I am now officially settled into a house 7 hours away from home. It is a completely new experience: people, places, routine... I will agree to feeling rather overwhelmed initially, and I still have that, but it's all starting to make sense to me now. I'm meeting more people and feeling a bit more familiar with where I am supposed to be. Of course, once school starts, it will be easier to fall into a routine and really discover kindred spirits in this big city.
Today, we stayed close to school campus and I had my first experience in a classroom at this school. I guess, no matter how different it is from what I've been used to, it is a school with teachers, labs, other students, white boards, projectors .. and this is nice to see. I'm actually really looking forward to opening textbooks and binders and starting to explore my studies.
A friend of mine gave me a one-line-a-day reflection book that documents 5 years once it is finished. The idea is so ingenious and absolutely perfect to start now. Imagine where we'll be in 5 years, dear reader. I don't even want to imagine that - taking my time getting there will be something I think I will have to force myself to do. High school was some indication of how quickly time does end up passing.
Still can't believe I'm here...
