Part I: The eye of the storm
Well, after the flurry of events that have transpired in the last er... week...(oh god, i've lost track of all concept of time), I finally have a moment to recollect some thoughts... I had wanted to blog for the past week or so, but I was just up til all hours of the morning doing random shite that needed doing... Just getting things ready for school, and writing job applications (crikeys! already, I know). And now, here I am just sitting back, just chattin it up online, and chowing down random articles of foodstuffs....spheres o' chocolate, jerkys o'beouf, and other such goodies... Anyways, I'm slowly getting settled in, and slowly getting used monotonous ebb and flow of university life... just getting into an almost instinctual routine... well, once i'm awake anyways... i haven't had TOO much trouble doing that, but i always have to rush to class since I only drag my groggy carcass out of my bed 15 minutes before class... And staying up those late nites... i think i'm doomed... either from sleep deprivation, or from just my brain having no cells capable to any sort of activity. Whichever comes first I suppose. Speaking of which, I should talk about the recent events that have happened. *DUN DUN DUN* (dramatic noise for cheesy overdramatic effect). Overdramatic, simply because nothin has really happened. Well not nothing... I was reunited with my love, Katie (yes yes, mushymushy indeed, but if u don't like it, you can suck an egg!) and so that was just a happy time, just spending quelque temps with her. And then since I didn't do jack-all back in Vancouver with my RA stuff, I have been spending the last while just trying to catch up... I've managed to finish a crossword of all my student's names... i'll see how that turns out... supposedly some people were trying to do it. Somehow though I feel bad, as I have yet to meet some of the new students in my section. And as much as I try not to let it happen, simple obstacles such as doors and distance are sufficent in preventing me from reaching out to people. i dunno, i think that i'm slowly become jaded, in terms of relationships. Like when I was younger, I believed that one should always try to make new friends, cuz that's what a nice thing to do is. But I've realized that mostly since I've become an RA, it is something that you just cannot do. So much effort is required in the creation of that invisible bond known as friendship. And over the course of the past while, I've also realized the effort required to maintain friendship. Of course there are those friends who will stay by your side in your heart, even if you don't see them for the longest time, and if you have those, mad props to you! And oh, show them how much you care for them by giving them a hug! But there are many others, where you slowly fade out of their memories, and it always pains me to an extent, if I have connected with them on a deeper level then a passing remark, to see me slowly fall out their lives. But is that any better than a person who has been in my life all my life, and yet we fail to connect on any level whatsover? Everyone has their own personal treasure trove within themselves, and its lies beneath the surface, and we all need to dig a little deeper to find it. But in the same, way, one person's garbage is another's gold. And vice versa. So I guess we just all have to discover what we want, and look for it in our fellow people. Stop being so lazy, and make an effort to connect with someone. Anybody, really, because friends sometimes appear in the unlikeliest of places, and appear witin the unlikeliest of people.
