Uggghhhh, college

The break this past week was awesome.  However, I'm coming back to school to the welcome of two tough tests this week.  I'm just going to have to power through.  I think I'll be alright.  I doubt either test could really do TOO much damage (because I plan to be prepared for them), but it's still a hassle.  Anyway, hope you had a wonderful break as well (if you are American and enjoyed American Thanksgiving like an American... Yes, several of you didn't celebrate AMERICAN Thanksgiving and are probably super tired of hearing about it from your American friends.  But I love you foreigners; you're all so wise and reasonable.  Thanks for being there.)

I'm still here, and so confused.  But now I finally see how much I stand to lose.

Mah, country music, yeehaw.  Except not.  Because it's a sad, old, slow song.  meeeerrrrrrrrrrr.

I apologize for my spastic rambling.  I'm not usually like this.  I just feel stressed with these two tests.  Well, maybe I'm like this sometimes, but not most of the time.  So... moving along.

One of the tests is a math test on multivariable calculus.  I should feel super prepared for it because I've always been good at math, but I've been slightly challenged learning it all with my professor--who does an excellent job of presenting the material (sarcasm).

I wouldn't feel stressed about the Organic Chemistry test, except I failed the first test and pretty much am forcing myself to get a 100% on this test and the final.  So it's somewhat of a high standard that I set.  But I can do it!  I will do it!

Anyway, Imma go study.

I'm just trying to get through

Lately, I have done my best to be utterly solitary--by being myself and making love to the internet.  facebook, reddit, and the anime/manga scene have kept me company during this semester.  The few people I do see in my life ask my plans for the weekend, and I'm just like, I'm going to sleep.  But then, I never do sleep.  I get behind on schoolwork, and then cram the week of the test.  But I legitimately do nothing productive or worthwhile.

I do have a few things I've learned lately--mostly revolving around manga and anime.  First, I should tell you all what I have done over the past few months.  I have watched through at least three animes

• Cowboy Bebop
• Samurai Champloo
• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

All three of which are incredible.  I have read through a number of mangas.

• I caught back up on Bleach (I was about 100 chapters behind)
• I read all the way through Death Note (about 100 chapters total)
• I finished Bakuman (by the same author as Death Note, read through the last 150 chapters or so out of about 300)
• I started and finished hunterxhunter (340 chapters, on hiatus right now but may pick back up later)
• I got all the way through the 30 or so chapters of No. 6 (cute manga, main characters are two guys that act moderately gay for each other)
• I've stayed caught up on Naruto
• And I tried to restart reading One Piece.  However, I never could accumulate enough interest to read or watch more than one episode or chapter of One Piece
• Tonight, I was going to watch the Neon Genesis 1.0, but my computer was finecky and did not get past about 10 minutes of the 98 minute film
• (Not anime/manga related, but I also watched all three of the Batman movies and Wall-E.)

So, I've been busy doing anti-social nothings, lately.  I've been trying to meet interesting people, but there just aren't that many that are easy to like at first.  Of the people who are easy to like at first, they are concerned with other things.  Ramble ramble ramble introverted Idontlikepeople rant.

And finally, my roommate really likes girls, and he is a bit of an anime snob, which irks me.  Maybe it's just that he doesn't always like the same things I do.  Either way, I don't especially like living with him.  But that's because he smells.  Sometimes, REALLY REALLY bad; like, I have to open the window and flood the room with AC and Old Spice spray just to keep from vomiting.  He also has sleep patterns that can frustrate my own.  He will occasionally take naps during the day but then not sleep at night.  As a rather light sleeper, this saddens me.

Anyway, I don't really know what I'm doing.  This is all a side-effect of having (a) no purpose and (b) a crippling reliance on introversion.  And again, I don't say this for sympathy.  I don't say this for the idea of declaring a problem.  I'm just giving an update.  Some of you have expressed interest in me in the past.  So, my life is slow and easy except in that I'm at a tough college taking a couple slightly challenging classes while trying to adjust to not having friends thrust upon me.
