Endless in-between
2009-08-31 & 10:09 p.m.

Four weeks into college, I can't say I've truly adapted, or immersed myself in the system. Resolution for this year was to embrace or at least accept change, which is proving far harder than expected. But I am coping, surviving, even as the ride in to school every Monday brings with it the same nostalgia for the recently concluded weekend, same longing for the familiar and trepidation regarding the academic week.

On JCRC (Junior Common Room Committee, or the Exco of sorts of my hostel): I am running for this knowing I am the clear underdog. I have honestly accepted that this is a race I am prepared to lose, despite not being someone who takes defeat very well, or often. If my concept and my posters somehow pull in the votes that I need, then awesome, and I'll sign over the next year of my life plus part of my soul in exchange for one more academic year in Hall 11. If not, I'll gladly and with much relief keep my term break to myself, remain the hermit that I am at heart, and pull every string I can to secure myself a place here all the same.

Other than that: Still skeptical, still largely independant, still very much out of the loop, still breathing.
