The benefits of being friends with a photography major.

As some of you may remember, my friend Alicia is a photographer, whom is pretty talented. She came to hang out with my friend Tyler and I, and we were sitting in the living room of my townhouse on campus, and she said she was upset she forgot her camera. So I offered her mine. Though much less sophisticated than she was used to, she made it work.

Me.

The good and the bad.

One nice thing about this semester. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

One bad thing about this semester. I have class from ten to ten on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I have tons of reading to do for my classes today (I still don't have all my books). I have Theatre in about an hour (we're all required to take an art class, I picked theatre). Followed immediately by English, an hour break, then Sociology. A few hours between that and Criminal Justice. Tuesday is the exact same thing, but my last class is Math, instead.

Other than that, things are better. My roommates are fairly entertaining (huge into partying). Normally, not really guys I'd hang out with a lot, but I enjoy them a fair amount.

Anyway, I just got out of the shower, I need to get ready for my long day of classes.

My First Night

So I'm at SVSU, tonight is my first night here.

I'm not going to lie, or cover up anything I'm feeling at the moment.

I'm pretty lonely. There are probably 10-15 people downstairs in my townhouse, all drinking, and being down there, well...feels weird. I'm not the hugest fan of drinking (the door bell is ringing, more people are coming in), and right now, on an empty stomach, it just doesn't sound very fun.

Sure, my best friend and girlfriend go here, but my best friend commutes, and my girlfriend has her own friends already, and I feel bad monopolizing her time, because I don't know anyone on this side of campus (that's the other thing, she lives on the completely opposite side of campus than I do).

So, here I sit, in my tiny bedroom, contemplating the night ahead of me. I still have plenty of unpacking to do (I've hardly done any), organizing, I need to raise my bed so I can hopefully fit my dresser under it.

Just a lonely night, thus far.

I know it'll get better, once classes start, and I have something to concentrate on.

Blog, blog, blog.

Happy, mom?

The picture I've been waiting to reveal.

This picture was taken only days after I moved to my parents' for the summer.

I've been waiting to post it, for when I had literally nothing for my blog.
