It's homecoming and family weekend here. My parents should get here in about an hour, I think. My dad has been up here every single weekend since I got here. I should probably stop that... I should probably do a weekend all by myself. I don't want to though. People think it's funny that my dad comes up so much- I mean, they do live two and a half hours away. But that's really not much. I mean, my dad drives an hour each way to work every day. He's used to driving. So he comes up, takes me out to eat, we go to wal-mart.... nothing really special, just to get off campus and talk some. This weekend my mom's actually coming up too, which is cool.
I think I'm getting better at socializing.... I went to dinner with other people three days in a row. That is a major record. And I'm getting better at just hanging out. It's not something I'm terribly good at.... I always feel like I should be doing something.... whether I'm alone or with other people. It's just it's easier to do stuff when I'm alone. I'm such a geek. I really have nothing to write about... I'm just kinda killing time. Which is dumb, I shouldn't do that. I mean, these journal entries I think should theoretically be about something. I just don't know what. My mom gave me "Fear of Flying" by Erica Jong last weekend. She said any feminist worthy of the name should have read it. So I said sure, okay. Now I'm half way through it and I can't believe my mom practically ordered me to read a book with that amount of sex in it. I mean, it's not like I haven't read books with a lot of sex in them before... but she's supposed to pretend she doesn't know that. And besides, this could very well have more sex in it than any other book I've ever read. Definitely more heterosexual sex, anyway. It's just so weird to read it knowing that my mom's the one who said I should. It is a good book, though... parts of it. My mom and I really do have different taste in books. She loves mysteries and English novels... I love most anything but. I guess I'm gonna go get dressed and clean up a little before they get here.... I'm sorry for such a pointless entry. |
