fishy products: "failing is what makes you succeed"

so does that mean that i can fail all my classes at college and succeed in LIFE ?! O_O

that'd be awesome, but lets be realistic

you can't be that dumb...right?

classes have started, and yeah, they're a pain in the ass because i've already got my first 10-page paper due on tuesday. im also taking art history, and i can't really say i like it. but my french class is pas mal, actually. monsieur ellman only speaks french and no english except when he pronounces our names, which is perfectly fine for me -- thank you high school french.

but besides classes, i love being back at school because it means independence. no more are those summer days when i had to tell everyone where i was going and what time i'd be back. at college, i will forget to eat dinner and be a-okay. i can also not wash my clothes for a week and not have someone breathing down my back. i dont have to fix my bed, and i dont have to clean up my clothes off the floor.

however

i've noticed some things have changed about me since retuning this year as a junior:

i used to never care if my bed was made or not. who freakin' cares if you're just going to sleep in it anyway and mess it up again later on?? -- but now, i have to make it before i leave the room. i can't tell you why i feel like i have to now, but i just feel like it just makes ME feel better to have it made
and no longer can i leave clothes strewn on the floor or hanging out of my drawers because -- UGH. it would drive me insane now. maybe i can hold out for a couple of days before i go crazy and do a complete cleaning of the entire room [my side of the room]
i can still wait a week to wash my clothes. i dont think that's a big deal. maybe in part because i've got so much clothes stuffed in my one dresser.
i still forget to eat dinner, and i still am okay with it. i think with college, you just tend to have so much fun going from floor to floor visiting each friend that you just forget by the time you go to bed. and when you wake up, it's already 12, and it's time for lunch!

all the stuff that needed to be at school with me
