So, Check It Out

Right now I am sitting in my very tiny dorm room with my 3 new roomates and it is very quiet. I am munching on pretzel rods and making failed attempts at conversation and wondering why everyone else in this building seems to be best friends already.

You guessed it, I moved into college today.

It really wasnt as traumatic as I thought it was going to be. True, it was very sad when my mom finally left to go home and I did cry but now I'm just kind of...blah. The only things I did today were going to sign up for a parking permit and riding my bike over to student services to get a new student I.D.

Oh yah, I got a bike. Thrift store special, $25 red Schwin from somwhere around the time of 1995. But I'm not complaining, it gets me where I need to go. Besides, I think it has character! So like I said now I'm in my dorm typing away on blogger just for something to do. The other rooms around me are loud, music playing, people laughing, talking, whatever. But in our room? All four of us are on laptops and no one is looking up from their keyboards.

My roomates do seem nice though, one especially seems to be into many of the same things as me. I just don't think anyone really wants to come out of their shell quite yet.

Tonight is orientation, mandatory, and I'm expecting a mostly dull forced friendship type of deal that will last a couple of hours.

Tonight will be the first night sleeping in a twin sized bed since I was probably ten years old, that will be a new experience. Hopefully I meet some people that are more like me because when I look around me I see a whole lotta skinny blonde girls and a whole lotta sleevless muscle-y dudes. Neither of which appeal to me. My honest feeling right now is that I'm glad to be here glad to have the hard part over with. I have a good feeling about what this is gonna turn into and I'm excited to start livin it.
