Smile C:

Wed Sep 2, 2009, 6:39 PM
  • Mood: Shame
  • Listening to: Just Be Friends - ZEBRA and Rap-Bit
  • Reading: Uni-related books like Global Sociology. Fun |D
  • Watching: Doctor Who Season 3, Torchwood
  • Eating: A doughnut~
  • Drinking: Nothing, I'm at Uni presently
Seriously. Try and smile more C: It can really make someone's day, and it should make you feel better too.

There's so many small gestures we do that can have positive effects on others. So many things like manners, which many seem not to use anymore. A simple thank you, or a seemingly normal gesture like holding the bus door open for the next person getting out. These are just a few of the small things that make me feel happy inside.

It's almost the end of week 6 already, time is flying along at incredible speeds. I've settled into this semester of Uni now, and I think, think think think, I've made a friend! Her name is Jennifer, though she goes by Jenny (ffffff), and she's really into anime and comic books and stuff. She's in my Introduction to Film and Television class, which I'm really enjoying. We have to work in groups of three, and while I usually dread group work, my group is really nice and we all get along. A lot of the people in my Japanese class are really awesome too, so maybe I'll make some new friends there as well.

I also have to admit I'm starting to enjoy driving. It's still scary, and I'm still really reliant on the person in the passenger seat, but I feel like I'm getting there. At least, I'm keeping on the left side of the road now, and away from the gutter.

How are you all going? C:

Driving is super scary. D: But I'm told you get used to it after a while.

I'm glad you're settling into university, and that you've made a friend. I wish you luck on the rest of year and in all your courses, of course. :)

-laughs- Driving in Las Vegas is scary as hell.

And yah.... ^^;; with school starting everyone is all smiley. But that will die around two or three weeks in.

I try to smile, I really do, but there's something about the university atmosphere that makes me a really grumpy git. I think it's because everyone there seems to be enjoying themselves! Eh, I'm probably just bitter as most students attend lectures and then go get wasted, whereas I attend lectures and then spend 45 minutes driving home on the motorway!

I do hold doors open though! Although I suspect that's more so I can mentally grumble when someone doesn't say "thanks" to me for doing so.

Sounds like you're having a blast, though! I'll let you know if I happen to meet a new classmate called Ralph or Ivan. ;)

Jessicaaa~ C:
It sounds like you're pretty happy.
I'm glad. C:

I'm in a similar situation with driving.
I'm actually in the process of getting a car right now, but since I've been out of practice driving, I need to practice before I get behind the wheel of my new ride.

Hang in there.
Keep smilin' and I promise I will, too. C:
:iconhikarino:
Ah o-o I've always imagined driving in America would be scary...

xDDD But I'm in Austraaaalia, and for us school starts at the -beginning- of the year. It's not that everyone's smiley, just that it's nice when people do smile.
:iconhikarino:
Ahaa... I guess I don't get that bitterness since I don't drink, though everyone around here likes to go get drunk every day too. I spend 45 minutes to an hour getting home by bus, though it would only take 15-20 minutes to drive.

At least you do it~

That would be epic xD
:iconhikarino:
I've been told the same, and it looks like it will end up being true~

Thanks~ Same to you with your schooling :3
:iconhikarino:
I am. I really am. I've been letting some things get me down lately, but when I look at all the things I have to be happy about, it just makes me feel so much better.

Ooh, so you are definitely getting a car then? I'm sure you'll get back into practice quickly enough. Especially with that as incentive.

Thanks Tommy. I will, so you better keep that promise! :3
:iconband-aidbandit:
foo... I think las Vegas is just scary...

Maybe New York City also... and I guess some people would call California scary but they really don't think about the traffic. So it's more frustrating than scary.
