Even though it is cool that I am at a new school with a new beginning, I still miss the familiar. Before the 2007- 2008 school year ended it I looked forward to going to Lincoln- Way North. New building, new lockers, new teachers…the works. But then I got the news that I had been accepted at IMSA. The excitement of going to IMSA overshadowed my feelings about not going to the “new school.” After the second week, when Zanette and I talked, she told me how her freshman year was going. It was then that I realized how much I wanted to be there with her to share in her excitement. How I wanted to be there to share her apprehensions. How I wanted to be there to help her around (even though it would have been a new building for me as well). However, I cannot change what happened or where I am. All I can do is to make the best of the situation and do my best in that situation. I promise her though, that no matter where I am, now or in the future,I will always be the same. I will always be here when she needs someone to talk to or when she needs someone to listen to her. I will always be there for her.

So I finally moved into my dorm. Its refreshing to be in a new environment, but at the same time I miss my house, my room, and everything else associated with home. Next week I get to go home after a long week of classes. This weekend all I did was listen to lectures about leadership, computer ethics and presentations on the various clubs and organizations they have on campus. Their food, provided by Sodexho, is not horrible, but it definitely isn’t great. Homemade Filipino food sounds so appetizing right now.

The campus is a mix of different cultures. As one of the seniors put it, “White people are the minority now!”

There are six days left till I leave for IMSA. Although I knew I would be leaving soon, it only hit me on Wednesday that I would be leaving in one week. I’m trying to spend all the time I can with my friends and family. On a lighter note, kinda…annoying actually…my tablet hasn’t come in yet. They said I would probably get it at the beginning of school so…….like I said, annoying.
