winterseaspraySo I found out who my roommates are. Clare Walsh from New Jersy and Amanda Xeller from Texas. I think that the folks at the Tenley housing campus just took an alphabetical list of the people coming down divided it up that way (all right, of the girls and then the boys).
I had a panicky bit where I was like "Should I facebook them, or not, should I wait for them to make the first move" but then I remembered that in order for me to appear friendly and open, I should make the first move. So I posted on Clare's wall, and I tried to find Amanda because she hasn't yet joined up in the American network.
Why would I be nervous? There are several people that I would have been fine with posting on their walls and being all cheery and everything, but when I went to Clare's wall she LOOKED so much like the kind of girl who was a cheerleader in school, and her profile picture was of her prom, with her boyfriend. I guess the problem was/is that I think now that's what she's like. I am trying not to make snap judgements. I'm trying to get that idea out of my head -- but she seems so different from me. I feel a little bit like she would be one of the girls who would make fun of me for wearing the cloak and so on and so forth.
Still, I am going to make an effort. She's pretty liberal, and she seems like a party girl -- things that will make it easier to live with her, I guess.
Kat told me yesterday that I'm not that hard to live with. I hope that's true. I know I'm not hard to live with when I'm living with Kat and other people, but I've never really lived with someone before.
I just want to make friends at college, I think. I think it will be fine, but I'm still nervous, a little. Wouldn't you be? Aren't you, most of my LJ friends are just starting on this adventure.
I could barely see Amanda's profile picture, but when I heard she was from Texas I had a moment of fear. There went all my good intentions to be nice to people I disagree with. I actaully think that Amanda is more like me, just from the little glimpse I had of her profile picture -- plus she's from Huston, not Texas. So I hope she gets back to me, because otherwise I would have to call her, and that would be awkward (no e-mail adress, at least, no American e-mail adress).
Had a good talk with kat last night, sort of, just about friends. I don't know, I want to remember it.
Blah, I have work, and then the drama banquet. Excellent.

Date: 2007-06-30 04:48 am (UTC)On panicky bit and feeling that you should appear friendly and open - You're silly, slash, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. (God. I'm so nice right now. You should be leaving for England in three - slash, kind of two - days EVERY day. XD)
On Clare - If she is like that, is it so bad? Look at who we're with now. They are not so different from that, and you are not so different from them. It is okay. Just be nice. Anyway, let's be honest, now!you might make fun of then!you about the cloak. (Although, granted, now!you might still wear it. Slash, the people we're with now, plus people "like that," would probably wear it, too. Just, you know, under specific different circumstances.)
On her seeming like a party girl - That'll make it easier to live with her? I'm confused.
On you not being hard to live with - Well. Don't be grumpy. <3
On friends at college - Yep, we're all nervous. BU frickin' sent me an email that was like, "Hi, we haven't assigned you yet." I was like, "WELL, THEN. WHY DID YOU EMAIL ME?"
On Amanda - She's from Houston, not Texas? Houston's in Texas. *blink* I guess you mean because Houston's a city??? Confusion. Has she gotten back to you? If you've told me, I can't remember.
On our good talk - What was it about? I don't really remember it, even though I have kind of a vague...no, shite, you say "night." No recollection of this. Please refresh my memory.
On the Drama Banquet - Oh, oh, the Drama Banquet.
