Until an hour ago, the only people I've seen here have been my RA and my roommate. It was quite sad, really, until a floor meeting was planned. Then BOOM! People!
It's rather nice to see that other humans live on floor 10, yet really nerve racking cause I'm an obvious new person. But thankfully there are two more newbies - another guy, and another girl who happens into be Nursing. Yay! Hopefully hanging out with the other newbies will make our 'newness' less obvious... hahahaha, yea right.
But really, I'm quite excited to meet the rest of the 10'ers here. It's nice to have a mix of girls and guys, and to have no pressure to socialize.
Tonight is the first time I met everyone, which went fine, but now there's also a movie/pizza conglomeration in the lounge. Ya, I'm excited, but HECK - I'M SO NERVOUS! I have no idea how some people just waltz up to strangers, introduce themselves, then carry on like that was nothing. At least with the floor meetings they are structured a bit, so no one is left in awkward silence or forced conversation for too long. But a pizza and movie? I can smell the awkwardness from here. Sheesh.
One of the things I like best about blogging is the fact that I can rant and rant here, yet pull it together when the time comes. Like now! I will go to the movie, enjoy some pizza, and make some friends. Simple as pie... right?
BAH. I'm still jittery. Wish me luck!
Love, Dani.
