Changes are taking the pace I'm going through" - Changes by David Bowie

Now that a few weeks have passed, I am in more of a routine at Purdue, and can set aside a few minutes to take time for myself. The first few weeks are always the worst, and transferring put me back at square one. I totally feel like a freshman sometimes but with an older mentality. As my instructor said today, "So you're kind of a third year freshman?" I guess that is as close to accuracy as I'll get.
One of the things about English Education is they require us to get involved. That sounds easy, but to be honest, I can be and am a loner most of the time. I go about my day, doing my own thing, and make time for homework and nothing else. In order to fulfill this requirement, I joined one serious organization and one that is totally a crock, but I love it. The first one is unimportant and no one cares, but the second is the Society of Gallifreyans. For those whose nerdiness is below par (not that I'm judging), it is a club based on and about Doctor Who. For the first time at this school, I felt right at home, because I was surrounded by people a lot like me.
As the week begins to wind down, I have a lot of time to reflect. Lately, my thoughts are consumed by my friends from Baltimore. I miss them, and will (hopefully someday soonish) see them again. My world is changing once again, but regardless of how it changes, I never forget those who got me here.
I love you!
ReplyDelete1) You will have LOADS of friends, and even if it turns out not to be exactly 'loads'....they will be ones that are TRUE for this time in your life.
ReplyDelete2) Dr Who rocks, therefore one's 'nerdiness' simply cannot be based on the bias of what others think is 'crock'. This fellow nerd is really into alot of like SciFi shows and some are very much based upon what society LACKS: something called MORALS. (And no- that is not morels- the kind that can be eaten. And not mural- which is nonetheless lovely to gaze at up on the walls.) MORAL as is some inner kind of GOODNESS that means we are kind, loving, and thoughtful of others who live in this same world with us, and how our words and actions affect them as well as ourselves. Something that causes us to retreat from whatever behavior that hurts someone else. Ahhhh....but therein lies the killer of the matter (literally). Morals make us CARE. And the sad part is that some folks just DON'T. But WE DO !!! And we LOVE you, girly; blonde, purple or pink- take yer pick....we LOVE you anyway !!!!
