why does my life suck so much guys
I just spent twelve hours at school. While this sounds like a bad horror story, it is going to be my life for the next semester.
I don't live at the University of Maryland, I live closer to DC, about 40 minutes away, but that's without traffic. Seeing as there is lots of traffic, I have to wake up at 7:45 am in order to make it to my first class at ten, and then I have classes at eleve, twelve, and one after that. Then I get to sit around for two hours until four, when I have yet another class, which goes until five-fifteen. After than I get back in my car and spent two hours on the beltway. I almost nodded off at the wheel twice tonight, which is not a safe practice.
Of course, this huge day is only two days out of the week--another two still involve getting up early but don't go on quite as long. Then of course, I have work at the damn coffeeshop, which I really need so I can pay for gas to get me to school. So all of this leaves very little time for actual studying and, say, other shit I like to do. Like eat. And sleep.
The logical thing to do would be to do my work during my two hour break during the day, but unfortunately there is a mile walk between my parking lot and my first class, meaning lugging heavy books is not an option.
I know I shouldn't be complaining, since I am so lucky I even have the oppurtunity to go to college, and I know things could be much, much worse. But still, it sucks, and I feel like the world is conspiring against me. I have that helpless sort of feeling I remember from a couple years ago when I was at UNCA and horribly depressed and cutting my arms up all the time.
Hopefully it won't come to that this time.
Sorry to spam you all with this.
I did learn some things though. Bounsera! Mi chiamo Rayne. Sono del Maryland
Umm...that's about all the Italian I've learned so far.

My dad used to work up in Gaithersburg, and we have family friends around there :)
Hugs are always in plentiful supply and to be had for the asking :)

I'm gonna try to get out of here after I get my undergrad--possibly to Seattle, or out of the country to Italy or England. Or really anywhere but central Maryland.

I stayed in Chicago after I graduated, not so much out of a particular loathing for PGC, but mostly because all my friends were here by the time I graduated. I'm not opposed to moving back home, especially since a large number of my 'Net friends seem to be fetching up in the DC area, but I like it here, too. Except the cold. The cold can die. I don't know why it wants to be 15 degrees here. :(
