The Freshman Experiment

Music: Wilco - On and On and On

Sorry for my last two entries lacking in substance, I just haven’t had a moment to breathe. It took about six hours to drive up here because (although my mom insists we didn’t) we got a little lost on the highway. Anyway, once I pulled up to LAC all the excitement that was brewing in my stomach completely dissipated. For some reason I wasn’t anxious to get back nor was bitter about it. I just wanted to throw my blanket on my bed and take a nap. It’s been really strange thinking of this room as my new home for a year. Every time I walk in I’m expecting to see the same layout of my freshman dorm. However, there is more space and the ceilings are really high so it opens up the room a lot more. My only main complaint, besides the less than stellar floormates, is that it’s on the third floor so it’s an actual hike to my room; carrying my bags up the flights of stairs was a bitch and took me forever.

I did succeed in decorating my room and making it more comfortable than last year. I have about a million pictures of my friends and family, and my bed is literally a cloud thanks to a foam mattress pad. The only thing I need is more posters and possibly a shoe rack. I forgot that bringing 40 pairs of shoes to school was probably a horrible idea. They’re hiding underneath my bed right now.

Well, the DeniseGirls have all made it to campus. I ran into The Jock’s room when I found out she was here and knocked her over with a hug. I missed everyone, but I missed The Jock so much, it actually hurt. I nearly cried from relief when I saw her. It’s so great how we’ve all just fallen back into last year, like these three months without each other passed by in a minute. I love these girls with everything, and it’s ridiculous to think that they’ve only been in my life for a year! Tonight I’m going to party with them and laugh and enjoy myself.

P.S. Sebastian and *drumroll* WISHY have both come back into my life in big ways. I can’t deal with it.
