September 26th, 2014. Friday. It's 1 am as I type this. I was about to go take a shower, but my suitemate Victor decided to waltz himself in the bathroom before I could.
I feel like I haven't really mentioned much about my suite, so I'll do that first.
My suite is pretty diverse, just like last year. However with my suitemates last year there was a lot of synergy. We all got along really well and they're all my friends even now that we're all living in different dorms and such. But these new guys are different. Within my suite you can categorize each person as either someone who is never in the suite or someone who never leaves the suite. Victor, Mark and my roommate fit the category of those who are never in the suite. John and Andrew are categorized as those who just never leave. Me and one other guy, Travis, aren't really put into a specific category. And as you could imagine, I happen to get along with Travis the most. He's just an average dude, nothing really special about him. He does have this weird quirk where he chuckles every time he says like 6 words, but it's not really that bad. On the other hand we have John, Travis's roommate. John NEVER leaves. Unless he's getting food. Or class. But honestly I've never seen him leave to go to class before. But I guess I contribute that to I'm generally away from the room when most people's classes are over. But besides that he's just in his room. He's there. All. The. Time. It's kind of sad. But anyway, Travis and John seem to get along, but I guess that's because they both like to talk. John however is pretty eccentric. Leaning towards the not good type of eccentric. He just says the weirdest shit sometimes. And he can be pretty creepy when he passes by the room. I'd give examples but I'm pretty tired and can't think of any right now. But yeah he's a weird dude. But nice. Nice and weird, annoyingly weird, but nice. Makes sense, I know. Now for Andrew and Mark. Andrew is like John. He never leaves. I forgot to mention they both play video games pretty extensively. But thing is John just plays this one airplane game. That's it. Andrew I believe plays a lot of different games, which is better. But he also doesn't leave that much. And he's not as talkative as John. With John and Travis, I can strike up a conversation whenever. But Andrew just says hello to me and that's about it. It's worse with Mark. I don't think I've heard him say more than 3 words at a time. And he's never there. He comes back from class, then goes back out again, either to study or play soccer or something. He plays soccer practically every day, contributing to him never being there. Lastly we have Victor. I generally see my suitemates, even the ones that are never there, at least once a day. I can go days without seeing Victor. He's always gone. Worse than Mark. Victor has a lot of friends, it seems like. When he is here he's never alone. There's always someone in his room when he's here. He lives in a single, but I've seen this random dude that has stayed in his room for like 3 weeks. Don't know who he is. He's just there. I was thinking that he was Victor's boyfriend, but I have no definitive proof of that. So yeah. Victor is an anomaly. But he seems cool from the few times that I've spoken to him,
That was way more than I wanted to say about that but oh well. Anyway onto stuff about me.
I did pretty bad on my Analytical Chemistry exam. I was below the average, which is always something that I strive to beat. I'm waiting for two more exam grades, so I'm hoping that those will help. I did good on my lab report. B+. I'll take that considering it was the very first lab report, and there's room for improvement.
I don't understand Ex 2 and my roommate. They fight. They become friends again. Then they fight. It's this constant battle. Then Ex 2 talks to me, with very obvious sadness. And I try to give her advice. But I'm not a therapist. I'm not doing anything psychology related. I just try my best to help, but I'm not the best person to go to. I wish I could do more.
I had an annoying thought. I think about all the time I spent last year with Lauren. I spent so many hours talking and skyping her over the weekend. Or coming home to see her. Or her coming to Chapel Hill. I realized that all that time could have been spent on hanging out with my friends, or hell even make some new ones. I wasted a huge chunk of my first year on her. Only for her to abandon me. She gets to experience a true first year of college. She can make some new friends, and explore. I never got that opportunity. It's sad. But I'm thankful that I improved relations with the friends that I did make. Hanging out with Jacob. Frequent trips to the dining hall with Tyler and the guys from 214 last year. I got lucky, but it's just a regret that I have.
I saw the girl who lives in the dorm next to me so much this week. Or at least the start of the week. Monday we left our respective dorms at basically the same time. Walked near each other for a good 10 minutes. I didn't say anything. I regret it. A lot. But I hope she walks the same path every MWF so I can see her again. See, I left later than usual that Monday. So I'll leave around that time again and hope to see her.
Besides her, there's a cute girl in my history class. She looks like a freshman. Really short, like 5'1. She doesn't seem receptive to talking at all, but I generally try and sit near her to see what'll happen.
A lot of good things came about this week. And a lot of not so good things. It makes life interesting, but I guess I'm an old man at heart and really like consistency. That time will come some day, but for now I'll revel in the spontaneity that college tends to bring. Have a good day!
