quite at home

I feel very at home all of a sudden. I can handle this. My room feels like my home… I don’t miss my house at all at this point. I think that perhaps I won’t until a month or so rolls by… I think we haven’t been gone long enough to really be homesick. Lord, it feels like we’ve been here for 2 weeks… it’s only been 3 days.

I maintain that I feel like I’m at camp. It’s a mix of Lakeside-ness with all the walking and band camp with the hotness. It’s weird… socializing… all the time… it’s hard.

I finally hung out with all new people today. Well, I take that back… Meg and I went to church together this morning with 3 other guys that we met last night. Eric drove us, and Nick and Jason came along. That was cool… it was cool to get a jump-start on this church shopping thing.

Anyway, today I mostly hung out with Gretchen (another Gretchen!) and met Faiza, Sandra, and Shannon. Hung out with Danielle and Erica a little bit as well. Spent some time with Nick, Ethan, a little bit with Ahmer (only because he’s Ethan’s roommate)… I dunno. It’s cool… I know people. Then tonight I got to know some of Jamie’s friends better – Amanda and Stephanie, as well as met some completely new people. Tonight Ethan, a different Stephanie, and I had a philosophy/science/chaos theory discussion in my dorm room. Awesome stuff. Then Meg came over with a new discovery – a girl who knows Candlerain! She also knows the original Gretchen, and Phillip and Peter! She goes to YAC – loves Ben – so much fun. Then band Stephanie and I looked through some pictures… and here I am!

Classes start Tuesday… can’t wait. Weird? Yeah, I know. But I figure that’s another awesome way to meet some people.

Tonight we watched a hypnotist perform. He had about 20 students up on stage and hypnotized. Well, except for those who faked… and there were a couple. However, most of it was completely awesome and hysterical.

At any rate, maybe I should consider bed one of these days. Kind of overrated, but I’m really deprived.

Methinks one Kristen and one Liz need to write.
