"break away from campus" music: DJ Mystik - I'll Be There
mood: optimistic

this weekend was really good for me, particularly because i got to get away from campus and find mental therapy in the first-year multicultural retreat at the sheraton in south portland. a good number of us went down there to stay over friday night to i guess, share our thoughts and even vent our frustrations with issues at bowdoin, mostly about adapting to maine as a minority. the best part was the fact that the maine mall was located right across the street, so i got to get a little shopping done! actually, i didnt buy anything, just shoelaces from Hot Topic which were on sale for a dollar! now i can switch my pink-&-blue star black laces on my converses to some hot pinstripes! XD anyhow, the little trip really gave me time to think about what i'm doing here at bowdoin, and what i need to do about my frustrations with the school. things arent perfect, but when i really look at the good and bad parts, ultimately, the good outweighs the bad. i guess i didnt realize how much i really had to adapt to. talk about lack of mental preparation.

a ton of music rehearsal tonight, ensemble right after orchestra...but omg, i can't believe our orchestra concert is next sunday. SO not ready. especially since i still havent really looked at the last movement of the beethoven >.< ::sigh:: and we're picking classes in a week..which i'm REALLY not ready for. crap. i can't believe the semester is ending so soon! but this also means that i'm that much closer to going home and seeing those i love and care about most, not to mention those that make me happy. i can't wait for the snow. i can't wait for winter.
