gah sounds bloody awful. good on you for making it through AND winning! wow!

i had a similar… only different,,, experience when i first moved to japan. i was in a room full of people from different countries none of which even remotely understood me. and i was scared of never fitting in… daunting!!

That’s exactly what I was doing. The whole first two days was like one big cringe. I really didn’t fit in there. And I NEVER have problems making friends, so to feel out of place amongst nearly 100 people was a new, and very disconcerting, feeling for me.

Ahh first-years…it’s kinda disconcerting having to listen to them prattle on about like, how like, totally, like, drunk they want to get. I don’t want to sound like a bitter old crone but I do have to cringe a little whenever I run into people like that. Thank goodness there wasn’t any regurgitated vodka in your room though!!!

Congratulations on winning the case comp!!! I’m in total awe of people who can (a) think on their feet; and (b) speak confidently in public. You go girl!!!

Aww… looks like your weekend wasnt that fun. Its so weird and annoying to share a room with complete strangers. And if you are like me, who is so used to privacy, her own bedroom with a double bed… you would hate it. But the thing is you are just getting started with this and as you go on things will get even more hectic unfortunately.

Yeah, I think this requirement is going to be the bane of my existence from this point on in my life. The more successful I become, the harder it is going to be. And it’s not like this is an artificial requirement. It’s not like I could meet a hot, dumb guy and be attracted. I physically don’t feel attracted to people who don’t have some minimum level of ambition and success potential.
On the other hand, it is practical, for us women at least, to want a guy who can make more money than us. Because that could be a serious source of resentment in the relationship otherwise.

sounds like a not so fun weekend…too bad, cause it could have some really good possibilities.
as for the ambitious guys–i find ambition in a man to be uber attractive. like, seriously. i think that’s what separates the boys from the men. I want a guy who is going to be smarter than me (and i think i’m pretty smart, so these are some tough shoes to fill) and I also want a man who will be more successful than me, and make more money than me. I think girls have to look up to their men, or else the whole …I dunno what it’s called, the balance? it’s off…
