Redo...

So here I am back at IU. We have only been here for about a month but so much has already happened that it seems like forever. Most of the stuff that has gone on is stuff that I don't really feel comfortable putting on the internet, but trust me, if you are reading this you probably already know everything.
Well enough about that somewhat upsetting subject...
This semester I'm taking a gender studies class. It is probably the only class that I have ever enjoyed the readings for. Reading about people and the way they feel and the way they are discriminated against is so interesting. (Which sounds awful, but I feel for them.) It is so interesting the way that some girls are interested in other girls in a sexual way. Like no offense, girls, but I just can't even imagine touching a girl in that way. Yeah, I've made out with girls, and its kinda weird. Anywho, its also interesting that people are not comfortable in the body they were born in. Like...sometimes I wanna change my hair color or my clothing style. You know, try something knew by playing up different parts of my body. But completely changing my anatomy? No. I can't even fathom that.
So...what else is new but happy in my life? I started working a the Panera down here. I am actually really enjoying it. I feel like I am respected for what I know. The people here are great. And I am getting more and more comfortable with all of the differences. Yesterday, my GM, Erica, actually asked me for suggestions about things that we could change down here in Bloomington. Obviously, I pulled from my Greenwood Panera memories. She was actually super excited about my ideas and is going to try some of them out. So thats good.
I really miss my sister. Not only does she live an hour away, but she has been out of town for a week. I really really can't wait for her to come hang out with me. Maybe I can convince her to some this weekend!
Hm... I love Bloomington. I love my apartment and my awesome roommate, Lindsey. I love all of my other friends. I love Erin. I love Carolyn. I love waking up everyday and having something to do with my day. Some reason to get up. Some life to look foreword to. Life is just really good right now, even if there has been a lot of drama and shit going on.
I was listening to a song the other day and it really hit me hard.
"It just takes some time. Little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything will be alright. Everything will be just fine."
