i'm at college, it's the beginning of my third day here. we arrived at 1:30 on friday. we had to rush so much and get things ready since we'd been slowed down by the rain on the drive here. so with my hall we've been just doing orienation stuff. it kind of sucks, it's so boring and even though we're surrounded with people we don't really know that many people. i really can't wait until classes start and i can actually start making friends instead of making the same small talk with the same people. i think once classes start it'll be easier to meet people with whom i have something in common. i've seen omar twice and sam once. i'm so happy omar's here, i dunno what i'd do without him haha because it's nice to have someone you already know. also dan from ushsd came to visit me on friday night since he lives near here and was going to leave for uva the next day. it was really nice to see a familiar face again.
it was so hard to say goodbye to my parents. they stayed the night on friday and they basically set up my whole room since we were late and didn't have time. we had dinner together on friday night and i was getting a little depressed. i'm ok now but i still can't believe i won't be home until october.. they were so sweet to me, and especially my mom was hard to say goodbye. i love her so much and she's going to switzerland today so i don't know how much we're gonna talk since she's that far away. eric was also really kind and set up my computer and everything. i miss him and i feel bad that i was kind of mean to him this summer.
today we were allowed to sleep in since it's sunday. i wanted to go to church but i was so tired. last night i went to omar's room and met his roommate and some other guys. i have to say i felt much more comfortable with them than with most other people i've met. actually i don't know because i've been meeting people and i haven't felt strange around anyone or anything, it's just strange here at orientation. i don't feel so bad because my student advisor told me that orientation sucks, and that life gets a lot better after the first week. thank god.
