College and my new life...
Yes, as of yesterday, I am officially moved into my new dorm... And I didn't realize what a big change it was, until I got here. On Friday I had to get up at four-ish in the morning to catch the two hour plane ride here. Then dad and I went shopping for school stuff (woo), then the next day I moved into my new dorm... which was relatively painless. Un-packing went quickly enough, and I really like my little space. Then we had to do normal ice-breaker stuff, and small group work.. which I am never a fan of, but I decided I was going to have fun, no matter how stupid it was. And I met some cool people because of it ^_^
I have a nice room mate, but I feel so bad for her, she had surgery on her ankle and is on crutches... and campus is FILLED with stairs. I get tired just walking normally up and down them, but with crutches? I think I would have packed up and just gone home.
But maybe I'm slightly looking for an excuse to do just that? Yesterday was a "Family send-off mass" but dad had to leave before it... and yet, I still cried. Not big fat whatever tears, but still, enough to make my face red and make a wonderful first impression. A guy that my dad knew from our old church had offered to let me sit with him and his son, and he prayed over me when the priest said "place a hand on your child's shoulder..." which was something I really really needed, you know? At first I just kinda looked around at everyone, seeing everyone look so... close, and there I was, and it felt like the space between me and everyone else was huge. But then not so much.
Last night I didn't get much sleep, regrettably, but today I'm feeling er, refreshed and awake, as I sip my oriental spice tea. I remember something we forgot at walmart, dad. Sugar. Dear goodness, I have no sugar for my tea. I even drank chamomile last night, with NO sugar... I don't know what this world is coming to.
