is great so far. my floor is fucking unbelievable (photo house- practically all photo majors, and all are interested in photo [obviously]) and i can really compare the society of it to that of congress, which is good, because it makes me feel a little bit at home. everyone, for the most part, is friendly and welcoming and looking for a good time (even the older kids, maybe even especially them).

even with all these events scheduled for me, though, and the constant influx of new acquaintances and invitations and conversations, its more lonely than you’d think. nobody here knows me, you know? i haven’t even hugged someone since my parents dropped me off. and i really miss my friends and mike and my kitchen (my house itself i dont miss much, definitely not my room this is so much better than my room at home, but ive been eating so strangely because i have NO food i need to go shopping).

i really am so excited to begin classes monday though, and nearly every kid on my floor has the same class as me monday morning so its cool knowing were all in it together (HSM lol). i also attended a lecture today from my program chair and it got me really amped to start my photo arts class and im excited for my other classes as well.

its really great here, and i know im in the right place, but you honestly dont realize how important some things are until you leave them all behind. its refreshing, but terribly lonely.

send me shit, forreal
