so...
First off, let me do a fangirl squee.
*OHMYGODSQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!*
I saw the Dalai Lama today. Which was just... wow.
He talked about how peace can be achieved in the modern world-how we need both internal and external peace. And the internal leads to the external. It was something else, it really was. He's an amazing man-completely and utterly. So open, so genuine, so happy. You couldn't help but smile as he talked, and feel good after he finished.
It's funny here, I've changed, but not. No parental units here mean that I've felt a bit more free, willing to try stuff, and meet more people. Andrea (my roommate) is really fun, and so that's great. I feel really loose around her, and she's introducing me to more music and some other stuff. Totally not the type of person I'd have imagined as a friend a few months ago, but she so is.
On the class end of things-I'm busy. Really busy. English keeps me drowned in work... and Horse Science is a bit of a bitch. My Trad class is a bit of an annoyance, as the Prof gets her mythology wrong at times. and we were doing "ancient animals" (dragon, unicorn, etc) today, and stuff was off. i finally got up the nerve/courage to mention it to her and she shrugged it off. said it was "just for fun." damn it, if you're going to mention pernese dragons, get them right for chrissakes. *sigh* Math I could probably sleep through and still do well. Weanlings is a load of fun-even if Marty's been a bit of a bastard lately. I still got a 46/50 on my quiz/practical-which made me feel really good.
Yep-life here is good, if tough. I've got a job at the school's Agriculture Center (aka The Farm). I clean stalls and feed horses for minimum wage. Woot!
Still though, I like it very much.
