So in the beginning this whole college thing was a strange deja vu of everything else I've been to. Welcome Week was tight scheduling and eating as a large group like TI, and being on the same floor as boys was just like Key Club. But there was something different. Both in TI and Key Club, you weren't really allowed in other boys rooms. You weren't allowed to stay up as late as you wanted and have co-ed sleepovers, let alone sleep in the same bed as another boy. You weren't allowed to curse or run around the halls or do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted.
It's taken some time to get used to the fact that I have so much more freedom. I am so used to living away from home, be it monthly board meetings, conventions, and other trips away from home. But this is something completely different and new.
My classes are going well. Homework load is manageable, I'm just trying to discipline myself to be able to do my homework on time and not procrastinate. Friends are amazing. It's amazing to be in a place where people care about me and actually want to hang out with me. I keep my door open basically all the time and people are always stopping by. I love it. I feel that I've found a really good group of kids on my floor that I really enjoy spending time with. I've also begun to branch out. Last week was my first 'non-T8' meal, since of course my floor always eats together, be it with one or two other people, or 10 others. Those numbers of non-T8 meals are increasing and I like that I'm making friends outside my floor.
I've officially joined All College Theatre and TCNJ Musical Theatre. Circle K I'm technically a part of, though I haven't been to a meeting yet because of the conflict with TMT last week. Went to the ACT 'Cookie Social' last week and that was pretty awesome. The group seems a lot of fun. Most of them are in TMT also so that's also good. I will be playing piano in the pit band for "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." As the musical director [Brian, a sophomore] told me, I'm the most important part of the show, besides him. So that's a good amount of pressure. But I'll be okay. At least I'm familiar with the show and have played some of the stuff before. But it's going to take a lot of time and work.
I may be playing piano for the Hills concerts, yet again. We'll see if things work out with scheduling and such. I have to look at my calendar. It's right around the time of Charlie Brown so I have to see how I'll work all that out. If that did happen I'd be getting paid which is looking promising, as my bank account is depleting since we order out food about once a week.
As far as friends from other places go, I miss some people a lot. After seeing certain people so much this summer it's hard to not be able to talk to them every day or things like that. Wyatt is coming up to visit next weekend. Bria and Eric and James are all coming to the Open House Sunday. Fall break I'm going up to see Chelsea. October 29th I'm going to the marching band competition at Rowan as long as everything works out. Things are looking promising.
Well enough procrastinating for me. I hope everyone is enjoying school and whatever else they are up to.
