So, I'm still listening to sappy love songs and feeling a bit sorry for myself, but life, is on the up and up. This has been an awesome weekend. I made 10 new friends last night and it was really awesome. Tonight I hung out with Andy (I think he will be a really awesome friend) because he's super nice and he has the same sense of humor as me) and Matteo (he's in my group and seems really nice...I feel like he's laughing at me sometimes though, because of my accent when I drink). The accent was out in full force last night. I drank a lot, because it was happy hour for 4 HOURS! That means dollar drinks. I just drank beer, but I hadn't eaten that much all day, so I was drunk after like 5 beers and a shot, which is pathetic for me. I miss Him. A lot. I keep thinking about how things could work if I just put in some effort, but I know it's just silly. Anyway, today's entry isn't about him, it's about me acclimating myself to my new surroundings. I also went out to dinner with Karen tonight. We had crepes. I've never had crepes before, and it was fun. I took a cab for the first time yesterday, it was really fun, but really intimidating. I took one today too, and he didn't have change for a ten, so he told me to forget the fare, which was awesome.
I'm so glad I've made new friends, although I'm sad I haven't become better friends with more people in my section. Andy is super cool and I'm excited about watching football games with him. He seems like he'll be a great friend. And I would love to set him up with some of my friends because he seem like such a sweetheart.
Last night was a happy hour for T-law students at a place called McFaddon's (across town from my place) and it was really nice. I'm glad Philly is kind of a sports town, because I have something to talk about with people. Anyway, my friend Antonio had his name on the list at the bar next to McFaddon's, so we went there and enjoyed $1 drinks there from 8-10 (after the $1 drinks from 6-8 at McFaddon's). Antonio is totally going to be the most awesome connection in the city; he's the kind of guy who always has somewhere to be and always knows where there's a party. I just had an awesome weekend. My furniture came today, so it's nice to have that settled too (I even assembled my own coffee/end tables and bar stools, I felt very handy). I have to do a lot of work tomorrow, so I should go to bed, but I'm so glad things are starting to fall into place. I still miss Him, but I know things can get better and I hope that I'll get over him sometime soon.
