I had orientation for college on Tuesday. It was pretty uneventful I guess. Nothing bad or embarrassing happened to me, so that’s good, but it’s not like anything spectacular happened either. It was just a long day. Orientation lasted eight and a half hours. But I guess most other college’s orientations are two or more days, so I won’t complain. The campus seemed nice. It left a better impression on me this time around than it did the first time I went there. I’m really nervous for classes though. I know I’m going to be a bundle of nerves the first day. I’m taking 14 credits. It’s only four classes, but it seems like a lot. I thoughts you’d only have to go to each class once a week, but you go to each class at least twice a week. I have to go to math three times a week. It’s bullshit. It’s the only class I have that meets three times a week, and it’s the class I’m dreading the most right now. I got stuck in pre-calc. I wanted to be lower than that. If I did well enough on my AP test though, I might be able to skip that class, which at this point, I don’t know if that’s all that good, because I surely don’t want to go any higher. I’m really not looking forward to all the work. It’s really going to suck. I just hope I can make it through. I really hope I make some friends too. I guess it’s probably pretty easy to make friendly acquaintances in class, but I want to make good, close friends, not just the type of friend you can comfortably have a conversation with, but nothing deep or personal, and then you might not ever talk to them again after the class is over. There weren’t really any cute guys in my group, at least none that I was really attracted to anyways. Not that they would have been interested in me though. One of my orientation leaders told me I was pretty, which was nice, but she was a girl. That’s nice if a girl thinks I’m pretty, but it’s the boys who never seem to think so. Besides, there were tons of other girls in my orientation session alone who were really pretty, so it’s not like I stand a chance. I’m really hoping that guys in college will be different than in high school, but I’m starting to have my doubts. Maybe it will take a year though for people to mature and get out of their high school mind set. Or that could be wishful thinking. Hopefully I can find a club that I can participate in that I really like, so that I can meet some friends and maybe find a boy who I like and shares the same feelings.
