Making friends is haaaaaard
So I've slowly come to the realization that I probably have awful people skills. Unless I'm around people I know really well or in a comfortable setting, like work, I have a hard time connecting, talking, approaching or otherwise interacting with new people.
This realization has come even faster since I moved to school. Everyone's nice to me, and I'm nice back, I just don't feel like I'm really connecting with people. I'm kind of awkward in social situations, and it's hard for me to just wlak into someone's room, even if it's my suitemates. I feel like, I don't know these people, why would they want me to just waltz into their room and hang out?
I have serious anxiety issues. I really hope that as time progresses I get better at this and I make some friends. It would be awful to live here for two years and not make any friends. Not to mention there are a few people from home that I know go here and I have yet to approach them. My take on that is always, 'well they haven't approached me either, maybe they don't want to hang out with me.'
I'm a huge weiner.
In other, less depressing news, Bill and I went to the State Fair yesterday. The weather forecast predicted heavy rain, but we braved it anyways, because he'd never been, and I hadn't seen him in a few days, and we wouldn't have another chance to go. It ended up not raining all day and we had a great time, despite my extreme exhaustion.
We also saw the cutest bunny ever. It was so little and brown and it was hopping all over it's cage and came right up to us and let us touch it. I walked in there saying that I hated bunnies because they were boring but I wanted to take that one home.
So, I've been getting these headaches lately. Actually, I've been getting them for a while. I thought at first, that it was because the prescription for my glasses was outdated and that when I went back to the eye doctor, it would get better. However, they've been recurring again. I've had a headache for the last four days or so. It goes away with Tylenol or whatever, but it just comes right back again the next day. Weird, I think I should see a doctor, but I don't know if I'm just overreacting.
Ah, well, back to reading for class...I'm not even past the introduction yet.
