yesterday was the on-campus registration for the incoming freshmen. that was a strange moment in the life of me. i just stood there, looking at all these kids who are the same age as my brother, definitely remembering how it felt when i was at pacific registering for my first semester, and feeling very old. don't get me wrong, i do recognize that i am far from old. as far as most seniors go, i am one of the very youngest. one mom and her son walked up to me to ask me a question about housing or something along those lines. i explained as best i could, and then he asked what year i was. i told him i was going into my senior year and his mom just sort of chuckled and said "oh, well you've already got all this figured out. it's like second nature to you. now you just get to ride it out and you're set." but oh my god, i am so not set, and i so do not have it figured out. but so many of those kids looked at me and assumed that i've got it all down, because i'm a senior now. shit, dude, that's weird.
other than that... my roommate is dying. ok, not really, but she is so damn sick that she might as well be. i believe the official diagnosis is severe bronchitis, an extreme sinus infection and mild pneumonia. so the doctor told her she had to take time off of work. normal people would probably be greatful for this, but my roommate works 65+ hours at two jobs, so she's been going a bit crazy the last couple of days not being able to work. i think her medicine is starting to kick in though, and not in the good way, because today all she could do was sleep, which is exactly what she needed. i got home from drill, she woke up, we made pancakes and bacon, watched harry potter, and then decided it was time for bed. now here i am, on my way to sleep and it's not even midnight. that, my friends, is very exciting. tomorrow i shall attempt to finish the unpacking of my room. we shall see...
always.....
