Pride and Prejudice

There are at least two things that I need to learn. One is humility and the other is how and when to keep my big mouth shut. I've been less mindful lately and acting on impulse more than I usually do; it's probably symptomatic of being around a bunch of new people that don't really know me. It's easy to take shortcuts with people you are close to, but when you do the same thing around people that you don't really know very well, there's something lost in the translation.

I've also pissed off my roommate (the one I don't know, not the one I'm friends with) at least twice by being a complete dunderhead. I'm not really sure why it's always her that seems to bear the brunt of my obliviousness, but I've definitely come face-to-face with the outward appearance of my actions as of late, and they don't always reflect the good intentions I sincerely have.

I've got to buckle down on the studying front, too. I'm not here for but 5 weeks, and I've got a lot of proving of myself to do. Yikes.
