College Life (Or Lack Thereof)

A few things have been made apparent to me in the past few days.

1- Stretch out arms before playing racquetball
2- The LSAT is a bitch
3- House parties are not my vocation

I went to a Baker townhome tonight to visit my gf, and it turned out her house was throwing this big party. And I got sort of intimidated, and felt very awkward at said party. That's an understatement, I stood outside and tried to formulate a plan of attack to go into the house. I guess the experience made me think about my social strengths and weaknesses. I don't really feel like I fit the normal college mold for social situations. Big parties just really aren't my thing, in fact, I feel very uncomfortable at them. And I suppose I don't really quite mind that. I don't know if it's some sort of continuation of the pub mentality of England, but nowadays, my favorite thing to do with good friends is to just sit with a pint or two, listen to music or watch TV, and just talk.




Who knows. But it's a challenge, as relationships invariably bring us into situations we occasionally feel uncomfortable in. It's a struggle for me to try and reach a middle ground, especially when I don't want to do things I don't want to do. Anyways, that's all I have to say about that. I'm happy with who I am.

As could be noted, I've spent a lot of time lately studying for the LSAT, which will be over in a fortnight from right now. Can't wait. My new book is giving me increased confidence, which is really nice. I want to do as well as I possibly can. I really want to go to Minnesota for law school. Too often I sort of get stuck in the middle of the pack. I'm good at stuff, but not distinguished enough to be elite. It will be hard to get into Minnesota, but I'm going to give it my all.

The point about the racquetball is pretty self explanatory, I think.

I'd like to share some music clips here. Music has always been a big part of my life, and especially in college, I'm learning the value and beauty of having a music collection. Listening to lots of music, buying albums, thinking about tunes, being inspired by music, all sorts of stuff. These are from a band called Sigur Ros which I got into whilst in England. They're an Icelandic group, and they have one of the most distinctive sounds you'll ever hear. So, check this stuff out if you feel the need. I'd recommend it.
