Life Update #2: First Week of College

Living away from home -- in a place without my mommy by my side or even a helper to cook food for me wasn't really a problem for me because ever since, I was always away from home for a couple of days. I'm always out there joining Journalism competitions and the like which is really far from our place so I had to sleep where the competitions were held. I also know how to cook and bake and stuff, so eating a "real food" isn't really a problem to me. I was really used to living with myself (but not totally, like really), but not until now.

You see, I am studying in the University of Santo Tomas, taking up Architecture. My college is known to be the "college that never sleeps" so I really have to live in a dormitory for my life to be easier. I think? Haha. I've been here for a couple of days now and for some reason, I was feeling very home sick! Separation anxiety? Haha! I was really having a hard time eating (even if I had the appetite) and sleeping so I was sleeping very late in the evening for the entire week. I also don't have an internet connection inside my room so I had nothing to do.

I was also at loss for a kadaldalan  in my dorm because 1) My sibs/mother isn't here for me to tell everything  to them 2) I don't feel like talking to my dormmates 3) Jesse was busy. But of course, a person is nothing without her best friend so Michelle was there the whole time! I was already crying because I had no one to talk to and good thing that she had her mobile phone already (yay Michelle!) so we went on texting for several nights. Add the fact that I was feeling nauseous every single night without me knowing why.

My first day of college? Well it didn't turn out how I imagined it to be. Our first day as blockmates was also our freshmen orientation and campus tour so we didn't have much time to talk. It was also scorching hot that day that made me feel irritable that made me not in the mood to talk. I imagined myself as the loud one on the first day maybe because of adrenaline but... yeah... my imagination didn't come true. No regrets, though! On the second day... I can't remember a thing on my second day. :|

But so far, I have made friends. It wasn't that hard, thank God! As usual, I'm with a bunch of guys plus one girl. I sometimes think that I'm becoming a guy because, well, I would just like to think that. Haha! I am also talking to some of the girls in my block, of course, but then again I prefer to be with guys as my companions because they do not have that much "arte" in their system. I would like myself to be the only one being maarte in the group. Hahaha! Selfish, I know. But more to that, guys are really great companions because they're funny, they're quick, they take care of you, and you won't feel stabbed behind your back when you're with them.

On the first week, we didn't have much assignments and/or stuff to do. Most of our professors were late, absent, or they give us early dismissals and such. But as I am currently typing this, my second week of college is about to end so I have to face a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow.

Blog post soon about the celebration of Jesse and I's first anniversary! :)
