Today is not a good day.

I don't care if it is the weekend. I'm not talking to Ari anymore, because he and his brothers are just annoying the crap out of me. They want me to go out every night. Not just on the weekends, but literally every night. They just don't understand that I have classes. I have classes and I'm actually struggling in them because it's not high school and things are actually hard. Juggling the sorority and the homework isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Oh, and that scholarship that I'm riding on? It's as good as gone if I can't keep up my grades.

That would be so much easier if I was actually in all of the classes I wanted to be. The Chem class I wanted to get into was full, so I've had to practically e-mail stalk the prof, begging to be in his class, or for him to tell me when there's an opening.

I don't see Stacy and Hayley much anymore, and Ari just won't leave me the hell alone. And I went to my library volunteer job today and kept tripping over my words while reading to the kids. I'm just a big stress ball and the semester just started on Wednesday.

Why didn't anybody tell me that college was going to suck sometimes?

	College sucks ~~most the time~~ sometimes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh thanks. Thank you for your perfectly timed insight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Look, college sucks most the time. You're expected to be an adult while surrounded by situations that are a lot more fun than reading or writing a paper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-17 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	Well I'm not dealing with those expectations well, I guess. I have always done well in school. This just frustrates me to no end. The fun parts of being an adult are being overshadowed by the sucky parts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-18 07:28 am UTC (link)
	They don't have to be overshadowed by the sucky parts. And who says that just because you're in college you have to always be an adult? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're talking at me like you think I'm doing something wrong. I'm just trying to survive here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry, that's not what I'm meaning to do. How're you with paint? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-19 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Paint? What are you talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-19 07:07 am UTC (link)
	I'm talking about paint. the stuff with color in it, you use brushes to put it on walls or canvas. Paint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-19 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not an idiot. I know what paint is. But why are you asking after my potential mad paint skills? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-19 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Because I have a room that needs painting, and some help picking colors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-20 02:22 am UTC (link)
	I'm pretty decent with picking out colors, but I don't know about how mad my painting skills are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a big canvas, I'm sure you can't miss it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not the canvas I'm worried about. It's your carpet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tarp. An amazing invention for just that purpose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can find a way. I'm just that awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you just trying to tell me you don't want to help me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-20 05:29 am UTC (link)
	Well actually, you never really asked me to help you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-20 05:30 am UTC (link)
	No, because you've been all 'PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINT WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINT!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-20 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Screw you, pretty boy. I haven't been in the mood to deal with jerks tonight, if you couldn't tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-20 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Look. I was just trying to be nice, to get your mind off of school and whatever else is eating at you. Last thing you needed to be was rude. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-20 05:43 am UTC (link)
	You were trying to be nice. They're all trying to be nice. Everybody thinks they're being so dang nice. You're being cheeky and a smart-ass. Painting sounds like fun, but I'm really not in the mood to joke around. I don't mean to be rude. I'm sorry if I'm taking that mood out on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	builtwithbricks 2010-01-20 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Cheeky and smart-ass is who I am, if you didn't want to deal with it you didn't have to talk to me, right? Regardless of your mood I still have to paint my new room and I'm still going to Home Depot. There's an extra seat in my car. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-20 05:52 am UTC (link)
	I'll go. Mostly because I can't stand the sight of my room any more. April's gone off to wherever, so it's too quiet and my books aren't doing a good job of making sense or reassuring me that I'll be doing any better by next class time. Come pick me up. If you turn all jerk on me, I reserve the right to punch you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you have believed me? You were so happy and excited. I'm sorry college sucks right now. We should study together sometime... if I wouldn't distract you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gwendy_lightful 2010-01-17 08:03 am UTC (link)
	No, you're right. I probably wouldn't have believed you. I just don't get it. The first semester was okay, and I handled classes and other social stuff without too much trouble. Why does it have to be so much harder this time around? Maybe we could. Don't worry about distracting me, Mitch. I do enough distracting of myself as it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Spring" semester was always my hardest hurdle as an undergrad. I don't really know why it is. I'm sure the weather doesn't help. What subject(s) do you think you could use the most help in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The weather's not even nice yet! I don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm still getting down off the long time spent on break where I could do whatever I want, and now I'm chained to the desk again writing essays the first weekend back. I haven't even picked a major yet! This is ridiculous.

I never thought I would be awful at math, but I think that's where I'm awful. And I know that if I get into the Chem class that I want, that'll be super hard too.
