I'm sitting in the study room at the end of my hall "doing homework." In reality I'm searching through myspace artists ( http://www.myspace.com/jjalberhaskymusic ) and trying to figure out how to switch facebook back to the old version.
Actually the only reason I'm down here "doing homework" is because everyone else I know is still sleeping off their drunkenness or at gymnastics practice. To be fair everyone I know is all of like 20 people and last night was the first night they all went out and partied. I don't really have too much of an issue with this (I mean I don't have to participate) because I know if I did I'd just isolate them. I do have an issue if a) they are being stupid about it or b) are being cruel about it. Story time: one of the girls, A, here is one of those girls that was once really nerdy and over the past few years has just started to make herself more, for lack of a better word, cool. She's actually really sweet but does have tendency to say things at awkward moments. Everyone going out last night did this whole elaborate scheme to ditch her and so she was left here at the dorms. She was very upset about this and so I invited her to go grab a book and read with me. This of course sounds very dorky and I'd much rather have been like let's make our own party but then what? So we sat around and read our books and then went to bed about 11
I think she appreciated having me to hang with but at the same time I don't really understand how other people are so inconsiderate. This is the biggest culture shock I've had to get used to since leaving the ranch: the amount of disrespect and inconsideration for others. It's this constant gossip about others and self-centeredness that is driving me insane. It's so easy to get sucked up into it and I don't want to.
