Under a bridge to avoid the rain.

So, it's like...day 3 now? This whole thing is so...new. Such a new experience. Lots of little new experiences, and I'm trying to hold on to them all and I just can't take it. There was a girl with bright brown eyes and a Jennyish face, and a guy who gave his lunch away to a total stranger out of the goodness of his heart. There were blurry lights, and dizzy cars, last minute warnings, and shifting mazes of people, each one on his or her own cloud. I watched mean girls, and laughed in unison. I ignored a joke, embarressed and laughed at myself. I've wanting for friends more than I've ever had in my life, and I think I'm making them, if at a racewalking pace.

I've been going from moments of being joyously lost in the maze of new people to moments of desperately hoping that the person I ate lunch with will want to talk to me again.

I'm so excited and scared at the same time.
