Ah, I'm done with school for the week. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning to go to Wheatland with Rueben and his family. I'm not sure exactly how that's all going to be.
I'm doing my laundry right now, a much needed task, since I haven't done in the two weeks since I've been here.

I hate receiveable accounting. They are stupid. They are mean. I hate them.
They suck.
They are stupid, stupid, stupid.
:(
They charged me for not paying my tuition, which, I did, on Friday.
They suck.

I just realized that I've had my journal here for four and a half years. That's crazy. I grew up here, with woohu. I could never thank Gunny enough for giving me this journal, as I'm sure many of you feel the same.
From eighth grade to Central, I've changed so much, just as the rest of us have.
I just thought I'd take a moment to reflect on that, since so much has happened these past four and half years that make me really amazed that I can go back and remember who and how I use to be.
I'm glad I'm here with all of you. I'm glad I'm still here, and you're here, and we all still can stay caught up.
Thank you Gunny!

I want to know everything in the entire world.
I want to meet everyone in the entire world.
Most of all, I want to feel everything I am able to feel.
Step out of the darkness,
And into the light.
The brightness may blind you,
But the chance is worthwhile.

So, last night my roommates came home drunk, again. They opened the fridge and all of their beers crashed on the floor, making a loud noise. Then the RA's came in and looked around, and needless to say, although i wasn't drinking, i got my name taken.
This is my roommates' second offense in a week. They got an illegal drug violation the first night they were here. My other roommate is moving out due to finances, so i figure I'll be living alone here in a couple weeks. You get three violations and you are done at CMU. heh.
Anyway, told the parents so if they got a call they would know what's going on. It's all good. Hopefully. The worst thing that is going to happen is that I'll get a 150 dollar fine, which I'm not going to pay for because I didn't do anything. Whatever.

So pretty much just chillin here in the library for a while. My next class is at three (my biology lecture). I really love this library. It's pretty neat.
When I woke up this morning, there was a guy sleeping on my living room floor. It was one of my roommates friends, but they had already left for class, Hollie and I just locked him in when we left.
Whatever.
The two of them (my two roommates) polished off eight beers last night. I showed them how to open them (they were glass bottles) on the edge of the desk.
I wonder what their livers are going to look like in twenty years.
it's pretty cool, i guess.

We Wear the Mask
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
-Paul Dunbar

Okay, I have all my financial shit figured out. Right now I owe about two hundred dollars-which I can totally deal with. Whew!
Well, I believe I'm going to be in my hall government, so next year i can be a RA and get free room and board.
Lovely.
Michelle
[edit] And I only had to wait for an hour and fourty minutes in line!

Ugh.
i have to figure out all of this financial shit today.
The financial aid office is stupid, stupid, stupid.
They need to actually apply my financial aid to my account so i can take classes. Hmm, that's a new idea right there.
But, I have to go over and talk to them before my english class at noon.
Blah.

Plan B is now available without a prescription.
How did that ever happen with a Republican President? To tell you the truth, I don't care. I'm just glad it's happened.

I just had my first class- computers and society. It's a huge lecture class with about 250 people in it.
I feel so sheltered here sometimes. In the library the book shelves move along a track so they can be squished together or moved, to allow for more books in less space. I just found it so cool, considering the cedar library is about the size of my dorm room. Just little things like that make me feel like I was cheated out of some things growing up in cedar.
I'm getting along a little better with everyone. It is known in the towers that my floor is the party floor. As soon as the elevator doors open you can feel the bass. You can't really hear the bass (it's too loud), but you can defineately feel it. Our RA is cool too. He pretty much told us that he doesn't care what we do, as long as we don't drink in the dorm. A bunch of us were in the hallway Saturday night, defineatly not sober, talking to him. I made a sign and put it on his door that says,
" I want to be the little man who turns the light on and off in the fridge."
I do good work.
Next, I have my English class at noon. I'm actually excited about that, and hopefully everything goes well, considering English is most likely going to be my major.
When I was reading Jane Eyre in the study room yesterday, I met a really nice guy who lives down the hall. There are some cool people here at Central.

So, here at CMU now. Good fun. I'm in the library with Jackie.
I'm going to have to get use to all of this, I'm so tired from all the walking I've done already today.
I miss everyone already!
I have an ensemble audition on Tuesday! Classes start monday. I've gotten all of my books and things like that. It's quite exciting.
More to come, though, not as frequent as i might have hoped: until classes start i have to walk all the way to the library to update. I'm starting to hate moving. :)

I'm leaving for Central tomorrow after my dentist appointment.
We went to IHOP last night, and then to Meijer, and then to the cemetery. Creepy shit.
Summer is over.
No more drunken nights of should be regrets, no more nights getting the shit scared out of us at the cemetery, no more lake parties, no more camping, no more going to work with a hang over.
Well, the last one, maybe...or not.
We'll see. I'm not quite sure what to make of this whole 'college' thing yet.
For some, an institution of higher education, for many others, well, what can I say? It's a party school after all.

This is my last week here for a long time.
I called in sick today for work because, lucky me, I have a bad ass cold.
I'm leaving Thursday sometime. If you want to hang out, or give me kisses, or give me flowers, or give me presents, or write long nonsensical poems, or just want to have general relations with me, give me a ring before then.
Jessie, I know which one you want to do :).
Tomorrow is my last day of work, and fittingly I'm working until the desk closes.
Who knew!
Where are we going? We're going to a party, a birthday party, you're birthday party! Happy birthday darling, we love you
very
very
very
very
much.
Good morning everyone! Have a wonderful day.
