And still no communication. I haven't been assigned to a dorm, and I haven't made any friends--or even talked to any other first years. I need to. I need friends.
The silence is oppressive, and it's smothering me. I want to scream and shout and throw things, but I know better. I'm sitting in the dorm right now and my stomach is gurgling, and I know I need to go find something to eat. I've been sleeping on these chairs for two nights now..I'm starting to stink and I still don't have access to a dorm to change my clothes, or get my bathroom stuff and take a shower. I'm miserable.
I was so hopeful when I was talking to Anna. I thought something would happen. I thought I'd make some friends. I can see her now, but she's comforting a friend of her own, someone her age. The other girl's been crying in the windowseat over something. I've never been good at giving comfort, so I stay curled up in my chair and pretend to be asleep. All I've been doing is sleep. I need to get up today and leave this room and meet some people!
So I'm going to stop complaining, and do something about this. I'll find a bathroom somewhere and just rinse if I have to, and drip-dry. And by God, I'll make a friend today.
