Finding My Place
Today I met someone really cool. I was at The Beach Ball dance which was really fun. I met two really nice girls, both kind of socially awkward, but still, really amiable. Then, I went into dance since the music changed from awful hip-hop to fun oldies remixed. The DJ was so lame though. Goodness. So I saw my friend E. V. there and she introduced me to her friend Ben, who was friendly and funny. So we stayed there for a while dancing. I taught them how to do thriller. It was fun times. Then I walked home and Ben offered to walk me home (even though it was only two blocks, it was so sweet of him, I couldn't say no). We got to my dorm and just talked and talked and talked. For legit two hours. Most of our conversation focused on the Harry Potter movies, the highlights and the disappointments. It was awesome; we agreed on almost everything. It was so cool. Anyway, he left at about 2 AM and he was so gentlemanly, he was all, "Have a good night." It was so adorable. I swear, I'm still a sucker for a gentleman. Sigh, maybe chivalry isn't dead after all...

COLLEGE!
Well, it certainly has been a while, hasn't it? Oh, yes, it has, all right.
And here's the update: I arrived at NYU last Sunday with my family and my mom and sister helped me move into my dorm room, which wasn't THAT small. Some would call it cramped, I call it cozy. My bed is comfy with the new comforter that my grandmother gave me! Here is what I have done during Welcome Week:
1. Gone to the President's Address and found out that he gives out hugs when you greet him on the street. He's my kind of guy. I also listened to the alumnus' speech, which was mostly jokes seeing as he is a comedian and wrote the script for Run Fatboy Run... He said he was wearing an NYU thong and knew that President John Sexton was wearing one too because he helped him put it on. Awkward? Yes.
2. Went to a Fondue party which was stuffy in Goddard's (my resident hall's) basement, and the chocolate tasted funny, so I left and went to the Tisch party which wasn't much better seeing as the music was blaring and all there was to do was watch the upperclassmen dance like lunatics. I met some cool people, though. (Wow, what a run-on sentence. Mr. Hill would be horrified.)
3. Went to Karaoke night and sang two songs. My hands shook so badly I almost dropped the microphone. This makes me nervous about singing my two songs during my first class. Yikes! I also went to Arcade Night and played two songs on bass on Rock Band. It was fun!
4. Went to see a hypnotist show, but did NOT participate. Went to see an Improv show. Scattered laughs. Eh... Went to see a sketch comedy group. Laughed way too loudly seeing as I was there alone. Signed up to try out for Hammerkatz, as they're called.
5. Went to see Rocky Horror Picture Show with room mates. Was underwhelmed; I couldn't hear the movie because all the people shouting out the joke lines were not united, and so it was just a constant stream of people yelling. Although, I have a feeling that even if I could hear, I wouldn't understand it anyway.
6. Went out clubbing last night to celebrate my room mates birthday; she's 19! So we went to a (legal) 18+ club which was crowded (obviously) and laughed with horror as Khia was molested by this random guy who just started dancing with her. It was scary and funny at the same time.
7. Met lots of cool people and am excited to start classes! Yay!
I miss everyone at home, but I'm having way too much fun to think of coming home (until Thanksgiving break, that is!) Love you all, and can't wait to see you again (but not too soon).
