long update
so I just had my first class... British Lit at 8am... I was the first person there, I arrived at 7:30 lol....that's right I'm a HARD CORE NERD.
the class was pretty amazing.... I was feeling all good and intelligent when I left, until I went outside and entered into a sea of bajillion people that I do not know... it was pretty intimidating let me tell you. I guess I was busy being intimidated instead of looking where I was going... because the next thing I know I was flat on my face... yes... my dear friends, i freaking tripped on a freaking on even brick.
So i got up and walked to the bathroom and cried... which sounds really ridiculous looking back on it, but I seem to be super sensitive and self concious this week.
Now I'm in the student union waiting to meet one of my friends for lunch... my next class isn't until 2pm. So this student union I'm in has a freaking bowling alley and an arcade across from the computer lab (which I'm in) AND it has a freaking photo gallery.... crazy.
Anyway, on Sun I went to fall fest with my apartent mate and friend Mary... I signed up for like 30 orgs. but these are the ones I'm going to try to be loyal to:
Self Knowledge Synopsium, Boiling Point (a progressive political journal), V day (they only meet for the vag monologues), Feminist Students United, Students for Sudan, Amnesty International,adaptive sports (YES I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY IT) and there is this literary and arts coed fraternity that I am thinking about rushing, or at least going to some rush events, everyone there seems so cool.
Yesterday I went to a Hillel BBQ, the girls from the jewish sorority came to pick me up at my apartment. I was really nervous to go at first, but everyone was really nice and I met alot of people. Hopefully, I'll see those girls later on this week... they are not typical sorority girls at all, they are all really political and down to earth.
All in all, I'm having a good time, all my apartment mates are really nice...one of them seems like the type of person I can really connect with, but she's so busy... that IDK. Most of the upperclass students I'm meeting already have their own friends and are really involved in the campus.. which makes making GOOD friends hard, so I am more than a little lonely and miss all you guys alot. GOOD friends are hard to come by, and without GOOD friends no matter how many friends I have, I will be lonely.
When I went to the transfer out of state student meeting, they said that the first couple weeks were the hardest, and that it was harder for upperclass transfer students to make friends and adjust... because they already have two years of college under their belt, which makes sense.
But I've only been here a week and classes just started today.... so hopefully things will change.
I've been listening to alot of Ani... that always makes me feel alittle more at home.
Hope all is well with all of you
