Annadale

So i signed up for my classes which include painting 1, Athenian Century, and Symbolic Logic.

I am adjusting to my new school slowly but surely. Its peculiar. And certainly much more explicitly weird. People I would say are on the whole much smarter than the illini or at least weird enough that their intellectual discourse and commentary are pleasantly interesting such as discussions of human rights and a whole slew of odd websites that are strange.

I think I am happy-ish well I am certain that the people are more interesting but unlike normally I have become painfully shy and reserved. I think less sexual as well. I have just sort of become the anti-homer of middleschool who if you don't recall was loud rambunctious and other things. So life is moving very slowly as I try to breach the social scene that was formed here three weeks ago by the freshmen and the strong build between the currently as I speak moving in sophomores and upper classmen. Its gonna be weird but hopefully I can show my stripes in my Art classes. Hopefully. But people here Are nice. I am just kind of timid.

I didn't use to be like this. But oddly I think it is because now that I am more confident about who I am that I am more timid. This may seem weird but I don't want to seem pompous so I am timid. I don't like being smart for the most part or at least in the face of my friends at home I intellectually dwarfed by various suns in various fields and because the history of sculpture and painting rarely becomes a topic of serious discussion I don't have much to intellectually compete with. But I am now more confident about what I want in life than ever before but that makes me scared to interact and distract me from my goals. there is fantastic guitar music and banjo blasting alot of the time around here. And I am currently breaking in my boots.

In the future compare contrast this year versus last. Benefits lost and found.
