Feels so good to be home…
So one of my New Year’s resolutions for the year 2009 was to start a blog. Everyone on PT5 does it and since I would be on their floor if I had a vagina…I decided that I should start my own and I decided that the perfect time to begin my blog would be after the second semester started.
It feels so good to be home. I think I can honestly say that Miami quickly began my home. I mean I felt right at home the first time I ever set foot on campus way back in the spring of 2007. After my first visit I knew that this is where I would end up going to school and that is why I applied here Early Decision. Anyways…enough about that. It really is nice being back at school. I never thought I would meet such an amazing group of human beings down here. Being a month away from them was one of the hardest things ever. I have only known my friends down here for 5 months but after living with people and seeing them every single day, you see just how quickly these people become not only friends, but also family. I told some people back at home that being away from my Miami crowd for only a month is harder than being away from the friends that I have grown up with for four.
The second semester has officially begun. My classes are very good…well except for economics. The teacher is a grad student and has no personality and is just all around boring. I must say that I am proud of myself for being able to get up and out of bed the past two mornings in order to get to my 8am on time…which I sadly have 5 days a week. I must say though, today was a fabulous day and I think I might enjoy the 8am 5 days a week. I finished class at 11 today and went to the gym. I repeat, finished class at 11 today and went to the gym. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Matthew Gaston Perreault went to the gym today. It feels soo good working out. Like I am very glad I decided to go because I felt so good afterwards. All morning in my classes…mostly economics because I was bored and sleepy…I was thinking that I would skip the gym but then something inside me shouted out “NO!” and I got into my gym clothes and elipticalled for 45 minutes. I don’t know how far I went or how many calories I burned because as I was beginning my cool down, a cute gay boy sat on the bench waiting for a machine to free up and our eyes met and I got off mine to give it to him and forgot to check and see my progress. If he’ll be there every morning then I think I will definitely be going to the gym more often. Along with the gym, my goal is to eat healthier. Last semester my diet consisted of cheeseburgers for lunch and dinner along with a slice of pizza or two and what ever else I felt like eating. I have been home since saturday and I am proud to say that I have yet to consume a cheeseburger from the grille in shartys. I also have cut soda out of my diet since being back and have been very successful with that. I am not so much concerned about losing weight, I just want to slim down and look good. I refuse to buy clothes until I am satisfied with my body. I know I can do it. It has been kind of hard and the caffeine headaches are kicking in but I can fight them and succeed.
Earlier today I made an executive decision NOT to rush a fraternity. As much as I love the idea of having a brotherhood and group of guys to hang out with, I realized that the rush process just isn’t my thing. I really think that I would do well in a frat and that a lot of people would respect me and actually want me in theirs. I would definitely be good with the social aspects and could throw parties and mixers and what not and also help out a great deal with the community service. The reason why I am not rushing is because the rush events make me feel uncomfortable. I am not one to go out and play sports and when I meet guys for the first time I tense up and get nervous. I never had straight guy friends growing up and since I got to school I have made many. It is nice to see that people like me for me and it feels great to be accepted. I really like talking to all the guys on my floor and well as other guy friends I made throughout the semester last year. I feel like if the frats saw me at parties and in social settings then they would definitely want to call me a brother. I am glad though that you don’t need to be involved in greek life in order to fit in here. Maybe I will decide to rush in the fall. I am probably going to rush the business fraternity here at UM. It is coed and that is better for me!
I am glad I started this blog and I look forward to updating daily. I find it nice to be able to sit down and type out what is on my mind and what happened to me during the day. I hope the PT5 girls will bookmark me and continue to check up and see what I have been posting. I have rambled on a great deal today and think that now is a good place to say goodbye. Until tomorrow…
You Know You Love Me,
XOXO…The Boy That Everyone Loves
