Day two of putting off homework. It's due at 8am tomorrow so I really should be getting my act together. I was just thinking about how I didn't really update too terribly much on what my life has been like lately. So I guess things are about to get personal.
Well, I no longer live in the dorms. It's a bit farther from campus than I would like but I live in a very nice three story town-home with three lovely ladies. There's been some house drama but that's to be expected when you put four young girls in a house together. You enter on the second story where there is a living room and kitchen. Upstairs is the laundry room and two bedrooms and downstairs is another two bedrooms. We all have our own bathroom which is pretty fantastic. This is the very first time in my entire life that I've had my very own bedroom. I've always either had to share with my sister or a roommate. I love it! But I do have a tendency to let my room get pretty messy but every so often I get fed up and go on a cleaning spree.
My best friend lives about three blocks away so I get to see her pretty often which is cool. She has the weirdest red-neck roommates and they drive her crazy so I do my best not to complain about my roommate problems since hers are always worse. She also just turned 21 a few days ago so i'm excited for how much more fun our hang outs are going to be ;)
I was neck deep in a christian group on campus for two years but due to a combo of my dislike of socializing and their tendency toward the formation of cliques, we've parted ways at the beginning of my third year. I'm still friendly with all of them especially since one of my roommates is very active in their group still. God and I are taking a bit of a break from each other right now. I'm just trying to figure out what works best for me.
I'm almost done with my G.E. which is exciting! If I don't fail any of my classes (which is a possibility) then I'll be done at the end of this semester. I'm probably going to fail my Pilates class because I never go and I didn't find a group to do the group project with.So that just leaves just figuring out what the fuck to do with my major. I've already changed form animal science. I never got around to officially filling out the paper work to switch to economics but I've been steadily taking the required classes. The thing is, I'm really bad at economics. I'm actually pretty bad at everything so I have absolutely no clue what to do with my life which is straight up frightening. I'm trying not to get super depressed about it but I'm scared.
Oh no! I was going to try to keep this post light and happy. ummmm....
Have any of you been watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries series on youtube?
If you aren't, I highly recommend it. There are currently 98 episodes so you have quite a bit of catching up to do.

I've always been a huge lover of all things Jane Austen but this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is so well done and I'm very hopeful that it brings in a lot of people from this generation to also come to appreciate her work. It makes me really sad when people my age tell me that they just can't get through any of Jane Austen's stories because they are nothing but "talking" and it's too "old". That's the pure beauty of it. That's where the drama is found! Through the crazy events and so much he-said she-said, it boils down to be about miscommunication between people. And that is something that is timeless. I couldn't possibly count all the times there has been miscommunications in my life. All of her stories, but particularly Pride and Prejudice, are so much a reflection on human nature! Written in 1813, this 200 year old book about young people making a mess of the love lives of others and their own is just as applicable to today's youth as it was back then and will be 200 years down the road. We all judge people, we all make mistakes, and we work our way through it all and hope for the best. The folly of young people in and out of love is timeless. So if you do watch and enjoy the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, I also highly recommend reading Pride and Prejudice along with all of Jane Austen's novels. You won't regret it.
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

Okay, that seems like enough time up on my soap box and I really do need to start my homework now.
Good luck, good reading, and good day :)
