Hallo hullo. The first update in a while, ne? I’ve been having an interesting time here in college. Making new friends is always a good thing. The dining hall (from now on affectionately called “d-hall”) food here isn’t all that great, and it makes some people (myself excluded) sick, but all in all, it’s not all that terrible. My roommate is lovely. I have found stuff to do, including a job on campus (yay, money), and midterms were last week. I survived, more or less. Not doing too well in Sociology, though, and haven’t been to choir in a little under three weeks. But on the upside, I created a list of things I must do before I die (assuming I die at a decent age) and I’ve been looking at classes for next semester. Here’s the list of thing I have to do before I die:
- Get a book of my own works (poetry, stories, whatever) published and sold at least decently
- Learn to speak, read, and write in at least three languages (I’ve got one down already: English, and I’m working on a second: German)
- Learn to play an instrument as well as my father can play the piano
- Receive a PhD in at least one subject
- Visit Ireland
- Raise a child with my life partner
- Find a life partner
- Donate a significant amount of my earnings to LGBT friendly organisations and those that are promoting LGBT rights and causes
