I am at college now.

[Colin Ex]

And it is eight million degrees here. So we have a fan going and all our goodies set up. Most of our shit is out of boxes, and it's 10.30 in the A of M, giving me about four hours of sleep, because I fell asleep at 6.30 or so because certain people outside were getting home from frat parties and sharing their love of rap music with everyone within about a mile. I suppose that it's at least partially my fault, though, because I stayed up until 3.00 or so talking to and bonding with people I had met earlier that evening walking around aimlessly.

The web connection, I also note, sucks ass. The server was totally annihilated by the blaster worm and is now in the recovery stage, and in addition to that the tech department is evidently woefully understaffed. C'est la vie.

So in conclusion, just making a little vanity post on how I am doing. Thanks if you sent me good vibes -- a lot of my "man, I am so fucked" concerns about college are melting away.

1. That's what allayed my fears during the first week...

That "bonding with people previously wandering about aimlessly" was the thing that started melting most of my homesickness away. I remember my friends living in on-campus, old dorms with three fans running full blast in the windows--and we were still sweating; I think when I visited them I sweated off around 10 pounds.

But remember, COLIN, we're pulling for you, and we'll keep sending those good vibes your way that everything works out super for you in that important first month. Hope they hurry up and get the server back up to speed, so you can talk with us anytime you feel like doing so. And I sure hope your first classes go great--and you meet some people worth bonding with in those, too! :D
