A Rainy Beginning

My first day of college was, well, WET. And cold, and slightly windy. It rained all day, and I had to carry this big 'ol umbrella all over the place. I accidently left it in the cafeteria and had to run back to get it. I stepped in a giant puddle that soaked my jeans up to the shins, and I nearly fell going up the slippery steps in my wet flip flops.

And besides being wet, it was stressful, not exactly exciting, and also very lonely.

I came here thinking that I would be able to make a lot of new friends right away, which is usually what I do when I go somewhere full of strangers. Not so. Perhaps it was the rain, but I couldn't seem to bring myself to approach anyone. I thought I'd gotten over being shy. Apparently the problem has only gotten worse.

I suppose this is the drawback of a large university--it's large, HUGE, and this is what makes it so damn complicated. I find myself wondering if I made the right choice.
