Unfamiliarity
I have now moved to Knoxville. I feel kinda lonely and definitely distant from everything familiar to me, but I somehow know everything is going to work out. This is where I am supposed to be right now. I need to learn how to be alone for a little while.
The good news is that I know I will make friends soon. A group of law students is meeting tonight at Mellow Mushroom because we met on Facebook. How cool is that?
Also, my roommate is very friendly. I was a little apprehensive at first because she is from Iran, and I didn't know if our differences would compliment each other. We get along very well though. She is very clean and hospitable. When Will left, I was upset, and she really put things in perspective for me by telling me she was a 24 hour plane ride from her family. She also included me in an outing, and really made me feel welcome. I think it's going to be a good thing.
I have no doubt that these friends will never replace my relationships that I made at Martin, especially my first year there. Those friendships are something that I hold very precious, but I hope that I will find companionship, laughter, support, and comfort in the new friendships that I will make.
