CollegeIt's been pretty awesome so far. I've been here over a month, and it very much feels like home. I have so many great friends (not to mention AWESOME roommates), and despite all the work that I'm currently putting off, things are generally going well. I feel so much more in my element here than I ever did in high school.
Marching band is probably a large part of the reason I'm enjoying things so much. I know I had it in high school too, but MHS band doesn't even compare to UDMB and Blue Thunder. The band folks were my first friends here in Delaware, and they are the best ones I've met. No matter how miserable things can get, like standing in the rain for three hours, I enjoy band and the people in it. It's great being in a place where drama extends about as far as someone drinking a bottle of water in front of you when you're really thirsty (this one goes out to you, Greg) and some of the most important things are remembering your helmet and sack of clues (which I seem to forget alot...). I guess what I'm really trying to say is band is something I think everyone should have, and it's made my life amazing, and it's only been a little over a month.
I've been kind of gliding through classes, and I think I need to really buckle down and focus in the information. I mean, it's largely stuff I've heard before, but I feel like I've been letting my work get away from me, because there haven't been any serious assessments. But I'm changing that. I need to get on top of things, and that's how it's gonna be.
I am pretty crazy about a boy (surprise!), but he will never know. I'm trying to play everything off as if I'm gayer than vampire Willow (don't be surprised if you don't get the reference, it's from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I refuse to have drama now, no matter who I feel like jumping. The end. And if you're one of the three people that knows what I'm on about, DON'T. SAY. A. WORD. Or I will find you and kill you. Yes, YOU.
All in all, I'm thrilled to be here, I love UD, I love my friends, and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

You're lucky you have no drama there. It took me a while to ditch the dramatic people on my campus, but now that it's senior year drama is pretty much non-existant.
I never had band camp, but I always had the artsy people. I think it's not so much a matter of what niche you're in, it's just that you need to find a niche that's right for you. Music, art, theater, chess club...whatever it is.
And buckling down freshman year...well. As long as you can get an A while daydreaming through class, go ahead. College is important, but at the same time, so is happiness.
Good to hear college is treating you well dear! I miss you!!!

I do miss Montgomery, or at least some people in it.
College is a ton of fun, except that I spend wayyy too many hours in the Sun lab programming. MATLAB = the spawn of Satan.
