Somewhere I belong..

Well today is Wednesday, I suppose that's a good enough place to start. The boyfriend redeemed himself indeed, and is forgiven. After all, we all make mistakes. We ended up going to see Fright Night at the Grand Theatre downtown and it was a pretty awesome movie. After that we found our way to Red Mango, and had ourselves a delicious treat! He surprised me with tickets for him and I to attend the first Husker game together, and I told him he had to buy me a hot dog. I don't really like hot dogs that much though.. so maybe not. He's a great guy, sometimes I don't give him enough credit, but honestly I couldn't ask for anything better. I'm not the perfect girlfriend either, and we like to call each other on our BS so I guess that's better than what a lot of couples have. Like I said he redeemed himself, and is back in my good graces!

So I titled today's entry "Somewhere I belong.." because I feel like such a loner here. I've never really had problems making friends. I'm outgoing, and I like to think I'm approachable and friendly, so why have I barely made any new friends? It's emotionally exhausting. I can't think of much else. The boyfriend keeps great company, but sometimes a girl just needs a girlfriend. I miss my best friend so much, she lives in Omaha so I don't see her that often considering I'm poor and hate paying for gas. Back to the point, I'm lonely. Not in the 'I don't have anyone' way, but more in the 'why doesn't anyone want to be my friend' way. Man, this sounds ridiculously pathetic. I'm not this pathetic, I SWEAR. Maybe I've lost all my confidence, and I don't know how to get it back. As of now that seems like the simplest explanation to all my questions.

On a brighter side I have a Cinema 16 meeting tonight! My first one! I don't know too much about it yet, but I can tell you that it is a club that puts on film festivals and such. Maybe there is where I'll make some friends, but I'm not crossing my fingers. More information on Cinema 16 will come soon I'm sure. Also tonight, my dorm floor is having a game night. I plan on going with my roommate, but who knows if that plan will fall through or not. Even if it doesn't, I wonder what my floor is like.. No one really goes out of their way to talk to each other, so I have no idea who any of these people are. Except for the sorority girls I met during rush week who really didn't make the greatest impression. So we'll see. Jeeze Louise I sound so pessimistic, I'm not usually like this.. Things will be better soon though, I have to believe that, it's all I have.

And I'm still fucking sick. This blows so much. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and my eyes matted shut. Let me tell ya, no fun at all. I've been taking medicine up the wazoo (not literally) and sleeping quite a bit, so why am I not better yet? And when are things going to get better in general? I'm trying to be patient, but all this negative energy can really wear a girls spirit down.. Hopefully my next post is a little more positive and happy. For now this is my life, like it or not.

Carpe Diem!

Just another moody Monday...

College is seriously kicking my ass. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've been sick since I arrived on the UNL campus on the 15th and I still do not feel great, as in there's snot running from my nose as I type this sentence. Classes aren't kicking my ass just yet, but I'm sure that's just a matter of time. And my social life? Well it fucking sucks. I feel like when you move to a new place and enroll in a university you're suppose to be rolling in new friends, and new adventures.. Why is that not happening for me? I feel very inadequate compared to most girls on campus, and I haven't really made any new friends.. I've been here for over 2 weeks and the only people I really hang out with are my boyfriend (who I'm currently very irritated with) and a friend who lives here who I went to high school with.

I also recently officially realized that I have lost my best friend. She has new friends, and a new life, and I'm just stuck in neutral. Back to the boyfriend, yes I have one that I love very much, but boy is he pushing my buttons. Today is our anniversary and last night he stayed up till 5 doing who knows what with his friends knowing he had class at 9:30.. Who does that? So I texted him this morning and he has not texted me back, it is now 9:51 so I'm assuming he is skipping class, which is something he would not be happy about if it was me. I expect flowers (kidding, but seriously). I also really miss my mom and my younger siblings. I'm not sure when I'll see them next, but you can bet when I do they will be receiving bear hugs.

I have two classes today and they don't even start until 12:30, so why did I wake up at 8:30? Yeah, I don't know either. I would get in the shower and get on with my day, but the cleaning lady is in there from 9 to 10:30. So basically I'm stuck here complaining about my new (boring) life, on my new (probably boring) blog. Hopefully things turn around soon, I would like to blog about something pleasant soon, I am generally a very happy-go-lucky person. This probably isn't a great first impression, but we've all got to believe things (and blogs) will get better.

Carpe Diem!
