Post-Break 4/21/2003
I used to blame my not writing in here on the craziness of my schedule. My schedule's pretty hectic, but it's more of a problem with procrastination. Usually I leave my apartment at 9 or 10, and don't come back til 7 or 8, throw some dinner in the oven and do my work. I could not watch tv, but when your day is so busy sometimes you just want to lie down on your bed and do nothing.
I just got back from Passover/Easter break. I got back around 5:30, made some dinner and watched "Helen of Troy' on USA...studied biology during the commercials heheh. I'm productive...
Vacation was good...Becca actually stole a piece of derma to bring to me when I got off the bus on Wednesday. (If you eve tasted my Mama's derma, you'd understand why taking a piece is practically punishable by death). Becca and I were just being silly, and singing along to the radio on the ride home. Being home has always been so cathartic...It's like an instant stress reliever. The second I got into the house I was bombarded by hugs be everyone, especially Jake, my youngest brother. He's very much like me, he hates it when a member of the family is away. But anyway, I ate so much food this weekend, it was fantastic. Nothing like home-cooked meals to relieve stress...
The only horrible part of the vacation was that Thursday when I found out that my only option for taking a summer course in organic chemistry was to take it in Binghamton. Because my bosses at my summer job are so inflexible, I don't have the option of taking it at SUNY--Stony Brook, which is ten minutes from my house. They offer their Summer Session I too late into the sumer, whereas Binghamton offers it much earlier. Figures...I'm just starting to deal with my homesickness and now I have to deal with being away from home for an additional six weeks.
My brother John is starting to look at colleges closer to home than Binghamton because apparently, he gets homesick too. He's thinking of going to Rutgers--New Brunswick, which I am thoroughly jealous over. I probably did the most extensive college research out of anyone I know and never thought of going to Rutgers. It's fairly inexpensive, they have a strong biology program, decent art program, and it's two hours from my house. So instead I go to Syracuse, seven hours from my house and limited transportation to getting back to Long Island...Yeah I'm smart...
Binghamton isn't that bad. I adjusted to Binghamton better than I adjusted to Syracuse. That's not really saying much seeing as I spent most of my freshman year miserable and crying in the bathroom, but yeah...you get the point. Sophomore was defintely an experience...which really sucks because I wrote practically no entries during this year. During pledging I simply didn't have time, and after my pledge class and I got out letters, I was having so much fun with them, and with Ivy, that I didn't want to miss out on anything by spending it in my room and typing on my computer. My father once asked me if I was glad that I went away to college. I know I would've been miserable staying at home. I'm not close with my high school friends; I haven't talked to most of them in two years, and I've known the majority of them since junior high. Am I glad I went away? Ask me in two years, when I graduate, I told him. The night before my graduation I plan on reading every single entry I wrote in college. Then I'll decide.
