Life is good again!

It's been a long time coming... but after two long months of pain and suffering, life is good again.

That's right... the Red Sox won tonight and the Orioles lost. First place, at long last.

Add that to the fact that I just polished off 44 ounces of Mountain Dew at 1:39 in the morning, and the fact that I saw Batman tonight, and you can understand me being in quite the jovial mood.

It would be even better if not for all the people leaving town this week. But with all these people leaving me here and heading all over the state, the country, the world, what have you, it makes it so that I can't help but look forward to getting to return the favor.

I just read that sentence I just wrote, and it sounded really awkward. I really should stop writing things in the wee hours of the morning when my brain is elsewhere. I'm sure they don't make any sense. But... oh well, it's too late to stop now. I should just get to the point.

I'm having this sudden realization: college is gonna be awesome. In addition to getting my physical and confirming financial aid awards and all that boring stuff, I'm starting to get into the fun part of the pre-college grind, and oddly enough, that means I'm thinking about school in June, for the first time ever.

I've talked online to a small handful of future classmates, and they all seem really cool. I can't wait to meet all these people I'm spending my next four years with. And, thanks to a letter I received today, I get to meet them three days earlier than I expected. I just got invited to the international students' orientation, which means I get to come three days earlier and meet all sorts of Jumbos from around the globe. It pays to be a prospective international relations major.

The one thing that gets on my nerves is how slowly all these college things are happening... I don't get an email address until August, nor do I get assigned housing. But I'll get over it... probably by looking at the bright side, and realizing that this way, I get a chance to slow down and enjoy summer. School can wait, I suppose.
