Franz Ferdinand

So tonight was one of the best night's I've ever had at SDSU. Besides getting drunk at a house party I had fun talking about the start of WWI and WWII with this guy named Jeff who lives across the hall from the Girl's. It was fun talking about what may or maynot have happene if the US had not entered either war. Whoo, good times noodle salad (extra noodles and butter).

Wake me up when December ends

Ok, so this has been a long time coming. I really love my school and the people that go here, but I'm having some issues with some of the people I live with. I miss living in Byron in my one-bedroom apartment. Now I live with three other people and one in particular who is really getting on my nerves. He's a fellow physics major, but he does little/no work toward his degree. He then gives academic advice to other majors encouraging them to change majors to the "Flexible Physics" option, giving them the opportunity to take fewer high-level courses. To me, this is the embodiment of what is wrong with higher education in America.

As if that weren't enough he's encroaching on my life, or more specifically: he's taking my friends.

I'm a very private person. I don't like to talk about personal things with people unless I can trust them wholeheartedly. This is a very small and select group of people that I care deeply about (if you're reading this, you know who you are). This group is very different from the people I see everyday in class, casually talk to, work on homework and projects with, etc... Anywho, this person is edging into my personal group of friends, and I hate it.

Everyone has their faces they show the world. Everyone does it, but they never realize it. It's kinda like how on Seinfeld when George reacts to Susan doing things with Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer. Your worlds fall apart and there is no refuge from the day to day.

Now, my worlds are colliding. This guy is entering my other life. I can't complain or talk about him to the other group anymore because now they are becoming friends. GD it all to hell.

As I said, I love this school, the professors, my department, and most of all my friends, but this is too much. I'm ready to move to the Cities and start grad school. Only 5 months to go...

On a positive note, I submitted my application to the University of Minnesota today. Here goes nothing!
