But it's COOL to disobey the honor code!

For the last few days I've been in a general "not-happy" mood. It was especially bad yesterday. I had no motivation to do anything, and didn't feel like being around people. I was feeling all alone and sorry for myself, and annoyed at life. 

But today I woke up in an okay mood. My first class was okay. I had more leftovers for breakfast (still haven't gone shopping- cranberry meatballs and punkin pie! Oh wait, I do have frozen corn and rice, but that's all). Then I went to the upper lounge and played piano. Now I need to do my paper, and math homework. Later I have classes, then there's this music thing I'm going to at 7:30, and I'm excited about that. My paper's due tomorrow and I only have half the words I need. It's stupid that we're required to use so many words. But I've already said that. 

Ayer I was at the Snow late at night, and I played the piano for 2-ish hours. I learned the right hand of "How Firm a Foundation," (SO many black keys!) and "Come, Ye Children of the Lord". I'm starting to really like a lot of hymns. It's cool.

One of my roomies brought a guy home with her last night after work. There were a couple things wrong with this. One, I was sitting in the living room in a tank top. Two, it was 11:30pm, twenty minutes to curfew, and the rules say that guys are supposed to be out by 11:45pm to give them time to get home. This is what miffed me the most. The dorms across from ours I have nicknamed "The Great and Spacious Dorm," because they don't follow the rules: breaking curfew, keeping guys over too late, being REALLY loud after quiet hours, wearing immodest clothing. Et Cetera, Et Cetera. We're supposed to be the good side. And I do NOT want OUR apartment getting the same reputation as the GSD. I mentioned curfew at 11:40pm, and again at 12:05am. But they were stupid and didn't listen, just kept on watching their movie, so I went to my room and tried to ignore the fact that they were breaking the rules big time and that I could and should have done something but didn't. I don't know when he left, but if I was hearing right, it may have been around 1am. Ticked me off.

And it's overcast and misting again- beautiful beautiful beautiful. If the weather just stayed like this for the rest of the time I was here, I'd be glad. 

No more procrastination. Homework time.

Ah, the college days. Unfortunately this will probably be one of many experiences you have with friends/roommates breaking rules. My advice is: be open and honest with them about your feelings, making sure you have the Spirit with you. And always stand up for what YOU believe in, no matter what. You're such a good girl, and I'm so proud of you!!!
