The world is moving slowly.
The first thing that's made me very happy is that I finally have internet in my room. I got it on Tuesday and the net and I have been inseperable ever since. Except when I go to dinner and meet tons of new friends. That's the other thing that's made me happy. Friends.
Lately, I can either be found sitting in my room not doing homework, going to class, or hanging out with a bunch of great people that I've met. The cafeteria is an amazing thing. I'll sit down with one person and by the end of the meal, that person's friends will have joined us and I'll leave knowing about 4 more people than I did when walking in. Yesterday, especially, was a good meal. It was a "cruise themed" dinner and there was a DJ in the cafeteria and everything. I was sitting with a group of people and made them all laugh ... a lot. I felt proud.
So today marks one week here at college. I have to admit, this week went incredibly slow. I can't believe it's only Thursday. Things are moving listlessly, and it's making me realy anxious. I feel like I'll never get back to Cherry Hill. I miss my family and friends. I miss my pets and staying up playing with them. I miss Wawa and 3 am hoagie runs. I miss driving aimlessly in my car with one of the people I miss the most. I miss laughing at the dumbest things with some of the brightest people. I miss hanging out with Mike and Dave late at night and talking about nothing at all. I miss Mafia and the hardcore arguments that it evolved into. I miss my messy bedroom and how my cat would hide under my bed. I miss it. I miss it a lot. Marywood is nice, but Cherry Hill is better.
But you know what? Things could be a lot worse here. I've only been here a week and things are already changing for the better. Imagine where I'll be next week. And I can be sure that when I come home on October 14th, all those things that I miss will be right there where I left them.
