I've only been back for a little over 72 hours, but it already seems like I'm back in the swing of things. It's weird knowing I'm not a freshman this year because it just feels the same, only I KNOW people now. And of course I'm living in a new dorm hall. Rieber is great except for the damn stairs you have to climb to get here from campus. It's going to be a hell of a way to end a long day on campus, let me tell you. But once you're up here, it's cool 'cause you have everything up here on the hill: your room, food, and all the friends you can handle.

My roommate Vivian is great! We get along so well, I'm really lucky that I got her as my roommate. And Bobby and Bryan are right through the guy's bathroom from me, so it's really cool. They both brought cars down to LA, too, so it's going to be a lot more liberating, knowing we can get off campus even if Bobby's brother is using his car. And I have to mention Chrissy here because she's SO awesome!! She's a smart ass like me. :)

So classes don't start till Thursday, and it's really weird being here at school and not having any homework or classes. I almost feel like I'm missing classes or something. Meghan said it best this morning: "I feel like I should be doing homework or something 'cause I mean, we're at school!"

Now comes the tedious task of finding old friends. The people on campus again this year won't be so bad, but looking up people who moved into fraternities or apartments are a different story. Luckily, since most of my friends are from Norcal, they're living on campus. And Paul's living in his house, but we saw him today on our way to Westwood, plus it turns out I have 2 classes with him, so that's that.

And the parties. WOO HOO!! I've waited all summer for this. I'm so glad we don't have school yet. It was so great seeing the guys in the house and hanging out with them again.

So I guess the gist of it all is, I'm really, really glad to be back. I was getting kinda sad about leaving home again towards the end of the summer, not that I didn't want to come back here, but I mean, there's something about leaving home that gets me every time. Anyway, now that I'm here, things are great, falling into place, and I'm hoping this will be a great year!

Anyway, I've added a little side-page where I can put down some recent happenings and feelings and all that... although they can't be personal because, hey, this is the internet, and nothing on the internet is personal. You can get to it from here.
