So far today, I have not only read a ton, but I've had my faith restored in humanity.
* listened to the most fantasticly interesting conversation for hours, while pretending to read. the guy was incredibly smart, he had so much life skill and experience with everything it seemed... he had a billion majors, he was 30, he was a crazy hippie, he read constantly, had so many interesting things to say, and had been to 6 mental hospitals in 6 months. i was enthralled.
* the weather was perfect
* I realized that if people who pretend to be my friends just treat me bad, that they're not worth my time. I know, it's impressive. Easier decided than done... yes. I will not cry.
* I decided that I need to know more. I want to learn, read, expand, be able to talk about anything. Like some person once said, paraphrased, "little minds talk about people, good minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas". I want to be like that guy.
* realized that high school will be shit and that is okay. And to quote that guy, "The shy, sensitive people are chastized in highschool, and in college they’re put on a pedastal." Yes, I wrote a couple things he said down... but most I couldn't, he was going so fast with everything- psychology, religion, science, etc, that I didn't want to miss any... well college should be great.
* I'm hell bent on getting out of SAS. I hate to be blunt, but you can say you'll miss me or whatever, but I really doubt it. I swear. People have left who people say "ohhh im going to miss you" but does anyone really ever give a shit? No. That's okay. I'm down with it. It's like that anywhere.
I'm ready to live. Where do I start?
