So as I settle into the swing of things at school finally I can't help but to notice that dorm life is not all it's cracked up to be.

First of all, I was at first really excited about living in Blanco seeing as I would having my own bathroom and all, but now I'm beginning to realize that perhaps it was not the wisest of living decisions.
A-It is basically on the other side of the world, or that's how it feels when it takes me 25 minutes to get to class from here. Many of my friends live in Sterry and Falls and are able to wake up at 7:40 and still be on time. I'm pretty bitter about that.
B-My roomates and I do not get along.Don't get me wrong; one of the girls is wonderful and she and I have actually grown quite close. Buuuut our third roomate butts heads with both of us. Perhaps it's that she wants to go to sleep at 9:45 every night and demands that we turn off every light or noise producing thing in the room on her schedule. Or, maybe it's that I constantly find her dirty towels on top of my laundry basket, ew right? All in all, it hasn't been working out for the best.
C-And this problem is all me I must admit, but I'm an only child coming from the home of a single parent who worked full-time and went to school, but I can't freaking get over that I'M NEVER ALONE. Never! I walk to class with my roomates, one of them is always there when i get back, they are always there at night, one of them is always in the bathroom, the "good company" is neverending! I'm aching to have some me time but it never seems to come.

So, I would just like to share how excited I am about living so close to the outlet mall. I've already made three trips sense my arrival here in San Marvelous, and will likely be making a fourth tomorrow after class. Actually, likely? who am I kidding? I'm totally going back tomorrow after class! I really should be careful, that haven of goodness could potentially be a large enemy of my time, checkbook, and sanity, but frankly I really don't care. Being from Austin, I'm no stranger to the Tanger Premium Outlets center, but I am a new shopper to the large high-end retail area that was recently added to the left end. Y'all may not realize it by the likes of me when I stumble into class, but I do actually shower and dress up sometimes.

On a darker note, my third roomate has taken to leaving nice little surprises for me around the room such as used floss, dirty socks and/or underpants, and food wrappings. It's so very considerate of her to think of me when she strategically leaves these gifts in the most unconvienent of places.

The lack of sleep that collge life provides is beginning to get to me. Perhaps it's slightly my fault, but there are so many interesting things to do at night! Especially on Thursdays. Pair that with the fact that I have an eight o'clock class bright and early every morning, and you've got one very sleepy student. Plus my super awesome roomie enjoys waking up at 5:30 every morning to go to the rec, and turning on every single light in the room simply so she can put on shorts and sneakers. Really, it's hypocritical for her to request that my other roommate and I finish all of our homework and TV enjoyment by 9:30 because that's when she likes to go to bed and then to jam her iTunes at the crack of dawn every morning. No scratch that, before the crack of dawn, it's usually still dark.

I really feel like I should say something to her, but I'm not good with confrontation. I'm actually quite "wussy", if you will, when it comes to things of that nature. Although, it seems I do quite well with ranting/raving about her to you guys!

Oh the joys of grocery shopping for myself. The tables have been turned my friends, it is now I who decides what to buy at the store, and I even get to push the cart myself!

So I'm beginning to really miss certain things about Austin. I wish I could be cool and say 6th Street and the nightlife are what I'm referring to, but ha I don't even turn 18 until October so I've never partaken in those downtown joys. No, what I am longing for is the big city life. Being just 10 minutes from the nearest shopping mall. Having a delicious sushi place at my disposal. The option of Whole Foods for my aforementioned lone grocery shopping ventures. Having my doctor, dentist, and hairstylist all within a comfortable driving distance. What can I say, I'm a creature of habit, and being in a different town is throwing me all off.

Oh well, at least here I can enjoy Shipley's donuts!

I'm very angry with the Texas State internet server. It's slow and unreliable, and I can't download music!!! I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with the lack of new jams in my life, and there really isn't anything I can do about it except, gasp, pay for my songs? Word on the street is that you can find computer engineering majors who will take the downloading block off your computer, but it costs a hefty fee. I'm really not pleased.

So one of my favorite times of year has arrived, the season premire season! All my favorite TV shows are new and improved and back for my entertainment, and I couldn't be more excited. Favorites include nip/tuck, Lost, grey's anatomy, Project Runway, and Desprate Housewives. Hooray for having these little pleasures back in my life!
