it feels like i have been here forever. it feels like i’ve known these people forever. tonight james and i went to the gulch (local bar) to DECOMPRESS and hash it out but tons of people followed us so we tried to escape but got tons of attention from the other patrons. inescapable notoriety! but that’s okay. we got to talk. it was good.
we just got back from the glen tonight. we stayed in cabins out there last night, which was EXCELLENT. i was the only female in a cabin of dudes. i love dudes! we stayed up late and played truth or dare and neverhaveiever and it was so FUN and middleschooly but with grownups who respect each other. how lovely.
i have a crush. it’s nice. maybe a couple of crushes. nicer.
someone signed a book deal to write about the reopening of antioch, and the community is trying to deal with that, and trying to decide whether we should allow him to embed himself here, because that’s what he wishes. it’s enticing to imagine someone taking such an intense interest, but at the same time, i feel like someone who’s writing a book likely has an agenda, so i’m skeptical of whether it’s going to be good for us and/or the college. it’s so hard to try and figure out solutions to problems when i can so easily see why both sides are correct. it makes me feel stupid.
on a good note, i’m making unexpected friends. unlikely friends. everybody is genuinely nice and intelligent and it’s so unlike what i’m used to. i’m going to start a NIGHT OWL club to gather in the common rooms and play games. we’ve kind of established the nocturnal crowd - we hung out ‘til 3 tonight. kool kids.
my windowsill has a couple of mason jars full of fresh wildflowers on it. i’m almost done with lady chatterley’s lover, and that is THE ONLY BOOK i have here. someone plz send me one. charity!
i better get to bed. going to breakfast with da boyz 2mrw
