BEDA 16: College is Weird

So I don't know exactly what's going on in this head of mine right now. It's eleven o'clock, which means that they volleyball players are no longer playing volleyball, which means that it is suddenly very quiet right now. All I can hear is the clicking of my fingers along the keyboard, the hum of the fan sitting atop my desk, and the vibration of my own brain.

I messed up this morning like I always do and turned my alarm clock off before I had a proper chance to wake up, quickly falling right back to sleep and not waking up until around ten in the morning. This means that I missed a lot of the most important programming for Family Ties of the entire weekend, but that's okay. All you can really do is work to not repeat these mistakes in the future.

Family Ties was really pretty chill today, even though I expected it to be the busiest day of the entire weekend. They dismissed us early, so instead of going to dinner and then to an open gym, I headed back to my dorm and took a nice few-hour nap before my very first meeting with the HPA staff. After that, I headed out on my own and trekked around downtown Winona for about an hour. I was hoping to maybe run into something interesting, but the only thing happening in Winona at nine o'clock at night is drinking, and that's not my style. Still, it was nice to get out and do a little bit of exploring.

I haven't had nearly as much social interaction today, and part of me is sort of concerned about that. I think tomorrow will be different though. I talked to this girl on Facebook today who's an HP fan and is moving in two floors below me tomorrow, and my roommate is moving in tomorrow too. So whether I like it or not, I'll be spending a lot of my time with people. We really don't have very much actual programming tomorrow though. Family Ties finishes up around one, and then we don't have anything until five thirty. I figure I'll probably wander around my hall and ask if anyone needs help moving in and get to know my roommate and my neighbors.

I'm going to sleep now, because we're having a continental breakfast tomorrow and it would be really nice to wake up on time.
