Second hit

Aug 22, 2004 22:29

So it hit me again while I was unpacking my stuff in my new dorm, which by the way is extremely clean and beautiful and has air conditioning and is very comfortable. Every new student got a little caribeener to put our keys on, and I was transferring my old keys and rings onto it. When I saw that I had left so many keys on my old keychain, like both housekeys, both car keys, and various locks, I realized that I would not be setting foot in my old familiar home for a long time, or my beautiful little Civic, and I thought about how much I would miss them for the next four months, nevermind the next four years. I am glad that I did bring so many decorations, pictures, and little treasures from home, and it's very fun to rearrange my room and start with a clean desk and a cleaner slate (except for the required reading book that the college just completely neglected to send me). Meh... the desks aren't that clean. There's not quite enough room in my dorm to put out the folding backside of the desk and make it bigger, but it's just fine as it is with a small ledge and a built-in corkboard. I am enjoying the comfort of internet through Ethernet rather than wireless, as I have an unusually strong internet connection. Still though, I can't imagine how it will feel to walk through my old front door, sit in my old car (DanDan better take good care of that thing), sleep in my old bed in my old room again... I miss it a little. I've been kind of up and down these last few days, luckily I was more on the up side when my parents said goodbye, and I didn't cry or anything. I'd better call them now, just to check in. I could have up to 9 hours of Placement tests tomorrow, starting at 8 am. I'm gonna call my folks and cram some calculus.
