Good day

Well,

I'm going to be honest... This day started off really low. I went to sleep in a sort of panic-attack state because I felt lonely. It's hard to grasp that I'm in this city and don't know more than five people that live here. 

The morning brought some panicky feelings as well, but it improved a lot. I visited this cute boutique that is a mixture of vintage and also does neat things like knitting for beginners for adults, and it's awesome. The place also sells artwork by the owner or other local illustrators. I talked to the owner for a while and she's really cool. I ended up purchasing a print that the owner did that I will insert here:

It's quite a pricey little shop, though. 

Despite feeling like I haven't accomplished much and my past little week has been empty, I've actually done a decent amount. I've bonded with my roommates, made some nice dinners, and gone exploring in and around the area, and also Hamilton with one of my good friend, and former roommate, Alyssa.

I received my temporary schedule today and it's decent. I have Monday off right now and Friday is packed but I'll have to move stuff around to do conflicting class. I have to choose my electives still... I don't really understand college course selection at all.

Some photos of dinners:

My exploration:

I really like the photo of Richard and I, but I also look at myself and see gigantic legs. Sigh. I wish I was just naturally a toothpick. 

I need to start really working out again. I want to be down ten pounds by the end of the summer.. and if anything I've just gained.
