For Your Entertainment

Sorry it has been so long...I have kind of been avoiding this blog as a social crutch, but due to a specific request for "entertainment" I have returned.

I have just completed (or nearly as I will be going to bed soon) what is day 3 of near isolation. IE, I have moved to Eugene. Things here would be a lot better if I knew anybody, but alas, I do not. Thus, I spend my waking hours trying to keep myself busy--watching a lot of tv, doing random tasks around my room, and wandering. Phone calls from friends are always appreciated because they mean I actually talk to someone for an extended period of time. That is why I refer to it as isolation--I spend many hours a day not saying anything...imagine me being quiet! Hard to believe, I know.

I have, however, managed to set up my room (pictures to come soon). Sucessfully navigate my way to Safeway, Target and WinCo...and even wander around campus enough that I don't feel too out of place. I have to keep telling myself that things will get better once school starts and I get to know some people...but I have an overwhelming sense of dread that they will all be too "cool" for me...arg.

I am sorry that this is such a depressing post...really, there are worse situations I could be in (no home, no money, no idea where my family was) but having never experienced a hurricane, this is pretty disheartening to me...

Ah, wallow wallow so I will...on the bright side, I think I am going to go school shopping--we all know how much I like to spend money...I just wish it was someone else's! On another note, the supposedly "quiet" girls upstairs aren't so quiet...and I wish they wouldn't walk around in heels...but I can't discount them yet, they might become my best friends!! :)

I hope you are all well...night!
