A weekend to myself???

Dec 05, 2008 15:55

So, for the first time since I've moved in, both of my roommates will be gone this weekend. I'll have the whole house to myself, and won't have much to do except help my friend who's getting married move some stuff on Saturday during the day. This will be one of the few times since I have left for college that I will be alone. Otherwise, I've constantly been with people or around people all the time except when I close my door to go to sleep.

After living in the dorm, and hopping from roommate to roommate, I seem to have transformed from a quiet, individualistic introvert to very much an extrovert. It doesn't really hit home with me except at times like these where I get home and there is no one there, and there is nobody that I have plans to go see. It makes me deeply sad, which is a new thing, and I have a hard time doing things like reading or watching a movie or sitting around and thinking (the things I used to do by default). Instead, I am very disappointed when I come home and there's nobody there, and nobody that I'm going to see.

I LIKE PEOPLE! They are, across the board, a delight, and I feel very isolated and sad when I don't get to see anybody in my free time. I kind of wander around listlessly and wonder who I haven't txted or called yet, actually.

After spending most of my life as an introvert, this is kind of a novel situation for me. We'll see how I cope with this weekend.
