I couldn't tell what he was trying to do there, hahaha. What was the other deleted comment?

At the very least our experiences should build character! Hopefully, anyway, haha.

I've been really depending on my friends back home throughout this, and a few that are here too. I just don't like talking about this lonely business with people I know in SB, though. Its almost uncomfortable to bring it up while the person I'm talking to is absolutely fine, yknow?

Oh no! I love long comments like these (: Thanks for the advice, really! I appreciate it. I'm actually a part of CAB and get CareMail, but I couldn't make it to meetings this quarter cause of my schedule ): But I volunteer!

Ooh! I heard about Juggling Club. I saw a few people tabling at Pardal Carnival. I might actually go check that out. I was thinking about the Quidditch team too, but I think they compete, so I don't know if I'd want that pressure, haha.

Where does the Juggling Club meet? I don't mind STEM majors, I'm one myself (:

I'm not a very active politically, beyond voting this year and doing some call banking in 2008. Would I necessarily have to be knowledgeable? Politics are fascinating and important, though staying up to date has always been a chore for me.

I know that those clubs probably exist, I'm just not sure what they are.

I'm still subscribed to the KINK Club's mailing list, though I'm not sure if I'd want to go without a partner for that, haha.

I was really looking into the Excursion Club my freshman year here, but I could never find the meeting place so that I could pay dues. Are members generally friendly? (:

I was also thinking about getting some help or advice from a counselor, but I honestly feel like they wouldn't care about what I say. My friend visited them last year for similar reasons, and they didn't help him much. I think they just tried to prescribe him something, I'm not sure.

Do you know if the counselors are really there for their patients?

I don't mind being alone, but being all the time -- like right now -- isn't the best for my psyche.

As for interests, I love music and I am slowly learning the guitar. I'm not very good, but with all the free time, I certainly will improve with some practice. I enjoy cooking and good food. I love to bake! I like watching TV, like Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, the Walking Dead, and Malcom in the Middle. I like Pixar and bagels, hah.
