Well, last night I had my final Translation class. I have come to enjoy it simply because I have found a real talent in it. However, even last night I still felt like the oddball out. Everyone brought beer and wine and food (I didn't mind the food, hehe). Yet myself and the pregnant lady were the only two not drinking, and she was complaining that she couldn't drink.

That was only one thing though. I just feel and have felt so odd in 3 out of 4 of my classes. I don't quite know why I get along better with the students in my German class. But in the others, I feel like such a child because I don't do and don't like doing all the normal social stuff and don't have a job either; even though I am probably two or three years older than some of the people in these classes. I feel my immaturity glaringly obvious when I sit next to these other students. I don't like feeling like a freak-- weird, yes. Different, yes. Eccentric, yes. But a freak, no. Sigh. I need to find some good nerds to hang out with. I don't suppose they hang around the English building though.

We as people in general emulate. These
can be bad emulations, and good ones.

I as a example hung around Rocky Horror
people with their toothless smiles, drug
habits, abortions, pregnancies, ect...!

Would it have been right to deny my true
nature and try to be someone I was not,
and seeing habits and things that I feel
have negative reprocussions later and
this too I would see. NO!

By all means enjoy the company and food
and stay true with your integrity, and don't
be a sheep. This is our best gift, the gift
of foresight and maturing into a better us
under all circumstances.

Be true to yourself and all will fall into place.
Besides their is nothing special about
gambling, drinking, smoking(I am guilty of
this-the only bad habit from my Rocky
Horror days). God Bless and may you
see past their masks and disguises.

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter

Triple post Ghost. Please edit 2 of them to just shorten the page :D


EDIT: Better. Thanks. Your posts tend to be on the long side (nothing wrong w that) and therefore, when triple posted, make the page about 50 miles long :P
