Oh my life!

Well I haven't updated the masses on my doings for here about two weeks and I probably should rectify this situation so straight into it! This week was basically getting pumped for college. I had oreintation. It was good information and all but it was just very draining. They divided us up into 'I-teams". My team was a trail. The girl leader was a total spaz. She made it make sense why Liz (my sister) calls them "happy trolls". The guy Brett was pretty peppy the first day but was alright the next day. I felt sort of bad for making his time harder, since they are just volunteers, but I really I am just not good with the assign a friend concept. I sort of just like going into things like that by myself. I don't like the whole awkward small talk. I prefer having to get to know someone through like school work. More of group project as opposed to random meeting. I have trouble with things like that. I tried to distance myself from the group as much as possible. During the lunch portion, I sat in the corner by myself. Some of the other I team leaders tried to get me to sit with their groups. It was like elementary school all over again. I prefer sitting alone in situations like that because I can observe and then it logically makes sense to me why I am not socializing. I think it is sort of like the difference between the lonely someone feels in the country and the lonely a person in the city is subject too. I am not complaining or whining about what happened it is just what happened. Nobody believes me when I say this but I am pretty shy all things considered. Before you laugh at me and post something on mmy Facebook wall telling me that I am full of crap let me justify this. Okay so think back to before we were friends. Okay have that? How did we become friends? Well it was either through mutual friends or forced association in class. I have never in recorded history waltzed up to someone and just chatted it up and walked away with a new friend. Anyway it is not in my personality to excel at situations like oreintation. I am glad it is over. I would have just prefered to jump into classes honestly. I think I could be really good at college type work. In happier news I discovered a really delicious slushee on campus. The brand is Frazil (reminds me of Brazil) and it is tiger's blood flavor. I had one around the time I was about to generally freak out on Friday and it made me feel a little better.
Well yesterday Logan, Rachel, Cole, Cameron and I went to the fair. It really cheered me up. Lately I have been feeling out of sorts and it was really nice to be back in a familiar groove. It was good to be back with people that already knew my hometown and major. I also got a lot of stuff at the National Weather Service booth. I do love free things. My mom is going to hang the "don't play in lightning storms" poster in her office.
I guess next I should hit up church. I went to my college ward for the first time today. Thankfully it starts at 1:30. I really like my bishop. He is really friendly and funny. His name is Brother Chelson. Cool guy. There is some real wackados in the ward though. There is this one girl who makes her own chain mail and apparently is into it enough to be able to tell the difference between Japanese and European chain mail. I think she said that one of her friends went to their prom in some sort of chian mail concotion from their prom. Also there is a bunch of zany people that don't have enough of a story to tell. Thus far in my college experience there is two types of people, normal people that I might like to associate with and crazy people who I would only talk to in order to have something good to flog about. Maybe that makes me a jerk. I don't know and at this juncture I am highly prone to not caring. I think it would be in my best interest to just get involved in school work and manage my exsisting friendships for the time being. If anything else comes into play then so be it but for now I am not going to go looking for things.
Now onto things of less of a calender nature. So I had kind of weird moment today. I was sitting in sacrament meeting and I was thinking back to 9/11. I remember that a few days after 9/11 I wondered what the 10th aniversary would be like. You know what my life would be like, what sorts of political stuff would go down, how big a footprint 9/11 would leave. It was weird remembering wondering about the present when it was the future. Sure I could have down some math and figured out that I would be 18 by now and I would in all likelihood be in college. It just strikes me as strange that I would even have the foresight to consider ten years down the line. Then again I am chalk full of surprises even for myself I suppose. Second point of oddity. I was driving home from the Cameron's house after the fair and I was following Cole back into more familiar regions of Archer. Then it hit me. Cole is going to be leaving. These times of me following him back into town (or whatever silly thing) are limited. I thought about him as a missionary and I was like dang Cole is going to be the most rocking missionary ever. I guess the only reason it was strange is that it hit me as the day was over and I was following him back into town. You think that sort of revelation would come during the peak of festivities. Well at any rate Cole I am proud of you. I know you that your mission is going to rock and that you are going to be a force for good. Satan basically hates you right now. Also, don't worry Cameron I am sure that I will have a similar experience closer to your departure.
Well I think, I am running out of things to say. For some reason I feel like I should say that I am really thankful for everything I have. I know that I am a whiny sack of crap a lot but really my life pretty much rocks. As a kid my life wasn't so good and I assumed it would basically stay pretty consistant but ti hasn't. There are a lot of things in this world that don't make sense to me. I know that everything I have is because God has smiled upon my sorry hind end. I just hope that my hijinx keep him amused enough to stay on his good. Well I feel like that is close to it. Oh thanks for being my friends. I think you guys are all pretty cool so know that.
Miss you all,
Sarah
