| Negative School Year |
| 08.23.04 (12:24 pm) [edit] |
I'm now back in my dorm, same dorm as before. Felt sort of strange waking up here.
Checking in yesterday, kinda dumb how they do it. You can only park on 8th street for 1 hour. Yet there is a line out the door to get in the elevator, which is usually full by the time it gets back down to the
My dad told me if I was to go out, to be back before it got dark. It was dark by the time I left. I went to Mal-Wart (which I wish was a Super one so that I only had to make one stop) then I went to Safeway. I've never really been seriously shopping at 11:00 at night before. I learned something then; shopping at night is not as ideal as it seems. Half the aisles (or isles?) had big plastic-wrapped packages in the middle of them blocking the way, waiting to be unpacked in the morning, and a lot of stuff was out of stock. Plus there was only one line open and a lot of people in it. Spent a lot of money last night. But usually when I go to the grocery store, I don't completely restock everything; I don't usually buy an obligatory case of water, or 3 pints of milk because the 1/2 gallons were all out. Had a fun time getting everything back to the room too. I finally found an abandoned shopping cart on campus (with one of those stopped up wheels to discourage people from stealing them...good job, and took the whole thing in the elevator up to my room, dropped it off, and took it back down.
It seemed like no matter what, no one at--
OMG! Someone just walked into my room! Holy crap! Good thing I wasn't naked! Shit! That has never happened to me before! Note to self: Always lock myself in here. I'll get to how this adds to the perpetual negativity.
What the hell was I saying before? Oh yeah, all day at home, no one would talk to me (fine with that). I think they could sense when I was on the phone with Jeremy though. Because always when I would be talking to him, Amandaaaa!!! from my mom, my dad, Mike on behalf of my mom. So frustrating. Meanwhile, I come back to school, and the coverage at this school is such crap I still get interrupted every few minutes.
Stayed in bed till 11:00 today. Didn't mean to do that. But I probably won't have too many chances to do that after Wednesday.
Why when I never use the Internet Explorer browser anymore do I still get pop-ups from Internet Explorer? (Which is the whole reason I stopped using it in the first place).
PeopleSoft is not letting me look at my schedule, which I guess means I have to go to Student Services and ask them to print out my schedule for me. I love going down there and dealing with those people.
I have resolved to almost always have plans on the weekend. Even if it means taking my bike somewhere for a ride. I am going to go back to the gym this year too.
Glad as I am that I am back here, without my parents, with something to do, and a way to work out, I feel as though this school year is bogged down with negativity. I'm not sure why exactly, but I have several theories.
The first is it's so expensive. Parking permits go up between 9-16% every year (depending on if it was $120 when I started or $150. I don't remember). Which is a sham, for one thing. To have to pay money for your car to occupy a space and do nothing is a sham. If that money were actually being used to maintain the parking lot, that would be one thing. But anyone who has been in the garages knows they are not exactly in stellar condition. It would be one thing if they went up 3% a year, in accordance to the 3% inflation rate. But 9-16%?! Something's not right there! Plus all the other expenses, tuition and textbooks rising, forcing everyone to buy their books new because of a new edition, plus extra for the CD Rom no one ever uses. Not to mention all the little things that make this stupid, like how the fire marshall is saying that we can't have anything on the doors this year, or how rather than giving everyone a free internet cable like they always have they made everyone pay $5 for it.
I don't know if I'm just frustrated because I want to be having my life with Jeremy, or I want to be somewhere else, but instead I am here, miserable and alone again.
Or there is the reason I most suspect. I was chatting with my grandma last night. She asked me if I was going to graduate at the end of the year. I responded with "HA!" Just the feeling that it's another stupid semester just like the stupid ones before it and the stupid ones that will proceed it. And that it's just the same ol' shit and it's not going to improve any ever. I just feel like I really want to be done with it all but that won't be happening for a long long time, if ever.
It's late. It feels like it's about 10:00, but it's not! I should go out and do something productive, go to the local friendly neighborhood headshop see if they still have that Robert Plant poster that they had at the end last school year, return the garbage can I bought to replace the recycle box that I know i left in the room before I went home, that was in a spot marked 97 cents and turned out to be $5, return some crappy lightbulbs that look nothing like what I thought I was buying.
Current Mood: meh What's on: Headlong - Queen
PS, I looked at the same travel website that did my Europe tour, on the low end, $1200 for a tour of Europe, $1500 for Hawaii. Damn.
