first day
i thought i'd post before I fell asleep and forgot everything.
So my grandfather ended up coming with us. So...we moved stuff. And put away stuff. And set stuff up. Yeah. Not much surprise there. My mom made me a nice little gift box of junk food -- w00t! And then we went to the grocery store to pick up soup and tuna and mayo and bread and tea and nail clippers. And breakfast snacks.
Went to this "meet and greet" bit for Honors. Gah. Socializing in a crowded room. Met some people, won't remember their names. Left at the same time as another guy on my floor, named Paul. It seems we all identify each other by first name and major. He's aerospace engineering. Met the RA earlier, Robert, who's pretty nice.
Met Ashley. Was really awkward this afternoon, but thats ok. Anyway, came back from the social at eight twenty, was planning on taking a manga and reading it in the lounge area with my pocky, but someone kept calling my cell phone, an Andrea, who I think had the wrong number. I gave up and stayed in the room. A little after nine, Chelsey calls, and she and laura, rachel and jessica are outside, wondering if i wanted to come out and talk. Its so much easier to be with people I know, have history with, and lacking in awkwardness around. I think we've gotten over the whole awkwardness bit with the southeast ib kids, because we're not afraid to... well, much of anything.
Got back, and at around ten, Ashley comes over. (I think her roommate was on the phone, and was talking about "private things". Gah.) So, it was a bit stilted at first, but we started discussing anime and such. She's not a big fan of slash, but she doesn't scorn it, and knows a lot of ppl who like it, so its fine. I dont know a lot of the animes she was talking about, but again, its ok. She hasn't seen Full Metal Alchemist. I'm going to correct that. Muahahaha.
She left at like, two fifteen. My eyes hurt. My brain hurts. I'm tired. I think I'm going to read a chapter, then sleep.
