As the sun sets, the storm clouds slowly drift away...

It's been a while--well, not a terribly long while, but in any case, you guys deserve an update:
Let's see, since the copying machine triumph... that night I walked with my floor and the 1st floor boys to a little ice cream shop in Bellingham called Mallard's. It's very nice, the ice cream is good, and it's reasonably priced, I think. I had me some Lavender ice cream! That might sound weird to some of y'all, but honestly, to me, it's freakin' delicious!
After that I decided that the next time I would be coming home I would bring back up my baking supplies! I miss making desserts... I begun to debate whether or not I should go home this weekend.
OOH! Also, earlier that day, I had recieved one of the most interesting personality tests ever... I'll have to share it with you people individually. It's pretty funny, pretty weird, and if done correctly, pretty darn accurate! My roommate (a VERY creative person) was especially good at interpreting the results. Praise to her!
Hmmm... nothing much besides school work and going to classes this week. I forgot my towel when I took a shower on Tuesday--I realized I had done so after I was done with my shower. I knew something like this would happen eventually, but this still took me by surprise. Fortunately I had my bathrobe, so I just went back into my room and retrieved my essentials, praying along the way that there were no boys in the hallway (there weren't, thank goodness). No big deal, but it was still slightly embarressing.
I've slowly but surely been sorting out my issues, slowly but surely emerging from my comfortable but rather dark lair. I've been bonding with some of the girls on my floor, and with my roommate. I'm starting to trust her more and more, and I want to move past the "just roommate" stage (ha ha, I want to take it to the next level!). She has always struck me as a cool person, but I think she'd make a good friend. So we'll see what happens.
Yesterday...
My FIG seminar was really cool. The teacher we have is in a band made up of different staff members in Western, and we got to listen to them live in front of us! I swear, that class is like a School of Rock! My dream come true! I look forward to that class everyday, we never have a not intersting day in there.
That evening I went and saw the actual play "The Suppliant Women." Like any play, it's SO much different seeing it than reading it. I'm sorta glad I'm familiar with the play, but seeing it... I have to say, I think it was freakin' awesome. I guess you'd have to be familiar with the play to understand me, but it's so amazing how something that was written over 2000 years ago is so relivent to events happening today. That's what really struck me about the play. Anyway, I had never seen Greek Theater done before, and this was very well done. Much talent, much imagination, and a couple of cute boys! ;) I'm so glad I have easy access to theater up here, it's a very enjoyable experience.
I also made it official that I'm going home this weekend. Have to get a few essential things, and do two weeks worth of laundry!
So today I had my first midterm. For Theater. It wasn't so bad, I had put off studying for a while (heh, who doesn't?), but it wasn't that hard. I won't say it wasn't hard overall, it did make me think a bit, but the whole test was True/False, so the challenge wasn't overwhelming. I'm just hoping I did well as I think I did! For the rest of the day I took it easy; watched some TV, saw my roommate and two girls from my floor off for the weekend, hung out with another girl on my floor and told her stories from my past, and got a few things together to bring home. So nothing terribly exciting for the outside world to hear, but oh well. Times up here are getting good, and I'm becoming more and more torn between home and here... in fact, which is which?
Listening to Neil Young's "Natural Beauty." Lovely song, and I really subscibe to the message as well. Won't plague you with musicless lyrics today, though. But I recommend checking it out.
