To this day, I cannot recall my thought process. It was probably an early onset of adolescent hormones. When they fully tripped, several years later, my reaction to my sudden, limbic awareness or the swelling chests and coltish limbs around me was largely to think "huh, that's interesting" and to go about my business. Even today, some would argue that the part of my internal engine responsible for such matters has never been shifted out of "park".BECAUSE I REALLY NEEDED ANOTHER PROJECT

CONFESSION
Feb. 26th, 2011 09:59 pmYou remember that exercise in Math class where you had to find the area of a compound shape by finding the area of the various shapes it was made of and adding them together?
At some point, I started to figure out the total height and width, and then working out the area of the space in that box not occupied by the shape, and subtracting the latter from the former. And I'd show my work too. As far as I know, I never lost points for it. I'm not sure if the teachers found it correct, or they just glanced at the working-out to see it was there.
It was my way of being rebellious.
Unlike most art majors, I'm pretty good at math.

"shock and awe and amaze me"
Sep. 25th, 2010 07:03 pmThe Student Handbook says that for safety reasons, I should keep my door closed and locked at all times.
Articles online about how to make friends say that I should leave my door open a lot.
I think I'll choose potential friends over a risk of a thief.* Everyone knows college students are a low risk for theft.
*I'll just leave the door open randomly, is all. That'll confuse the marauders.

If anyone has any tips for college life, esp. making friends, I'd like to hear them.
Net loss: One sister, off to University. A few tears.
Net gain: One free, well-thumbed copy of Stephen King's "Duma Key", supplied by a friendly cabbie who had finished it. I noticed it in the trunk when he was taking out our bags at the coach station, and he just handed it over.

Minor update
Sep. 12th, 2010 02:28 pmI got a nice laptop, the Visas for my sister and me are on their way back from the British Embassy in New York, and in less than a week we're about to leave behind almost everything we've known to go to college a quarter-way across the world.
Nothing big.
