Following on from the previous post, which I don't entirely remember if I'm honest, as it was Monday, and now we're on Thursday. That's a long time. I would say, I have a better outlook now. I still feel a bit lonely sometimes, but I'm trying to remind myself that you don't make best friends in a week. Just got off skype to my two best friends, having spoken for two hours, and it reminded me that I always have them, they're only a phone call away, and missing them doesn't mean I don't like university, it just means they're good friends. It also reminded me that it took me about a year to become that close to them, and its been seven years now and that's why we're so close. My course seems more manageable, still difficult, but something I can at least approach which is good. I do like my flatmates, they're very different to me, but that's okay. I have this slight sensation of being a little 'lost', but I think that's okay. I reckon if by Christmas, I still don't feel settled, I'll worry about it. Then of course, everyone will go home for a month and come back and be unsettled again. Then we have to start house-hunting for next year, what is this?! I do think it'll be okay, I guess I just didn't imagine I'd miss everyone as much as I do, and the first week was so busy I didn't really have time to - now I do. I am slightly tearful at times, but I've cried at sillier things. I really like the girls in my other group, and talking to some other people today I hadn't really met reminded me that everyone's friendly, and I'm just freaking myself out about it. So sleep time, LONG day tomorrow. Here's to accepting that not everything snaps into place in a week, it takes time to adjust, and I should give myself that time. Out.
