yay for johnny...
so i had a million problems when i initially got the letter about my roommate... or should i say roommates... they had tripled me in a room which means a two-person dorm room was supposed to have three people in it... and that's just not going to happen. i figured that once i talked to these people, i'd bond with one and the other would end up moving out and there wouldn't be much of a problem. but it ended up that they had requested each other, so if someone was to leave the room there was no doubt that it'd be me. the nicer of the girls tried to convince me that we should see how it goes with the three of us, and move on from there... but if i had waited to do that, and things didn't work out like they obviously wouldn't, i'd be the one who would have to move all of my stuff around and live with someone i've never talked to before. this was all added stress that i didn't appreciate, but i was ready to get things fixed, so i called the dorm office and explained that i was the one who'd be willing to move, and since i gave them such early notice, could they find me a different dorm room and roommate... and they actually came through. i got a voicemail the day i flew into vegas from a person who works at the dorm office, saying that i had to call about my new information.
i waited to call her until i got home, so i tried today and had to leave a message. she called me back while i was at the old house cleaning out my room... and i'm actually really excited about this whole thing for once... the beginning of everything was such a hassle but it seems as though everything turned out for the best. she lives right near flint, and went to high school with some of my cousins. she's actually going to be a sophomore this year, and the floor that we are on is almost all sophomores, and the rooms are bigger, have higher ceilings and include little kitchenettes. she was surprised to hear from me because she didn't realize that the person she was supposed to room with decided not to come back for this year, but it seems as though we'll get along well. her birthday is just a week before mine, and she's a youngin' too... she's only 18 starting her sophomore year... plus she can introduce me to all of the people on our CO-ED floor, including the r.a. that she's known since she was younger...
i'm getting so excited for college now... and it's only a week away. it's unbelievable...
it's almost helping me forget that i have to get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning. blech. at least i have many willing nurses (wonderful wonderful friends) who'll make sure i recover quickly.
i wrote out a letter and put it in his mailbox. i have no idea when he'll read it, and what he'll think. but it was sincere. and that's all i can think about now.
tonight i'm off to see "28 days later" with ravi and emily... i'm probably going to flip out and have nightmares once they give me the iv during surgery...
i think everything's going to be okay.
