So I'm here at college...UNI to be exact. It's quite the interesting trip so far. I've not made too many new friends yet, but a couple that I can say hi to whenever I see them around. I figure as soon as classes start I'll be meeting new friends left and right.
Lately I've been hanging out with Erin, Laura, Megan Malone, Theresa Larew, and Aubrey Reser. I've only been hanging out with Aubrey and Theresa because Erin has been with them. I don't like Theresa too much, mainly because she never really liked me in the first place. She, Erin, and I went to school together from Kindergarten until eighth grade. Theresa went to Roosevelt; Aubrey had come to St. Theresa's in fifth grade or so, went to Dowling for a year, and ended up at Roosevelt as well. Theresa never really pays me any attention...she'll say hi then continue on like I'm not even there. She's done that since before junior high. Therefore making me one of her not so biggest fans. And when she, Erin, and Aubrey are together I feel like the fifth wheel, and not so much welcome to be around them.
I really want to make new friends. I try to talk to people here, but no one really tends to want to talk to me much. I guess Jeni is the only one that has actually sat down and had a conversation with me (well, me and Erin, but still).
My dilemma of being here is not the fact that I'm not making too many friends. My dilemma is that I'm on medication for depression and anxiety, and I cannot, for the life of me, find where I packed my meds. I've been forgetting things already, and I feel really tired and not so good all the time now...and it's because I'm not taking my meds because I can't find them. Some of the symptoms of depression and anxiety are that you forget things very easily and you are quite tired all the time, and sometimes even have trouble getting to sleep. I've been sleeping ok so far, but I'm just not feeling like myself. I mean, I'm not severely depressed and anxious like I was all the time while at home in Des Moines, but I'm still feeling some of those symptoms. I REALLY NEED to find my Lexapro... Shit, like I know where to begin...
Well, I suppose I'm going to look for that now, and just hang out here until someone calls me or something. I have a house meeting at a quarter to nine, and after that I think I'm gonna go to bed, seeing as I have class at ten tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is doing well in whatever you are doing...whether you're at college or still in Des Moines (Like my Ashley) :) Love and hugs to all!
