So now that I've been here in college
for a couple months, I've finally found my place around here. I have
myself some best friends and some normal friends. Sam and Chandler
and I are going to room together next year in our own suite and every
night we can hang out. Or just do homework in our rooms. One or the
other. Its nice to know that I have people to love me while I'm here
xD. I will always have someone to hang out with here on campus.
So I would say I have a couple groups
of friends. Of course some of them overlap because life is never not
complicated. So I have Sam and Chandler, who sometimes have a lot of
homework to do. Then I have Sam and Eric, though the three of us
don't really hang out that much anymore. Then I have my floor
people.
See, they will accept me in their presence, we'll hang out, but I
normally have to go to them. I've only been invited to head over to
the room a couple times. And one of those was because Slenderman was
messing with my roommate's computer and Marissa was kind enough to
save me. (Okay, so maybe not, maybe it just was lighting up randomly
when no one touched it. Oh, and speaking of roommate, I don't know
if I've mentioned it yet, but I really lucked out. She's friendly and a generally awesome person). They
invite me to dinner sometimes if I'm within eye sight and they're
headed out. I know they like me thoughh. Because they will smile
and wave and talk to me. They are all pretty awesome people and I'm
not part of the inner group anyway. My inner group is Chandler and
Sam, so its totally okay. Kay, I'll stop being insecure now.
Whenever Nic is around and not home, I have him to hang out with =).
When I don't have either of those people, I could go into the lounge.
The great thing about everyone here is that they are very accepting
and friendly. There have been nights that I've just stayed up late,
hanging out with the people in the lounge.
Ahh, the lounge. The perfect place to
people watch. And movie watch. And hang out with people.
Sometimes, Sam and I bake. We made these delicious no bake frozen
cookie dough balls. They were quite popular here in Avila lounge.
Cookie dough is a much loved thing in college. No, you know what?
Food in general is much loved. Decary, however, not so much. That's
our cafeteria.
So I just went through registration.
It was probably the most stressful experience I've ever had here. I
found myself rocking back and forth. It was actually kind of scaring
me. I had to eat candy so I didn't explode. Chandler and I were
freaking out and Sam was just completely calm about it. Of course,
she got into all her classes easy and was out of the library in ten
minutes, maybe not even that much. But Chandler and I, oh we
continued to freak out for a good half an hour there. They wouldn't
let us into the Public Speaking course because it was “not part of
our major”. Mr. Computer, that's an exploration course, the point
is that it doesn't matter what your major is. Grr!! I'm instead
taking an exploration course on friendship and relationships. It
sounds kinda stupid, sure, but it might actually end up being
interesting.
I'm talking to Jenna right now and I'm
really missing Sound School. Matthew came up to visit me over the
weekend, and I was so happy. Alex sent me a letter from Nova Scotia
and I was almost jumping up and down in joy. I love you guys all so
much... I guess Eco Adventure went canoeing. I'm so upset they
didn't do that with us. Last time I checked, Jamie and Alex and I
and maybe even Jazmin are gonna go back to Eco Adventure someday.
Jenna says the new freshman in the group aren't like us. Which is so
sad. Its just Sam, Jenna, and Isabel to hold the old feeling of the
group together.
You probably don't know what I'm
talking about. So Eco Adventure was an afterschool program I was
part of in high school. The program was supposed to be a place where
we went out for geocaches (don't know what that is? Well, Rocket
does, so you should so shhh. Look it up or remain a muggle) and
learned about the environment and stuff. Well, we did a bit of that.
Meanwhile, we formed quite a bond with each other and harassed the
teachers who ran it (in a very loving way, I promise). We would go
out in the woods and Jamie would run around holding a stick and Jenna
and Jazmin and Sam would wander away. Paula and Kim would freak
out....Alex would pet thing she was allergic too. It was just great.
But I digress hugely. So college.
Right. Um, well, right now I'm tired. I'm sorry I never finished
that story about Eric, its not that hugely important. I got
introduced to Eric, we hang out for a really long time and long story
short we become good friends. With Sam and Eric I found my first
comfort zone here in college and to them I am eternally grateful.
Alright, I wanna play some Sims before bed. I sure sound social,
don't I? XD Night.
PS. This is probably the first time
people from UNE will read this blog. First of all, if I mention you
(especially at orientation) please know that I am not super creepy.
I just was observing a lot. Making memories for myself. And if you
are in my blog, it means you left an impression on me and an impact
somehow on my college life. So be proud, okay? And never mention it
to me ever. Because I will turn into a tomato. A very ripe tomato.
