So here I am. New town, Lived here for 8 days now and I have to say it is gorgeus out here, its really a city, on the map, but its not really any bigger than the town that Im from. I really like my new place, Im renting parts of an old womans second floor, I have my own big-ass balcony and everything!
The school is the biggest building Ive ever been in, I mean its enormous! 4200 students and 450 employees. Very impressive, My class seems like a very nice bunch of people, alot of people in their twenties, like me, some younger, and alot older. My oldest classmate is 55 I believe.. They all seem very fun, but kind of uninterested in communicating with me. The people my age, the ones I most actively seek out seem to deliberatly drift away from me and I am uncertain why. This is the same that happened in Bergen too.. I engage them in conversation and after a while they very subtly freeze me out, I seek them out alone and again they subtly drift off till i take a hint and take the walk of shame away. Maybe time will fix this, once they get to know me I won't seem so intimidating to them... I dont know..
The studies.. oh god the studies! I love it! I am very lonely but Im burrowing myself in books and new knowledge, Im ahead of most the people i talked to today in reading, so maybe that will get me noticed by them once I get the handle on all the things Im learning these days :-) And being a student is so much fun!
I just wish the nights weren't so damned lonely! This time Im really trying, so hard.. Im out there, Im positive and I meet everyone with a smile, I just dont understand why people I meet shy away from me. At pizza night last wednesday I made a girl from class laugh so hard she asked me (jokingly) to sit at another table so she could eat her meal. And today my heart soared when we were grouped together, we go to our study stations and she doesn't even give me a smile...
Well they're stuck with me either way, Im not giving up or going away this time. So they can either love me or ignore me. I sincerly hope I can make atleast ONE friend this time though. I dont have anything to move home to, so moving home in spring, knowing I have a friend, a real friend would give me some wind beneath my wings.
