I really wasn't going to post in here, but I felt a need. Too many things going on, too many emotions. I feel like everything sucks right now, but I know it's not true. I know I feel like it because everything's changing and I'm moving away from home for the first time. And this isn't just some week at summer camp (which was my first experience

So I definitely just posted an entry very similar to yours. I feel exactly the same as you - still excited, but really sad and afraid I'm not going to make friends beyond my roommate. Don't worry, we'll get through it together. :) If you need to, e-mail me and let me know how it's going, and we'll keep in touch.

I just read and replied to your post, and then came and read this comment. :-) I've been meaning to e-mail you anyway (for like the whole summer, I suck, I know), so yeah, I'll definitely do that once I'm settled.

[ex_enidjane226]

You should give me your school address, and I'll mail you copies of all the Ben Folds Five CDs (you don't have any of the band's, right, just Rockin' the Suburbs?). And whatever else you want that I might have. See, I made copies of most of my CDs this summer thinking I would take them to school and not have to take CDs back and forth, but then I realized I can just put all this music on my computer, and I'm not really going to use my discman or whatever very much. So I actually have extra copies of all these CDs lying around, and it's no trouble mailing them to you.

... yeah.

[music_chick_2]

Again, yay and thank you. :-P

Hey

[music_chick_2]

*muah* I love you. :-)

Thanks. Things are going well, as you may or may not be reading. I was just doing my usual "oh my god, crazy!!" post that night, you know. :-)

Oh, sweetie. You know what is the best part about first going way to school? There are a gazillion other people there, thinking exactly what you're thinking. So you're all there together, going to the same classes, living in the same dorms, on the same floors, all out of their elements and trying to make something of it all. I met most of my good friends throughout college in the first 2-3 months. In fact, Izah and I hit off immediately - or at least were very nice and fun together until we realized this was a real friendship - and we met Julie and Carrie, who we were practically inseperable from for 2 years, that very first weekend because they were our neighbors

[music_chick_2]

Aww, thank you. I love you muchly, Amy. :-)

So, was Izah your roommate? See, that'[s the thing about Jenny. She's all hanging out with everyone, but never asked me if I wanted to do anything. I figured, you know, we're both freshmen, and we don't kn ow anyone here, so we'll end up hanging out together, at least at first. But she's just like all over the place with all these new friends and not me. Which is kind of crappy. But I'm doing really well on my own, so once I figured out that's how it was going to be, I was okay with it.

But yeah, things are good now. I think. I hope. :-)

[babyomlet]

Yeah Izah was my roommate. From day one. And we've made it this far to where we email each other every day at work!

As far as Jenny, you could always ask to hang out sometimes - either with her and the new friends, or even as a special aside to her own plans. And sometimes (this is stupid after I made the big point about how well Izah and I hit it off) you get a roommate who you get along with fine, but you find different interests so you kinda do your own things, but are still pals inside the room. It's also still early, before the homework comes in and stress hits, and you're stuck int he room all by yourself.

I hope things keep going better ... and you can always just drop me a line in email or whatever to just say whatever you want, because I've been there.

Well, now...

... I have already blasted on the pian-pian in the lounge once- soon to go again. Just come on in and ask whomever is there to introduce himself (if it's obviously a girl, it's obviously not me.) Don't be afraid of people- introduce yourself. I found last year that most people are afraid of you if you're not afraid of them, and I didn't like that. Now, I think that was silly of me and that I should have used that to my advantage. Be confident and use your dominance to YOUR advantage.

Re: Well, now...

[music_chick_2]

Dominance? I have no dominance. :-D No, but seriously dude...give me your room number. My classes end at noon tomorrow (well, technically 11:50) (oh, and by tomorrow I mean Friday), and then I'm going to go do a couple of things at Haas. And then, we should go eat lunch. Because I have no one to eat lunch with tomorrow at the moment. I'll meet you wherever, if you want. Let me know. Otherwise, if you can't make lunch, or don't want to eat with me, I swear I'll come try and find you. Because this is silly. Of me, I mean. Not you. :-)
