Sophomore Year

I’ve recently thought about blogging a lot. I wrote a few rough drafts and never finished them… So I now I’m thinking that I’m going to just copy and old post and call it a new one.

Thoughts about the floor:

001 a-c) Enjoy the basement next year.

002 a) It will be interesting having us room together… I generally like you, and I believe your job will take you anywhere you want to go in life. I dislike your two second cough-laugh; whenever you didn’t understand something or didn’t hear it completely. I believe that everyone likes you, even those that don’t know you. I believe this is due to people seeing you as a non-threatening younger sibling.
002 b) I think your life will work out. Though the way you react to things often seems childish, I believe that you’ll do well in the things you attempt.

003 a) I think next year, out of everyone, you and I will strongly disagree about things. In part because I see us as the only two willing to publicly disagree with another member of the house.
003 b) Enjoy Mines.
003 c) You’ll probably injure yourself horribly or get expelled for what you do in the residence hall, in either case, enjoy life.

004 a) You were a pretty horrible R.A. Admittedly we didn’t get along very well, but none of that matters anymore. It’s not entirely unlikely that we’ll meet again and it probably won’t matter if we do.

005 a) I often relate to you, without mention of course. The decisions you’ve made I probably would have made in your position. The way you react to things you don’t understand is very similar to the way I used to.
005 b) I occasionally relate to you. You often come across as desperate for attention but there are times were you bite your tongue and I admire you for it. By signing up for America’s next front line your life has gone in an almost unbelievably different direction. It really makes me think about the endings of life, and what we all end up doing.

006 a) I dislike how loud you are and how often that volume is used. I will make it clear to the people living with me that I never want to hear you again.
006 b) Enjoy Mines.

007 a-b) Who?

008 a) Hopefully you are able to pay for your education all the way though. I also hope that you do better in the coming semesters. I like you because I often get the impression that you’re aware of your surroundings and other’s existence. You’re very agreeable and I believe you could lead the group if you wanted to.
008 b) You’ve got the drive to get business done. While I’m not sure that Mines is the place for you, I do believe that you’ll enjoy your job in management.
008 c) Enjoy Mines.

009 a) I think you’ve kinda had a falling out with the floor recently. My guess is that it would have been temporary but with the year ending it doesn’t really matter.
009 b) I believe that you are tired of me as a roommate. I don’t foresee any issues living together next year… It’s hard for me to type why I believe that you’re tired of me.

Well, those were boring and uninspired…

This year has gone well academically for me, first semester I received B’s in NHV and circuits. I predict this semester I’ll get a few B’s because I’m borderline in 5 of my classes. Socially, not terribly much has changed, I do believe that I’m willing to discuss more in a conversation, but equally unlikely to start one. Physically, I’ve improved little, unlike Phillip who I hear is now an expert runner. Emoticon-ally, I believe that I’ve become less caring in general. And perhaps more sad, there are times when I contemplate releasing salt water despite my eyes having adequate moisture. I can’t remember the last time I released such unnecessary fluid from my eye; it has been at least 5 years. But recently I’ve thought of the act and the typically associated emoticons. Narcissistically, I do believe my acne has improved, and I’ve become more tone.

From May 12 to May 30 I’ll be the library barista. I’ll sit behind my cart weekdays from 7:45am to 3:00pm selling coffee. My guess is that I’ll sell very little coffee to a student body that is home for the summer, so I’ll need something else to pass the time. Sounds like a party right? What do people do in libraries?
