I know I've been away for a really long time. A week if I remember correctly. And that's a best for me, seeing as how I have yet to go insane or physically harm someone from being away from my desktop/laptop for so long. Usually I go insane from gaia-withdraw or something. My friends say I'm addicted. I say screw them. Some people got Everquest. Some people have War of Warcraft. Hell some people got ebay. I got Gaia. And I'm freakin' happy with it!
But anyways. There was a reason I was gone so long. I wasn't just testing my limits to see how long it would take before I had to get on the computer. Trust me, it wouldn't have been this long if I had. Last week was my last week at home, so I was trying to spend as much time as possible with my family as I could. I went off to college Thursday, and with it came all the wonders and excitements that always tag along when a person goes off. Of course included in the arrangement of emotions was also anxiety, misery, and sadness.
I'll admit it. I'm homesick. I talk to my mom at least three to four (if not more) on the phone a day. And within the week I've been here, I've gone home about every other day. I have cried or almost cried every night because I miss my house. I miss my bed. I miss my dog. I miss everything.
I have the largest dorm on my floor. A corner tripple, one of my roommates dropped out so its been turned into a double. It has an amazing view looking over the open field and this beautiful tree right infron of my window. It's amazing. But with the pros comes the cons. The empty field is Schaaf Lawn, which is where they hold all their major functions. Thus making it very noisy. One of the reasons I go home.
But in the end its nice. Because it is beautiful when there isn't some wanna-be rock group playing or Block Party going on. My roommate is nice and I think we'll get along great because we both don't party, we like to study, and we are rather quiet and like our own space. Yay!
Now that I've described when I've walked into, and how I want to go home still (atleast partially, which I am going home tonight), let me explain why I haven't been on.
Wednesday was my last day home. So I spent the entire day with my family. Thursday I moved in and had to check in my compture, which I didn't get back until Monday. That in a nutshell is why I haven't been on. ((Oh, by the way I've just written that line three times because I'm still trying to figure out how to type on a laptop with out messing up. GAAAARRRR!!))
But even if I had my computer I wouldn't have been able to get on because I would havebeen so busy. My orientation group had been team 7 (Team 7 Rocks!!!) and I was with that group all week. I went home Thursday night after the opening ceremony, cook out, and orientation group. I skipped the hypnotist. Then came back Friday, spent the day with the group, then went to their little party where I spent my time talking to a boy named Jared who I discovered liked football, had an English Bulldog (thought of mum) and knew nothing about movies or Final Fantasy. Boy lives under a rock.
Side note: I also discovered that one of my dorm neighbors is actually an old friend of mine way back from when I was in Daisies and Girl Scouts. Her mom use to be a troop leader. It was funny to run into her. It's been years since we last saw each other.
After that we did more things, basically having them tell us everything we knew. It was nice though cause I learned about studying abroad and I wanna do that sometime. I was thinking China or Japan, but now I'm leaning towards Spain or Italy since I speak Spanish and my step-grandmother is from Italy and could teach my Italian. Went out for icecream with my OLs and a few kids. That night was Easton, I was gonna go and meeet up with Karol and CJ for a free movie, but ended up going home cause the night before I cried. Sunday I was suppose to go horseback riding, but it stormed and my mom wanted me to rest so I didn't go home until that night. Went to an icecream social where I watched my OLs Connie and Beth (love them!) make fools of themselves and signed up to be an OL my self next year.
Side Note: Also I work in Capital Funds office and am applying to be an Ambassoder!
After that came home, talked to move, watched TV (yay Cable! Watched JP III), and worked on a picture. Then went to bed. I had class at eight, my first college class, so I chowed down on a ceral bar, went to class. Just basically did nothing. Seems cool, and then I went to math. It was raining when I got out. Met up with Kathy and went home, and spent the day at home. The tornado sirens went off that night, but the only places that got hit I believe was east of Bexely (where my school is) and Pickerington. But since a part of Franklin let off a siren, it was a chain reaction.
Tuesday went home, Susie was sick. She has a virus. Poor thing. She got sick in the car on the way there. So I said goodbye quickly and headed up to my dorm to prepare for class.
Sidenote: >> I've been bringing stuff from home like everytime I come back from my house. Also, my Geisha picture just fell YET again. Argh.
Had Global Awareness first, that was interesting. Then Philosphy. Loved it. I had to read and write a paper for that and read in GA. Then I had Sociology, which sucked to find. The conservatory is freaking weird. The hall my class was suppose to be in didn't have it, unstead the class was all the way in another building connected to the conservatory. SUCKY!
Then came home, fixed my laptop a bit, talked to mom, went to dinner with Alexa, did something else, which I can't remember what. Wasn't important. Talked to mom and watched television while talking to her, then went to bed by ten. Woke up today at six forty-five so I could make breakfast, went to Reading and Writing (what I had first on Monday) and had an awsome debate on Abortion. I think I impressed, or atleast left an impression on my professor. Then went to math which was boring of course, then met with my orientation group one last time to go to the welcoming ceremony. Then I came back, talked to mom, finished working on laptop, went to lunch with Alexa, and here I am.
That is why I haven't been on. Busy ne? I tell you, I'm exhausted. I miss Sora. I miss Delie. I miss Cici. >> I miss Sora. I MISS HOME!! ;A;
But I'm also having fun. I'm torn between missing everyone and enjoying myself. Its strange. I guess it will get easier as the year goes on. Well I think I've written enough, I'm going to check my forums and then read my book before I go to my final class tonight (from four to five twenty! Blargh) then go home. I probably won't be on much this week beyond every now and then, when no one is on most likely. So if anyone reads this, I'll probably be on much more next week. Hopefully. ;-;
Bye!!
