I really like Snow Patrol.
It is Halloween, and I do not care in the least.
For most of the night, I have been locked in my room (literally…) trying to ignore the yelling and screaming coming from the hall. Is it so bad that I have no desire to be a part of it? I wish more people would just enjoy sitting around, chatting, and sharing a laugh.
I think it’s clear to me that I have no problem with playing a passive role in life. I don’t feel any need to be the center of attention, though I like to know what’s going on around me. My only worry is that I might be letting life pass me by. It scares me that I’m sometimes shocked by the fact that I live here at Tech–and have been for nearly three months now.
I know that I’ve always been slow in meeting people and making friends, and I think that’s okay. It’s important to me to know the character and personality of a person well before I ever become close to them, but that’s exceptionally difficult to do in a school of 14,000. I’m happy with the way I live my life, but I can’t help but feel that some part is missing.
I think it should first be made official here that I am going to take Chinese next semester. The decision was entirely on impulse (like my iPhone), but I am going to stick with it and hope it turns out to be a good one.
