Forever and a Day

Three weeks into college, and it alternately feels like forever and no time at all. Honestly, what with age-related time distortion and a less-than-stellar sense of reality, I'm going to be living in permanent fast-forward for the next four years.

Of course, this doesn't excuse my lack of postage (I don't even have stamps!), but I'm settling in nicely. College is certainly a change in pace. I spend about the same amount of time lounging around in the common room, but solitude is sorely lacking (both an good and bad thing).

So far, I have:

• Played Poker Face nearly 20 times a day
• Stayed up until 7:30 AM doing Computer Science problems
• Become stressed out
  
• laughed uproariously with roommates
• had a miniature party in suite, with I'm on a Boat blaring out of my speakers
• jumped in puddles with new rain boots
• learned how to text
• tried (and failed) to organize my life
• drilled holes in the wall
• grown chives
• become dehydrated (or was that low blood sugar in the morning?)
• done nothing for an entire day
  
• talked to old friends every day of the week
• IMed my brother more than I ever have at home
• Fallen asleep on the futon
• taken apart my computer
• assembled Ikea furniture
• ....and a host of other things.

All and all, I'd say it's a pretty good experience so far. More reports to come when I get some sleep in my system.
