Staying Up Late

[sherryillk]

I'm staying up late because I can't bear to think of this as my last day here before I'll be going... New York is so far away... I can't believe I chose a school that's on the other side of the country. It amazes me now to think that was one of the deciding factors in why I chose to apply there.

I packed a bit tonight and it scares me that I really don't have that much stuff to bring. I have most of my clothes all packed up, my CDs and laptop all good and put away. I've chosen to take a few stuffed animals (my Bear-chan and my Beary) as well as my plushies (Isumi-chan! Touya-kun! Shindo Hikaru!). I'm pretty good actually... It's still freaky that in twenty four hours, I'll be in the airport, just getting ready to board my plane. And then in 36 hours, I'll be in New York and I'll be officially away from home and starting my college life and career. Scary! I don't know what to do right now besides get through the day.

I'm hoping to stay at the dorm. My mom wants to me to go with her to Brooklyn and spend a couple of days buying supplies but I feel like this is the wrong time to be going off. This is an important roommate bonding time! God, I'm not even sure I'm going to like my roommate. I mean she works at Abercrombie for god's sake! Geez, if that's not a turn off, then what is? How will she be like when Sherry-the-anime-freak descends upon her? How will she react when I blast my anime and Japanese music from my computer or when I become an incomprehensible freak when my Kimeru DVD arrives? It's all up in the air. I shouldn't worry. I don't want to worry. God, I'm worrying. This sucks.

I almost wish I was going into another year of high school.

> How will she react...
That's easy. She'll kill you. I presume it'll be fast and (almost) painful and you won't feel a thing. So there's nothing for you to worry about :)

Bah, my freshman year roommate and I were doomed from the start. ^^;; I called her when I found out who she was to talk about what we were bringing, etc... she basically said "I don't intend to bring anything, I don't care who you are, I have no interest in your small talk." --;; Once we actually met, she turned out to be a militant black activist who on her own words had "never really wanted to be friends with a white person" and whose only interests and conversation topics were, um, the plight of the African-American in education today. oO; We managed to live together okay because 1.) we had the nicest room in the dorm and neither of us wanted to move out, and 2.) we were both very neat and polite, so we managed not to annoy the other, even when I would have friends over to watch anime or she would do things like go to Canada for a week and not tell me she was going (witness me debating whether I was supposed to call the police or something if she never came home, lol). However, some of my friends got roommates who did stuff like pee on the carpet at 6am when she was drunk (now THAT would be bad XD;;;;), have sex (in full view) at all hours of the day and not stop when other people came into the room, etc. @_@;;;

Uh, not to scare you or anything. XD;;; But if she turns out to suck, try to switch rooms before things get bad, that way you can enjoy yourself more. But, she might turn out to be really nice/accommadating, too, so even if you don't have much in common you might be okay living together, lol. ^^ Good luck!
