what I’ve been saying I want to do for a long time, but I’m not so sure I can spend my life doing that sort of thing. I’d rather work for a company like Opera or something. Yeah, that’s right, Opera. One thing that’s always fascinated me was web browser development, and I’d love to be a part of it. Hey, I know me working for Opera is far fetched, but I can dream, right?
I’ve made a bunch of friends at my dorm. First, there are my suitemates: Ryan, Austin (my roommate), Colin, Tejas, and Dean. The way Mountainview works is we have a common room, two bathrooms, and three bedrooms in a suite. There are two people per bedroom, and both bathrooms have showers. Since half of us take showers at night and half in the morning and most of us start classes at different times, there are no shower issues. It’s great. And our common room is huge. Besides my suitemates, there’s our RA, Chris, and many others, like Hillary, Kat, Devon, Lee, Morgan, Mark, John, Sean, and Saad. Then there are people outside our hall, like Andrew, who is a fellow nerd yet has never pirated anything (really), and Scott, who comes from Miami Beach. Really. It’s great being here, meeting so many different people. In fact, I haven’t actually seen the people who came here from high school all that often. It’s strange, you’d think we’d be tighter, but we’re not.
So, that was my brief reintroduction. I might update semi-daily with random things that happen. Or I might not. One thing that will never change is this retarded pointless closing paragraph. Nighty night. It’s 3 and I have a class at 9:40. fun.
