life update: oct 09

...No worries, I'm unpacked and fully moved in by now, but that's what my room looked like when I came back to school a few weeks ago (it's only been that short a time? It feels like ages).

Yes, I'm back in New England, after a summer of sunshine and awesomeness. It feels so odd to not be living with Sylvanus and Mina anymore, and I am missing them both. They were such lovely housemates I can't be too unhappy, though, because I'm living at Zeta Mu (the co-ed fraternity I'm a member of. It is chock full of queers ) and I love it. I had my reservations about living there - the noise, distractions and lack of privacy, for instance - but I'm so glad I ultimately decided to live there, because it's so nice to wake up, or come home after a long day, and see people I like in the bathroom / hallways instead of random people I don't know... I'm hanging out a lot more, getting to know more of the members who I've really wanted to get to know better for a while now, and I feel so much more like a part of the house.

Besides that...

• I'm taking my first queer / gender studies class, and I love it. It's the only "elective" class I'm taking this term, i.e. I don't actually need it for anything, but it's my favorite class. I wish I had taken a class like this earlier, I may have not ended up majoring in English after all...
• I'm going through some growing pains with my friendship with S, who is one of my best friends. Basically, we haven't been speaking for about two weeks now. I'm not quite sure what to do... We both like and care about each other a lot, but lately I've been finding our differences quite hard to reconcile
• I'm a senior this year. A senior! I have to do all that scary, job-hunting shit now. I haven't even really started yet. I checked out the corporate recruiting stuff going on here, but I do not want to work at a big corporation / in business. Ideally I'm looking for something creative, or related to social justice. Or, well, something sex-positive. Working for a sextoy / sex education org. would be perfect for me, lol. Hire me, someone?
