Finally Found a Friend - Thursday, January 6, 2011, 7:15 PM

So earlier today I was feeling better.  Around 3:30 or so, two of the other ISEP students, Megan from Wisconsin and Jasper from Oregon, came by to welcome me to Aix and to ask if I wanted help being shown around.  They also wanted to know if I wanted to get dinner with them this evening.  I said yes of course (I know no one, I don’t know if I can stress that enough).  Since I don’t have a mobile phone or the internet yet, I said I would just meet them in their rooms.  Their building is 2 and mine is 4 but somehow we’re on the furthest ends of the cite universitaire cuques (which is where I live).  If you’re confused, don’t worry, I am too.  Very much so.  Anyway I went back to sleep because I was still very tired.  I woke up around 5:30, showered and got ready.  Around 6:45 I walked over to their building.  It took me about 10 minutes just to figure out where their rooms were.  Finally I found them but when I knocked, there was no answer at either room.  So, now distraught and hungry, I walked back to my building and am sitting in my room trying not to cry.  I feel so alone and I would try to go out and get something to eat and get my shopping done, but I don’t even know where I’m going and it’s already dark outside.  And I don’t have an alarm clock so I’m really worried it’ll be hell waking up tomorrow.  I have a meeting at 2 but I really want to get my shopping necessities (alarm clock, hand soap, hangers, pens, notebooks, phone, and some food) bought and my internet set up.  I feel like what I have to do is just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get things done.  I’m just so scared...and did I mention alone?  Tonight my goal is to just get things organized.  Hopefully that will make me feel better and more at home here.
