Premonitions

These days really are panning out well, except for a few hindrances (read: problems)

Before I continue, you probably noticed I haven’t posted in a while…sorry. I’ve been having these late night conversations, I’ve been working later (meaning I’m tired earlier), and I haven’t been at home when I do come back…because I am having fun, probably some sort of divine compensation for school.

“steven: I have to go now, I’m going to go write something in my blog.

xxxxani: you hv a blog? man, you hv no life!”

Anyway, so Harvard has these preorientation programs – one for rock climbing, one for artistic expression, one for international students, and one called Dorm Crew.  Thinking this would be a good opportunity to have some fun before college starts (read: maybe a week before college?), I signed up for Dorm Crew.

Bad idea.

The first image I’m greeted with when I open open the Dorm Crew packet is a picture of a toilet and then various pictures of kids smiling and having fun with brooms and making mustaches with brushes…OH NO, so it’s some sort of campus beautification process that bonds people together and in teamster optimism claims to be the “Dorm Crew.” Great!

I took my first drive by myself a couple of days ago (usually my mom or a friend is riding with me). The only place I knew how to get to was Meyerland, so I ended up going to Starbucks and ordered a shaken Passion Lemonade and Iced Tea. By myself. The drink was too sour, but the weather was perfect, my windows were down, and I had some music blaring…it felt good, kind of like the strokes of liberation you take when you shave your stubble (oh wait, sorry, I’m a little ahead of some of you guys-and girls- haha).

There’s also a lot of drama going on, you know the same drama that makes you grimace and groan at the same time – guys who are obsessed, girls who are clueless, and me smack dab in the middle who can’t resist to say that’s what she said. Maybe it’s a preface to college. I don’t know. I really don’t know what to expect.

And really, I need input on stuff to talk about, so leave comments with your own suggestions – anything at all.
