me
so this is my new blog. I had another one... (see www.xanga.com/julesm08) but I decided to try this place because I think it's better. anyway...
so about me. I'm 19. I go to Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. I am an International Relations major... and I think that's the basics. I'm originally from California and I love it there, though I haven't been home for more than three weeks at a time in over a year. It stinks, I know, but we do what we can, right? I hope someday to make my way back to the Bay Area because it's one of my most favorite places - the weather is almost always perfect.
I guess there's really not that much to say. I always hate the first post because it's like, what's the point? my blog isn't cool yet. and it won't be for a while. p.s. I never really have that much interesting to say. maybe someone can derive benefit from the social drama of a college student, but to be quite honest, I doubt it. most people who do this are probably facing a lot of the same things as me, so why would they want to read about them in someone else's blog?
like... for instance...
school. I mean, that's what I do because I'm a student, and who really cares about what classes I'm taking and all of that... because they have their own classes to worry about.
or dating. I guess there are some dating situations that can be quite comical, but everyone experiences them. I guess that's a bad example.
umm... roommates. there's always drama there. and who wants to know about how so-and-so is so dumb because they won't clean up after themselves, even though you just cleared off the table last night and now you can't even tell. frustrating, I know, but what are you going to do about it? and why would someone care to read about it?
so... I guess my disclaimer is that, while I would like to say that I'm a somewhat interesting person, the reader should not expect too much of me. I'm a mediocre writer, and while I might have a stroke of genius every once in a while, I am not overly entertaining when I write. this blog is for me. and if the reader happens to be bored by the daily happenings of my life... that's too bad for them.
that said, what is going on in my life?
I recently survived my first breakup. yes, I know. my first. it was mutual and we're still friends and to an extent our friendship will be normal someday but at this point it's a little weird. sketchy, if you will. for example, he called me last night to see how I was doing. I felt a little weird about that. we broke up on Monday and yesterday was Wednesday and while I was glad that he still cares about me, it was kind of a weird feeling to talk on a phone with a guy who is no longer my boyfriend but still cares about me (as friends). eventually I hope that feeling will be gone. you know, the feeling where... you don't really know what to say to them because you just broke up but you want to keep the friendship alive... I don't know. whatever. I'm happy though. at least I'm not bawling my eyes out and at least I don't feel bad for breaking up with him because it was mutual. I still really cared about him but I felt like the situation wasn't right. and that might sound a little weird but I guess you had to be in the situation to really understand. so anyway...
also, last night was a social dance lab. I ballroom dance and it's way fun and right now I'm taking a social dance class, so I had to go to this thing. I saw a lot of friends there that I haven't seen for a while and it was really good to see people and find out what they've been up to, how they've been, etc. there was a live band playing the music and it was kind of different. I've never experienced that before. and the decorations were pretty cool. so anyway, it was much nicer than usual but it really didn't make much difference because all I was there for was to dance. it was great though.
