A Long Rant About How Awesome My Life Is.

I seriously love my school. I could not have picked a more exciting, opportunity-filled place. Despite the workload and the studying and the classes that aren't the best, I am happy here. Every day as I walk around campus I am reminded that I made the right choice to come to UNT.

I love that my indecision about a second minor isn't actually all that big a deal. I love that I'm a sophomore already, that I have so much time to do what I want to do. I love that I can take a Linguistics class or a Philosophy class or an Anthropology class and it won't even mess me up a little bit. And I can still minor in French as well as Management or International Studies or Communications or whatever the hell I feel like minoring in. I love that all I have to do is check my email or look at the walls downstairs and I'll have something to do at any given moment in time, be it having lunch with the Deans of the Honors College or going to a Student Forum to talk about the campus plans.

I'm still figuring out what organizations to join. Theatre is out. I might join photography club, and possibly play a little Quidditch. I could also do fencing, but mostly I want to join a politically active group. I'm a little leery of the Socialist group, as well as the Feminist Majority people. I am half considering starting a chapter of the Global Secular Humanist Movement here on campus, as I've met many, many people who would probably be interested in joining. Or maybe I'll start a Book Exchange Event. At the very least I want to join a literary something-or-other. Either way, I feel like I need to get active in something now. In high school, I didn't really think about my options--theatre was a given. But without that, I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to dedicate my time to. But whatever it is, it'll be friggin awesome.

Also, my roommate moved in (quite suddenly) on Sunday, and turned out to be probably the coolest person ever. Michelle is a sophomore transfer from Abilene Christian University, a Greek, and a Technical Communications major. We both love books and writing and cooking and Mediterranean food. We have a very similar taste in music and movies and pretty much everything. We got gloriously lucky, seeing as how we ended up together purely because both our housing situations were apparently the weirdest on campus.

So all things considered, I am incredibly busy, busier probably than is actually possible to be, and I am incredibly happy to be so. Lucky, lucky me.
