so, i don't think i've ever realized how weird it is to go away to college until now, after i've already done it.

i guess it's different with graduate school because you don't really have anyone specifically helping you along. no hand-holding.

too bad, i like holding hands.

i've wandered around campus for a couple of days now, trying to figure out where everything is. bookstore, check. library, i'm sitting in it. (although, so far i've only gotten as far as the computer lab and not seen any books whatsoever. {and, this computer lab is really weird. they randomly page people to come to the help desk, and i keep fearing that i'm going to be the next one they call. and the air conditioning just switched on, and it sounds like a plane ready for takeoff.}) classroom buildings, got those too. and even health services. i walked through the hockey rink. now that was fucking cool.

i ate lunch by myself. i've only figured out one place on campus to eat. it's so BIG here... there are so many buildings, i don't think i'll ever figure them all out. it's almost like being in a little foreign country. at least in the bookstore i knew what i was doing. that was the one thing that my four years at college has helped me out with so far. when the much put-upon bookstore employee asked if i needed help, i nonchalantly smiled.

"nah, i've got it."

sure i do.
