So, it is the third week of college and so far I have very mixed feelings about being back in school. Don't get me wrong, the Creative Communications program is great, it is challenging and thought provoking and the Red River College campus is beautiful. It is college life I am having a hard time with.
I honestly feel like I am back in grade seven; the painfully awkward kid who has no idea how to talk to people let alone make any friends. I don't know what happened, I grew out of that faze and high school life was great. Maybe I have just been away from school for too long, maybe I have reverted back to my twelve year old mentality...whatever the case It's not fun.
I walk into each classroom and look around at all the other students, chatting away with each other, laughing and having fun. I don't know how to interact anymore so I just sit by myself or sometimes with the one person I have felt comfortable talking too. It's not like I haven't tried to fit in but every time I try to talk to people I feel that they are disinterested in what i have to say and I fumble around nervously. As of right now I have kind of given up on the whole making friends thing and am focusing on the work. I may try again later... I may not.

My sisters and I dressed up for May the 4th. We are all nerds.
I think as the course moves along, the more comfortable everyone will become with one another. We're all in this together. Give it time. Or just come and sit next to me on Monday morning.
