I really miss nice weather. It's funny, there are certain times in my life that serve as a sort of "archetype" for good weather, in my mind. One time I always remember when I think of nice weather is when I was a freshman in high school and I had gone for a walk through the woods with my best friend. I ended up getting 86 mosquito bites (I'm not joking), but it was really fun. We fed a cat and some deer and we saw some chipmunks. We walked the whole four miles of the trail plus the walk home... And it rained for a big part of it, thus the attraction of the mosquitos.

But anyway. After, I was in my room. And I had these like... "Bamboo" woven curtains. I had the window open and everything had that nice rain smell and it started to thunderstorm. This was in like... Late june or early july.

I don't know. I miss that kind of thing. Part of it is just that I miss doing that stuff with my friends. The people I've met here are okay but nothing that makes me really happy. I enjoy doing things but eh. For example, I enjoyed drinking with friends but I had absolutely no interest in seeing "27 Dresses", so I stayed behind while they saw it.

Feeling kind of restless lately. I think next year my goal is to take a few writing classes and to maybe try writing for the school newspaper. They keep asking for help in it, but I don't have the time to balance all of this stuff. I just want to be more active so hopefully I can make better friends, since I've only made a few. I'm not very good at making friends.

My goal for spring break and summer is to write more. I'm probably not going to use the computer as much or watch tv. I will probably leave my TV at school so I'm forced to write more. Every time I wrote a lot was when I hadn't watched a lot of TV, etc. As for summer... I may not bring my laptop on vacation. Depends... We'll see. Sometimes it's needed. Especially with school emails.

Anyway... End of rambling.
