So...... Georgia.....
Its not bad. Classes are going well, although they are an ass load of work. I pretty much expected that though, considering this is a graduate program and all. I didnt expect to float on through the way that I did with undergrad. The only thing that makes the program difficult to handle is that, unlike framinghams 15 week semesters, Im on 10 week quarters, so everything is condensed and theres no time to fool around.
Im meeting new people which is great, but Im still not entirely comfortable around them, being the new person and all. They all started the program in september, and now Im coming in in the middle of their year, after theyve already bonded. Although I must say, they are welcoming me, and inviting me out with them etc. so thats nice.
Roomates are great, weather is great, the smell isnt as bad as I thought it would be...
My only problem is that, and this is sad to say... it isnt new england.
Now, Ive always said that I needed to leave new england for a while, and thats true, I still believe it. Thing is I wanted to leave new england in order to realize how much I loved it there, and how good I had it. I didnt realize that I would come to that conclusion so soon after leaving. I dont have ANYTHING familiar down here at all. no friends, no job, no clubs, no nothing. Which is the only reason I think being down here is so tough for me right now. Im sure things will get better, in fact I know they will. Im going to get a job soon, which will give me some roots here, and Ill be involved in shows soon, which will be even better for social networking etc. and soon enough everything will start to feel like home. But right now, its just so incredibly difficult for me to get adjusted without having one IOTA of familiarty.
Despite all this, I am happy I am here, I expected most of what Im going through right now, and I know that it will soon subside. but do call me, text me, IM me, or email me often, because its good for me to hear from all of you. It haps me realize that although im physically alone down here, you all are still with me in heart and mind.
love love love times infinity.
