I went to the "2nd Look Fair" today, representing Eco, Entropy (the newspaper), Maryland Action Coalition (MAC), and tons of other things... We were a bit unprepared, especially when I first got there, so when I saw a lady there from my Econ class, and she wanted to get more info on ECO, she asked "Do you have a sign up sheet? Oh wait, you don't even have a sign!"

We had two feet of snow here in Maryland, which shut down the entire state. ::evil grin/evil chortle:: I've had 9 out of the last 10 days off of school. I was so incredibly productive with that time, too. You know it. Oh yeah. Got a lot of stuff done. Yup. Alright, so I didn't actually do too much. I got all my homework done that I had to do, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Mary's coming Thursday! I'm so ready... ;)

Last semester was rough because it messed up my method of friend operation... I have historically jumped around to different groups, but last semester I didn't have different groups to jump to, so I just stagnated. This semester has been better. I still have the North Hill friends that I really get along with, Sam and Inna and Mark and Carl and Beck and Lindsey, but I also have the option of staying here in the apartment or going to chill with the activists... Things are a lot more diverse. (Not to mention the fact that I'm slowing down my expansion and getting to know fewer people better instead of more people less... that helps).

Nonetheless, there are also some comments this semester. Especially coming from the Midwest, people here still feel reserved to me. I sometimes feel a limit that chokes real growth; they're close up to a point, they're workable and friendly and kind and interesting, but after I get to know them a little bit I run into a big giant wall that just keeps me from knowing them better. I feel like they sometimes don't acknowledge me; they don't really give me a chance. On special occasions (both in the last two days) I can get through; I had a good chat with Hark last night, and I talked briefly to Allison about how all the activists are so stressed out and how we perceived them and such. When I can get people one-on-one I can go back to my knowing ways, where I can actually have good conversations.

In general, things are good. Sometimes I get lonely, but there's always Mary keeping me up, and on a working level I'm feeling pretty happy. My day-to-day life is good, so everything's groovy. Yep.
