Well, here I am, trying once again to chronicle my life on teh intarwebs. Hopefully this time I'll be more successful than I was with my livejournal, which basically functioned as a place to whine. This will be . . . er, well, a place to whine, but also a place to write about my life as a college freshman. (Which sounds like a dumb after-school drama. Stupid after-school specials, stealing all my great original phrases for their silly little shows!)

SO! Today the thing I am thinking about the most is how I need to find a different way in which to sit at this desk. It has one of those pull-out second layers, where you can write or do other random stuff. Personally, I've been using it to a) do my precal hw while IMing and b) rest my elbows on as I type at la computadora. But I have recently discovered this is a bad idea, because I think I'm getting bruises on my elbows. Yep, that's right. You think they're called bruises when they're on your elbows? I don't know---in any case, they hurt. Mission of the day: fix this by changing position! (Bruised elbows hurt surprisingly much.)

Other thoughts on today: dammit, I'm being antisocial again. I kind of want to go out and sit in the lounge or something, but ack . . . no. I'm sure everyone thinks I'm a troglodyte for this, especially my roommate's sort-of-not-really-yet-boyfriend-from-across-the-hall, because every time he comes in here, I'm just sitting at my desk, in the same place. He's sure to pass on the word about that creepy curly-haired girl in room 415 who never leaves. Blagh.

Maybe I can muster the social energy to go into the lounge later. *sigh* I miss having friends to do stuff with. This is the part of freshman years I hate: you always have to start right from the beginning. This is, in some ways, a blessing, but also can be really difficult. At the moment it's being really difficult. I just don't feel like doing anything. Maybe I'm just tired.

Oh well, at least I'm going to force myself to go outside today to get my book that is now at Suzzallo's pickup desk. I'll get to see if I want to learn stenography forrealz! I'm excited to see the book! Also, it's grey and rainy outside, which makes me happyyy. Yay rain!
