Today made everything feel a whole lot better. Got up at 9, went to orientation at 10:30ish and met two girls, Casey and Kristy, who know a friend of mine at Dickinson where they go to school. Sat with them for the following lecture, then had lunch and met Jonah and Ian, who both hail from the Bay Area. After a good 36 hours of relative social isolation-- no friends, no cell phone, no communication-- this was all refreshing, to say the least.
Did more grocery shopping in town with the newfound friends, then headed back to the somewhat off-campus area called the Village where Casey, Kristy, Jonah and the girls' friend Anekit live in flats. We made ourselves dinner from the various groceries previously bought and laughed a lot, then headed to the campus pub. Had a little to drink, and confirmed for the umpteenth my dislike for all beer that's not Lambic Framboise (thanks, Bolesta).
After the pub closed down, we all headed into town once more to the Mercy nightclub, a truly refined and flashy joint. Dancing was not my scene, nor was it Anekit's, so we walked around the mostly-empty streets and talked. Good times, really.
I need to sleep so I can meet Jonah and buy a phone tomorrow. Love to all.
