STOP........reflection time
Well let's see. I just got home from my orientation. Hmm, what to say about it...well, it was interesting..slightly. For the most part it was actually rather boring; structured, tedious lectures and such. I guess overall it was a good thing, i do feel a little bit more comfortable about going there in the fall..everyone seems to really love UB. I think i can get into to it too.
The people seemed generally friendly yet somewhat awkward, but that goes without saying. I met a few cool kids i guess, not that im ever going to see them again, but still..i did finally manage to find people to talk to. Orientation really got me thinking though....thinking about my friends (back home). I don't think i'd call it taking my friends for granted, but i guess i realized how much i truly appreciate every one of my friends' uniqueness. As i was going through the people at Buffalo and hanging out with them for two days, it really hit me hard how completely one-of-a-kind all of my friends are. NO one that i'm going to meet at college is EVER going to even come close to matching up to my friends' personalities. I love the quirkiness and differences my friends have, and it's suddenly becoming a bitter reality that i'm not gonna have these people right at my fingertips anymore. Sure there's facebook and AIM and cell phones...but it's just not gonna be the same. Life in Buffalo will never be the same as it is now. i'm going to miss every aspect of each of my friends so much when we all go to college. I can always count on the people here in penfield, and it's going to be so hard to start over and find new personalities to match with.
So in conclusion, i must be sappy and say I love you all. Thank you for everything.
