day 2 of orientation
so yesterday was day 2 of orientation. it wasn't too bad. first i had to go to this play thing about safety and making the right decisions on campus concerning, drugs and alcohol. it was pretty much the same things we've been learning about forever, except they made it interesting and entertaining by acting out skits and plays about real life situations that happened on campus. so after that was over, i met up with chris and he asked me if i could tutor him for his math proctored exam so we went to the library to get a computer, but of course it was packed so we left and ended up walking around the campus for an hour looking for a computer to use. finally, patricia told us that the library was empty so we went there and i tutored him and made $20! then i had to go to a meeting about my learning community. i met my teacher.. he is really cool! and the kids in my class seem really nice also. one of the purposes of this group is to make new friends, so i hope it works! after that was over, i came home and went swimming and hung out with my family. it was a nice day. i still dont know what to think about college. it's ok, but i still feel lost and overwhelmed. i am also scared that i wont be able to meet new friends b/c i am commuting. but there are lots of other people commuting and i am going to get involed and join clubs and activities so i guess i will meet people that way! i hope! i just think i am trying to rush things and make things happen too fast, i mean i've only been on campus for 2 days. i just wish that i can skip all the steps of making friends and getting used to things and go right to the part where i have friends and am comfortable and feel at home just like i was at hauppauge!
