Well, the first few days of college have struck their mark. Although I'm still at home and never actually said "goodbye" to anyone, I feel more separated from the people of my high school. It feels like that was the past and that's where it will stay. Of course, I'm saddened by this, but at the same time, I'm incredibly relieved to be getting the new start I've been dying for in the last three/four years. I miss everyone, don't get me wrong, but I've needed some fresh air for a long time, some space to realize myself. At the same time, I don't know how to socialize with new people. I never actually learned. I've been with the same exact people for the past seven years. I think the only completely random connections I made were in seventh grade with Miranda, and in nineth grade with various people. Since then, I haven't had the opportunity, nor the courage. Keep in mind that I am naturally shy, even if most people don't see it. So far, I've made the acquaintance of one person. Her name is Sarah and she has been in tribal belly dancing for years. She wears shells in her hair and dresses with lots of hemp accessories. She's two years older than me, and I met her on the bus on the way to my Brazillian dance class. I love that class, by the way.

My Schedule:

Mon-Thus: Calculus 2
Mon/Wed: Brazillian Dance
Tue/Thurs: English 1 and History of Science

I was going to take an online speed reading/vocab building course, but I have to read an extra five books for it, so I think it's excessive.
