Day 2

Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have one class: Childhood, Socialization, and Culture. Seems pretty interesting considering i'm really into in the field of Child Psychology.
Today after my class I ended up taking a nap and unpacking all of my stuff. After all my clothes were in the closet I realized I didn't bring as much as I thought. But we'll see how that goes.
I cannot stress this enough: I AM SOOOO GLAD that I was paired with my roommate. Holy moly. Some of the girls around here... they plan their outings and classes around alcohol. It's ridiculous! A lot of them throw around mommy and daddy's money like it's nothing. The other day some girl spend $2,000 USD on bedding! BEDDING!!! Our beds are just fine as they are! Too many high maintenance people around here. They complain about everything: their classes, the showers, the food, etc. I'm glad i'm not rooming with any of them.
Speaking of the food.. I love food. It's pretty decent here. Not a big cafeteria but the food is good. You can only fill up your plate once. Once you hand your card over to be swiped you can't come back so I ALWAYS make sure to load up my plate. The girls here are crazy. They put a couple of veggies on their place, and pick at it. Then they complain about how they're hungry and want to go back to get food. They're all pretty weight conscious. I feel like a pig when i'm around them 'cause my plate is filled as much as possible while theirs has so much extra room. I feel like they stare and me and judge me on the inside, but I don't mind. I guess my swipes only pay for 2 meals a day, 5 days a week. It's not as bad as I thought but I find myself getting hungry from time to time. Lately i've been eating my Pocky that I brought from home. My roommate, Kristy, found this place down the street that gives you a sandwich, chips, and a drink for 2 pounds! That's pretty great in this area. NOTHING is that cheap.
Another thing about my roommate that I really like is that she is very conscious about spending her money. That's definitely something we have in common. She's not "cheap" necessarily, but she does know the value of a pound and doesn't spend it frivilously.
I feel like i'm sort of out of place here. I came so late, and everyone already knows everyone. I feel like I missed so much. I hope I get to meet some people and create some friendships soon! Otherwise i'll REALLY be out of the loop. Everyone has eachother's cell phone number and texts eachother all the time. It's hard to not feel out of place. My roommate really does a lot to help me feel included, though. I really couldn't ask for more. I don't consider myself a shy person. I know if I had been here for orientation week I would have made so many friends by now. It's just weird coming into the mix later, that's all. Definitely harder once everyone already has their little group set.
Thursday night i'm going with my roommate to "The start of the year party". That should be interesting. Maybe i'll meet some people there. I should also figure out what i'm doing this weekend considering they don't feed us Saturday/Sunday. I'd like some cheap Indian food. There's a place called "Wagamama" down the street that has Japanese food. Some other girls went there the other day and said it was pretty good and cheap. Maybe i'll check that out too.
Anyway, I guess that's all for the day.

Miss everyone at home! Thanks for reading.
