Schtuff
I haven't written in how long now?
Whoops.
So, school has been going good, i mean for the most part. Two things: My Zen Buddhism and Japanese Culture class royally sucks. Its taught by a Chinese Buddhist monk...and before you say "oh cool" realize that a) this is her first year attempting to teach it and b) she doesn't have a complete handle on english yet. Notice i used the word "attempting." This class is so frustrating and now I've just found out that on the same day I have a group presentation due, a group presentation that we were told was going to count as our first 'essay/project', I ALSO have an essay. Am I going to have to write with little kid words so she even understands it? That was a low blow but seriously, I'M LEARNING NOTHING and that's whats pissing me off. I'm considering writing an email to the head of the religious department. Everyone in my class is frustrated...perhaps we can make some sort of changes here.
The second things is a dealie I've been having with a friend, let's see if it turns up. I spent the first 3 weeks of school frustrated and confused and ready to just bail on the idea of having any sort of close relationship with anyone. Too painful. But now I'm back into it and thus I am scared. Because even though we've talked things out and things are looking up, there's very little keeping me from ending up down and out just like a couple days ago. Am I stuck in a never ending cycle? Are all close relationships this hard? Or is it me?
I miss Bristol alot, which is funny because how many people all throughout high school wanted nothing more than to bail out? Not me though, I've always loved my home. There hasn't been a lot of rain here for a while so the fall colors (that are coming in early btw! Septemeber Minnesota? Really?) are sort of blunted. This makes me miss home. It also irks me to no end that I look out across the valley that my school kind of overlooks and there is nothing behind it. Nothing. It just stops and there is sky. On a high point back home, like at Bristol Central, I can see miles away. I can see into Farmington from the complete other side of Bristol. Hills behind hills behind hills. Yeah, i know im glorifying it because I miss it.
Meh.
aggravatedWhoops.
