The summer ends and we wonder where we are
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car
And you both look so young
And last night was hard you said
You packed up every room
And then you cried into bed
But today you closed the door
And said we have to get a move on
It’s just that time of year
When we push ourselves ahead
We push ourselves ahead
It was cloudy in the morning
And it rained as you drove away
The same things look different
It’s the end of the summer
It’s the end of the summer
When you move to another place
Summer has come to an end and I'm back living on Brandeis campus.
Just saying that puts weight onto my shoulders. One and a half years left. They're going to fly by.
Moving in was a pain. Marcus and Alice didn't put my name on the list for early move-in and I was almost denied housing until Tuesday. With enough arguing w. one of the deans, I'm not living in Charles River Apt. 178 114-4A. The suite is incredibly empty and lonely. Thank goodness for Oscar, who has taken over Lisa's room for the time being. I just talk loudly as I lay in bed and I know he listens in his hedgehog way. I can only imagine once Lisa gets back and we go back to having nightly roommate conversations. No one has faith that this arrangement will work, but I think it'll be a fabulous suite.
QRC Training has been ... well, it's been. I feel like I learned more in an hour of FCHC training, but I suppose that's too be expected. I don't much care for any of the other counselors, save Marcus. I really hope I have office hours w. him or at least w. Rayna, Michelle, or Aviva in the SSIS office. Training goes from approximately 10AM until 5PM. Afterwards, I just drive back to the suite, cook dinner, and unpack. I have so much stuff here w. me. I forgot I even had most of this in the apartment at Kathy's. I hate living from boxes. I want one of these rooms to feel like home to me. I was just starting to become attached to Reitman 319 at the end of the past semester. So many good memories there; so many good moments w. amazing people. I can only hope for the best for this year, even if there are huge gaps in my Brandeisian life now.
I've taken the week off from the lab. Not surprisingly, I miss Vinny. He's become a close friend to me. It's odd to me to be so close to my "boss," though he's really my mentor. I may even go to his house tomorrow after training instead of unpacking.
Freshmen arrive tomorrow. That's going to be interesting. More faces on campus of people I will never met. I guess that's another con to this whole immersion in science classes deal; not many underclassmen to meet.
I suppose that's all the update I've got for now. I wish there were more interesting things to comment on, but the days are just passing by.
