Dear Diary,
I think that i need to get a job at the reserves desk in the library. that's where all the hotties work. work, meaning listen to death cab on their ipods while reading psychology today. I wonder how you land that sweet job. by the way have i told you about my new sweet job? concessions at sports games. laugh all you want suckers, but i'll be laughing all the way to the bank. i'm pretty sure that it will be the easiest job that ever was.
Today in math class we had to name the senators from our home states because we were learning about functions. not only did i know all about functions, i could also name both my senators. a helluva lot of people couldn't. this must mean that i am succeeding at college which in turn means succeeding at life. yay.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
Man, i'm bored. this annoys me a lot. i feel like i constantly have these 20 minute to an hour long periods in my room in which i do nothing. I tend to spend a lot of time checking my e-mail and reading my friends away messages on AIM. I also check my banking online to make sure no one is stealing my money. I have 18 dollars in my checking account so someone HAS been stealing my money. maybe it's the college bookstore. When i was buying my books i was silently fuming the whole time the innocent student was ringing me up. I just wanted to yell at her, "ARE YOU AWARE THAT I MADE 3.99 AN HOUR THIS SUMMER?! it's not her fault that all of my books were new editions and i spent my summer changing young lives. but ugh. it's in the past. hakuna matata.
i'm tempted to just run downtown, find the greyhound station and get on a bus heading west. but i am already fairly west so i'm going to head east. to montana. I want to climb a mountain and ride some horses. meet intriguing strangers.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
Guess what my new favorite hobby as of yesterday is. Birkam yoga. 90 minutes of crazy yoga in an 105 degree room. It's the only way that I'm going to be able to spend time with Sarah #1 now that we are no longer roomies. The things i do for friendship. So we went to this yoga studio in sellwood yesterday, and both got a month unlimited yoga for 29$. That was the best deal by a lot. Let me attempt to explain to you what this is like. you are sweating so bad that the tops of your feet and your elbows are beading up. Then you hold some crazy back bend for 60 seconds a lot of times in a row- and it never ever ends. who's ever heard of a 90 minute work out? The worst part is that you feel all nauseous from the heat instead of simply exerted from the yoga. But anyway i'm going back tonight... The idea is that i do it like 17 times this month so i get my moneys worth. and then i'll quit because your second month is 95 bucks not 29.
So last night at midnight me and some kids went to pick up kanye west's new album. There were all these hipsters outside the record store, and i was really impressed at their diverse tastes, because i assumed they were there for kanye. then i found out that death cab for cuties album came out at midnight too. me, sarah and the baseball players were the only ones there for kanye. at least WE were anticipating his highly anticipated new album. jerky hipsters and their silly deathcab.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I have sooooooo much free time. my only obligation in my life right now is to go to three hours of class a day and to do hella homework. This is lightyears away from my summer experience where i was occupied 24/7 but usually did not have to think that hard. it was just like, yay let's tie dye again, i'm an expert.
It is funny to watch the freshman go to their classes now that i am much much wiser. They look so scared. I remember last year just being like, "holy shit holy shit holy shit i'm in college!"
It is raining harder than it has in months. I am not typing very fast because i am also staring out the window in awe. I think it's hurricane Katrina.
I like to play this game with myself when I'm walking to class and a big crowd of people is walking by. As each person passes i'm like girl boy girl girl girl boy girl. Every time i take this inventory my suspicion is confirmed. the boy to girl ratio at lewis and clark is pathetic.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
My life moves so fast. one minute i'm not at college, the next minute i am at college. i'm sure no one else in the world has ever had this profound thought before.
I have forgotten so many peoples names it is awful!! I ran into at least five people today whos names i forgot. people i've talked to lots, friends! awkward... I have also stopped trying to explain my summer to people. no one gets how awesome it was, so there is no use in trying.
I am excited to be at college even though i am a little nervous.
Love,
Diana
