look, quiz, how cool

One of the major problems with having a weird sleeping schedule on the weekends is the social isolation. See, I go to bed at about 8 in the morning, wake up at 4 in the afternoon, and eat breakfast at 6, when everyone else is having dinner. By the time I'm fed up with homework and feel like talking, everyone's gone to bed. Except for [livejournal.com profile] stargurl137, who's apparently got the same weird-ass schedule as me.

And just so y'all know, I have an unusual amount of homework that I don't want to do, so I'll be on YIM and willing to be distracted all night tonight.

perspective

Ironically, college is making me intellectually stagnant. I no longer process any new information, instead going over old ideas ad infinitum until every possible connection and perspective is completely worn to shreds. I don't even read the newspaper anymore because I don't have time in between classes. I am completely and totally uninformed about the world in general. College is putting a layer of insulation between the immature intellectual and social wankery of the campus and the actual real world, where things get done and ideas are born.
I can't even talk anymore. I take notes and absorb things and mentally treat the other person like one of my professors. If I do say anything, it's either reactionary disagreement, a completely irrelevant personal anecdote, or vague reassurance. I'm socially passive and disappointing.

I have no idea how to change this. Is there anyone out there who knew me when I was interesting? Do you remember what I was like?
