It's weird to think that I've only been here a week. It feels soo much longer. I remember this from last year, only it was cooler last year because the novelty was there. Now it's sort of like: "Here's school. Here's homework." And already on Thursday I had to motivate myself to go to class by thinking, "Only fourteen more Art classes; only thirty-one more Writing classes." It was the second day I had those classes! Pathetic!
Overall, though, being here is pretty awesome. I didn't think I was going to like my room very much when I first got here, but now I'm totally in love with it. My bed is in this sort of alcove, and I can just sit on my bed and read and no one even realizes I'm in the room.
And of course it was nice to come here and already know people. The first morning, my roommate and I woke up around the same time, and we were just sitting on our beds talking, and I remembered how awkward it was the first morning last year. She and I are the only ones in our group who can fully appreciate that because we're the only two who came in total strangers and ended up deciding to room together another year. It's just nice to already be comfortable with people and not have to get to know new ones. It's nice to be able to arrange to meet someone you already know for lunch on the very first Monday.
It's also nice when you're the only one in the unit who doesn't go out on Friday night, and you know it's not because you're a loser who still hasn't made friends yet, but because you simply don't feel like going out. I had a very productive evening last night, actually. I didn't do homework, though I already have a mountain that I need to wade through. Instead, I sat in my alcove with my computer and wrote a fanfic about Sirius and Regulus, one I've been meaning to write since DH came out. I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out. And then some of the girls came back and we watched I Love Lucy on TiVo, and then they all went out again and I went to bed. It was really very nice.
Tonight we're going out for my birthday, which I'm excited about materialistically because it means I'll get presents (though I'm sure we'll have fun, as well). I'm holding out for new clothes, which means I can go longer without doing wash.
