PHC is starting to feel natural already - only so much is unnatural that I am constantly feeling twinges of nostalgia.

But for every bad thing there is also something nice. I miss my own class so much already. I'm even missing the class that came before mine. Still, I can tell already how much I'm going to enjoy getting to know the new freshmen - and everyone else. I've been insulated by my own friends so much that I've missed many of the excellent people in the lower classes. I'm going to have fun being a big sister.

I miss Gabi very much. Yesterday I was feeling very strange indeed until Em showed up. Then everything settled back into its proper place. I am incredibly comforted by the knowledge that Em is just across the hall. Also, I have my own room. When I slept last night in peace, quiet, and privacy, I knew this was going to be a good semester.

My room is huge! I have one of the rooms that is supposed to hold 3-4 students. It has two sets of bunks, and I'm only sleeping in one of the beds. There are three other beds unslept-in! I am turning the other lower bed into a couch, and today I'm going to buy a few beanbag or fold-out chairs for the tremendously empty corner of the room. I'm going to have to give parties and have lots of folks over. :D  ¶ 6:28 AM
