Apparently I had a lot of free time in high school. At 4 or 6pm when I got home, I immediately logged on to the internet (or xbox live). I didn’t have friends around – certainly not in my father’s neighborhood and not really any friends that were ever home and not doing homework in my mum’s neighborhood – so there were few distractions from my percrastination.

Here I live 24/7 with other people. My hallmates are almost all freshmen and we distract eachother with the Office, foreign movies*, board games, foreign tv shows, music, and other college girl adventures. I haven’t had time to be bored let alone log on to the internet for more than a quickie**.

* My custums group – about 13 freshman on my hall (we have mixed grade dorms) – is pretty close. We eat meals together, watch movies, and such. We especially like movies. Particularly foriegn movies for some reason. We’ve seen Chocolat, Ma Vie en Rose (My life in Pink), 8 Women, Across the Universe, and Donnie Darko. Apparently, at an all girls school when you say "do you want to go watch a movie" is synonymous with "let’s hook up", but we haven’t gotten the memo. We just like movies.

** Okay, so I started reading this webcomic Questionable Content http://www.questionablecontent.net that is a black hole sucking time so fast reading 100 strips in an hour is akin to blacking out and waking up with a distinct impression of hilarity but no memory of where the time went. The basis of QC is "indie" rock culture with common side references to music and such but not enough that someone completely indie ignorant such as myself couldn’t cut through the references and bust a kidney laughing. I recommend starting the comic from strip 1 (I know that 1239 strips seems daunting, but believe me you’ll be depressed to learn it’s that short.)  I love starting new strips because you dont have to wait for day by day new comics and you are free to be enveloped by the story without interruption. Srsly. Read it.

So many stories to tell:

*Working in the dining halls

*My italian professor

*CSEM people (girl that kisses people’s foreheads) — "You how in ancient rome they decapitated the barer of bad news? Well I am so grateful to you that I want to give you an extra head." (This happened to my friend. The person who said this was completely serious).

Have to go watch the Presidential Debates!!!!!

Cheers yall.
