Because of the events this summer--being dumped by Kristin and not being able to hang out with certain people as a result of things connected with that situation--next year at Mercer is going to be a little tough socially. I know I can still count on Lyn and Alice, as they are great friends who have promised not to abandon me, but I still feel the need to hang out with people not so connected with Kristin. Even if none of that crap happened, it was about time for me to expand my horizons anyways. I have a few ideas to help remedy my issue.
Firstly, I'm going to much more involved on campus. I'm going to join several organizations (The Dulcimer, Young Democrats, event planning things, maybe even the school paper) and perhaps start a study group or two (Behavioral Statistics, anyone?). I need to be a little more friendly, too. That shouldn't be too hard since I've discarded a good deal of my pride.
Social issues aren't the only things I need resolved. I think I'm overloading myself and taking on too many hours. My history minor seems pretty unnecessary, and that means I'll be dropping Ancient Eastern History. Sorry, Dr. K. That brings me down to a much more manageable 15 hours.
Because of this drop in scholastic responsibility, there's a good chance I'll try to get a job either on campus or at Starbucks. The manager seemed pretty nice, and being barista trained pretty much gurauntees me a position, but I'd have to have fewer than 20 hours in order to manage my school schedule. That's life, I guess. If not, I'm just going to join more crap that sounds like fun.
I also want to help out in theater. I really miss working with my hands and making things. Some part of me likes the physical labor, and seeing my work onstage gives me a unique sort of pleasure.
For better or for worse, I'm ready for the coming school year.
