So, I am moved into my dorm at Loyola. My roommate has yet to show up and move in. I am kind of curious if he will ever move in. If he doesn't show up, I guess I am going to talk to my RA about what I should do. Maybe I will have a room to myself. Not a bad thing, but if I wanted a room to myself, I probably would not have moved away from my home. I kind of want that friendship that you usually get when you room with someone. But at the same time, I'm scared I will hate him or I'll be actually intimidated by him or that he will think I'm a freak. Whatever. Maybe I will get a roommate and we'll be good friends. Or maybe my roommate will randomly show up. Who knows? I'll keep you updated.
I was driving back to my dorm just now, and I realized that this weekend was the most fun I have had in a very long time. Why do I feel that way? My tight group of friends has broken up and is scattered across the country. My best friends who are still near to me are busy with high school or are just too far away for me to drive and visit them. I need to make some friends here at Loyola! I don't know why I find it so hard to do. I'm fun, but I'm shy. Why do I put that wall around me? I need tear that shit down! Ok. I found my problem, and now I am going to fix it. I'm going to tear down my imaginary wall. I think it will be easier when I start classes with people who like doing what I like doing. Then, we will have a mutual interest, and the conversation will last longer than "Hi, I'm Jody." Well, I'm putting my plan into action tomorrow on the 1st day of classes. Tell you how it goes later.
