Well, this is long overdue, so here it goes!
Things are going SO MUCH BETTER here. Its great. It also doesn't hurt that i'm living in the same dorm that trent lived in last year, so i'm familiar with the area. My roomate is cool, she's nice, and i like her. We get along and i don't anticipate any major problems, so that's good. We go to bed a different times but she's so good about being quiet that i barely hear her, and i (wisely) invested in one of those sleep masks that covers your eyes to block out light, so even though its kind of a grandma thing to do, it helps so much.
I'm slowly but surely meeting people, making acquaintances and on my way to making friends. When i first came up here on friday to look at my room, two girls from down the hall, Anna and Jessica, came by to say hey. Anna has been wonderful, like my social coordinator. She is SO SWEET and i'm so grateful for her, for being so nice. Her door is always open, she's always available to chat, and she makes sure that i'm introduced to anyone who walks by or anyone who might share my interests. So i know a few girls on my hall and hopefully we will become good friends!!
I'm going to Wesley tonight with one of them, her name is Malia and she seems sweet too. I asked her if she wanted to go to dinner with me tonight and she seemed so excited, so that was a relief. I'm glad that people on this hall are welcoming and nice (most of them at least. Some of them, as expected, just keep to themselves, but whatever). And Trent has been wonderful about not interfering with me making friends, so that's very helpful as well. He understands that i need and want to make friends here, so that's great. I'm glad that i chose to live in a dorm (i never thought i would say that!) instead of an apartment, because there's probably no way that i would make friends otherwise. And i'm looking forward to meeting even more people tonight at Wesley.
My classes are going to require work (especially spanish! eek!), and lots of volunteer work required as well, but it all seems managable hopefully. Thank god i don't have to have a job as well, or i might die though. I'm beginning to get comfortable, ever so slightly, with the campus and alla that. I can't wait to get into a routine though, that's just how i work. I thankfully got all the classes i need, i was kind of freaking out about that one, and my schedule is not too bad. With the exception of one class on monday from 5 to 8, my other classes are back to back, so it gets done quicker, and i like that.
I do miss gcsu a little (never thought i'd say that either!) just because it was familiar and i like things that are familiar. BUT things are going good here and i think it'll work out. PLUS it is so great to see trent during the weekday. I get to see him multiple times a day if i want! Its great. Its a little weird at first just cuz i'm not used to it, but i'll, well, get used to it! In a good way! Its nice. Its also a little weird because i'm living in his old dorm, so i'm the host and he's the visitor instead of the other way around. The first couple of days (what am i saying? its still the first couple of days! you know what i mean) were weird, kind of surreal. I couldn't really grasp that i was at UGA full time. For real. And not just visiting. Its still kind of hard for me to grasp that this is MY school too.
To recap, things are going great, and i'm having NONE of the winter blues/depression that i struggled with so hard last semester. Oh, i still fret from time to time about not making friends and being lonely, but this time, i have trent, therefore i'm more comfortable, and confident, and this time i know that i must be a little assertive and take it into my own hands in regards to making friends. I know that i need to put myself out there and make myself available.
Now i must go because i'm fixing to go eat and then go to Wesley! Wish me luck!!
