I feel like I should update, just because I haven't yet today.

Nightrunner still owns me. You must read it, if you haven't.

Ummm. Because I don't think I've mentioned this in my journal yet, specifically, I leave for college on Friday. Meep! I'm really, really scared. I'm not sure why. I just am! I mean, all evidence indicates that I will be able to handle the work with effort to spare, but it's not so much that as the... interacting with people. I'm not really a people person. And having to live in close quarters with a person I barely know for the whole year is... scary! I'm used to having my own space, being alone most of the time. I like it that way -_- And now that all changes, rather extremely. Also, all the preparations are making me nervous, because you KNOW I'm going to forget something. And... I have this reading assignment that has to be done by Saturday, and I'm I think a third of the way through, and it's pretty damn boring (it's the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin). I'm worried I wont have anything productive to say in the discussions at all. Errr. I'M WORRIED.

Also, I really don't know how I'm going to keep up with LJ, with my girls, and with the icontest! I mean, this whole summer I've been on for many many hours every single day, and it still seems there isn't enough time to do everything I want. I guess... I'm going to have to become less invested in my flist, and, um, just be less involved, or something. People on my flist who are in college - how do you do it? LJ is almost like a full time job -_-

Aaaaaanyway. That's enough bitching. I rarely do purely personal posts, so I hope you all forgive me! Back to my very gay novel!

Oh and, I LOVE this icon. So beautiful. It's perfect for my whiny post, lol. Tear tear indeed.

LJ is my main source of distraction and time-wasting. I'm horrible about procrastinating, and so I always have something like that. If it isn't lj, it's something awful like BJfic.net. My freshman year before I had an lj and was actively involved in fandom, I played minesweeper a lot. Hours a day on live journal is not do-able for me when I'm in classes, but as it is my main source of time-wastingness I do manage to stay fairly well caught up. Then again, I'm not really as involved as a lot of the fandom people on my flist are. I keep up with my flist, but I don't update everyday or anything like that.

I'm going into my senior year in college. I remember leaving for my freshman year and having all of those exact same worries. I wasn't a people person and I needed my space. I was (am) very close to my family, especially my brother, and moving away from them was difficult. I couldn't decide what to take with me and what to leave behind and I ended up with way more stuff than would fit in half a dorm room.
The worries are normal, but I'm sure you'll be fine. I was no good at sharing a space with another person - but I did it for two years, and found it much easier to adapt to than I thought that I would. Change is scary, but it's exciting too. Good luck! You're going to be fine.

after you posted a comment on my one post (the one about the ewan picture), i checked out your lj (and i really liked it), but this post was cool, because i am going to college too, on saturday, and i am a bit nervous too. i am used to my privacy too and to not really have it will be somewhat wierd and maybe unsettling. sorry to give you this random comment, but i am in the same situation now. good luck
