Better than expectations

So the job up here in Orlando was better than I predicted. It's not a bad job, and the distance isn't as far as I originally thought. It's only about thirty minutes from my dorm, or 14 miles. My manager is a decent, friendly, nice person (most of the time), and the work isn't that difficult, well, at least not for me. And the pay is a little better than the job I have with my parents. I mean, I feel ok about the job, and I'm kind of glad the manager isn't a bad person. It's also only 2 days a week, and the owner is always trying to figure out ways to write off lunch to the company account (yay! Free food for me). So I guess it's a pretty good job.

First day of school was Monday, and so far it's going pretty well. Though it's a 30 minute walk from my dorm to my class. That hasn't bothered me yet, though I think I need comfier sandals. It's gotten so hot on the pavement that it's melted the top part of my sandals, and it has completely ruined all comfiness.

What's bothered my so far though is the lack of friends I have up here. I've been trying to join a few clubs, but so far I haven't seen any of the meetings yet... and my room mate isn't too talkative of a person, so I don't get my socializing from them. To make things worse, I'm use to the close nit classes of a community college, where everyone in the class meets and talks to everyone else in the class, and by the end of the first week everyone knows everyone else's name. That's not how it is here. My smallest class has 50 students, while my C Programing class has 219 students. So I'll find someone to talk to one day, but the next day I won't be able to find them again due to the number of people in the class (well, Differential Equations, the 50 student class, doesn't count, but no one talks before or after the class... I think it's for antisocial people). So I've been feeling kind of lonely up here.

On top of that, I haven't been able to spend time with Sean at all =(. I've only been able to catch him online once or twice over the week, and we're trying to plan something on Friday so I can cuddle with him again, but I haven't heard back from him yet, and it's Thursday night. I like him a lot... I do. We share similar interests, and dating him means that at least I have someone... but that doesn't mean much when you never see each other. And before you ask, no, we haven't done anything more than cuddle, though that's largely due to the fact I haven't physically seen him enough to do more than that.

Anyway, I'm going to call it a night. I have class tomorrow morning... and I'm not feeling too uppity at the moment to continue typing.
