Lonely

Making friends has prooved to be difficult. Yesterday I spent most of my day with a bunch of other transfer students. I did met a lot interesting people. Most of them were very nice but I haven't seen any of them today. Today has been very lonely. I was alone at breakfast because my roommate was still sleeping at 8:00 (she's kinda sick). A good thing is that my roommate and I have become quick friends and we get along great in our room, which is very exciting and encouraging. My first class was at 9:00 and didn't last very long because the teacher is new and today was her first day. The class (3D design) seems like it is going to be fun and challenging. But I am the only transfer student in the class. One boy was nice and gave me a "welcome to Houghton" line but that was the only thing said to me the whole class. Lunch, again, was lonely. My roommate was with her family, who only live an hour and a half drive away. After lunch I was highly imbarrassed to go to my ceramics class to find out I was there at the wrong time. I was confused because tomorrow I have a studio class at 1:15, but today my class is at 3:15. It wasn't too big of a mistake because it was just the teacher and one other student there when I made my embarrassing entrance. After that embarrassment I decided to be more social and go to the coffee place on campus (Java 101) and use my computer there instead of closed up in my room. I'm here now, still feeling lonely, but not so bad because I'm not the only one that is alone. I hope as I get to more classes I'll meet more people and find friends. Perhaps it is a little too soon to say that I'm totally alone.
