I'm all settled into my room. The piano overlooks the courtyard, and my dressers are stacked along the wall. I have a makeshift bookshelf. I put my shower speaker in tonight. I've looked at my syllabus for my Natural World Course. I feel excited to start classes.
Being physically settled is different from emotionally settled though. In fact, I'm quite unsettled. I look out for my ex everywhere I go because I'm dreading so deeply that first encounter, not because we will do anything or say anything, but because my heart will drop and I'll fall apart once again.
I am trying to stay busy. I brought 10 pounds of books to keep me occupied. First up is the Princess Bride! I also spent time with Jacqueline and Erin today. Still haven't seen Keely or Ro, but apart from those four I only would like to see Lucy and Justice and then I should be all set! It won't be too hard to invest in stronger friendships this semester, I hope. Everytime Erin invites me to her pod though I hold my breath. I am actively avoiding her next door neighbor... so... we'll see how well that can go.
Have a great first day of classes everyone!
Here's to an amazing term!!
