eric came this weekend and that made life a little bit better. he stayed saturday night and sunday night, and we went all over the city and then to greensburgh for a bit. i'm also starting to meet some cool people. orientation starts this week, and i'm honestly a bit nervous about it. too much structure and too many strangers. well, i'll get over it. i'm also thinking i may want to change my schedule a little, but i'm not sure if i can get away with that at this point...
