And it was Good
It's just after 9:00AM and already I'm having a good day. I went to my 8:00AM Religion 150 class this morning, my prof handed back our exams with warning that we had not done well. I got mine back, "And God said it was GOOD!". I got 90% in case you're wondering.
My friends from school went out to the bar last night. I just can't figure out how someone can go out until 3:00AM drinking, and still manage to make it to their 8:00AM class. I've only seen one person do that so far, everyone else is still sleeping. It's therefore really quiet this morning.
I didn't realize how difficult it would be to go to university and not drink. Everyone I know drinks (especially in dorm). It's not that they're pressuring me to drink, but I still feel like an outcast when it's painfully obvious that I'm not drinking. I also feel like a loser because I hate dance clubs, and that's where they go! I don't mind sports bars and pubs and what not, but I despise dance clubs. Don't worry, I'm not questioning my solidership or anything. It's just a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. At least I'm in an alcohol-free dorm, that makes things easier.

Nav, I've been a Salvationist all my life, I just turned 50 and there are still times when I feel like the odd man out around drinkers. That's not to be discouraging by making you think that this will be a struggle until you're at least as "ancient" as I am. ;) I think it's just one of those things where the idea of taking a vow not to drink is difficult for people to understand.
I've had friends show up for dinner saying something like, "We know you don't drink, so we brought you a bottle of wine instead"!?!?!? What part of "I don't' drink" don't you understand? ;) I've also had it work the other way where friends who drink are uncomfortable around us and apologize or ask permission before drinking.
