I haven't been updating very much because I feel like everything I say sounds dumb or pretentious or just plain pointless--when will I outgrow blogging? But I know that people must read this sometimes, because I've had people ask me about things I've written--specifically, my rant over the summer about how UChicago sucks and how I wanted to transfer.
To clarify, that post was meant to say, these crazy ideas have been going around in my head for a while, but spending a day with Salisbury during O-Week reminded me that there are definitely good things about this school. I was frustrated and reluctant to admit that, but it's what I really meant to write.
Now that I am back, I am happy to say that those feelings have solidified, and I'm not going anywhere. People in the house are awesome--really really awesome, like family sometimes. And I'm more involved with some things, and actually busy with schoolwork. I tend to procrastinate as always, but I'm working on that (when I'm not blogging, that is), and trying to plan my life.
I'd like to say I've been happy--for the most part, I really have been. The past couple weeks have been a little rough and overly dramatic and stressful, but such is life when midterms and episodes of freaking out have their way with you. Overall though, it's looking up, it'll work itself out. Like the Explosions in the Sky album, "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place."
That is, not until the Chicago winter sucks the life out of everything.
(Bitterness and negativity are not the same as unhappiness, i.e. I didn't just contradict myself entirely :)
