Homesick

Today I felt my first bout of homesickness. It's been making me procrastinate a lot. I just haven't really had the motivation or the energy to do anything. Looks like I'm going to have to push back doing laundry one more day (don't worry, I still have clean clothes to wear!). I also ate a whole thing of macaroni and cheese, which wasn't very good. I even made the noodles in my hot pot... which didn't work as well as I had hoped. Next time I'll just use a pot. Unfortunately my mother is going to see that I ate a whole pot of macaroni and cheese... oh well... I'll eat a lot of fruit and vegetables tomorrow. She will be glad to hear that my favorite thing to eat from the cafeteria (other than soft-serve..... but I limit myself!) is the roasted vegetables, which could actually do with a little less oil. I also have hardly touched the jar of nutella sitting on my bookshelf. I think I'm going to go on a run tomorrow to try to keep the freshman 15 off, or as I heard someone say, the freshman 40. Things are going pretty well. I'm making friends and enjoying classes for the most part. Today's classes weren't all that great, which is interesting because they were my two favorites. We are reading this strange story in Spanish class where this woman is reminiscing about her past, while excaping her house which is on fire, and there is this grafic scene, and her husband is obsessed with sex, and then he hangs himself, and thats only pages 7-27... so.... Spanish should be interesting. I'm trying not to cling to certain friends too much, just because I'm feeling homesick and want to hang out with people, but I don't want them to get sick of me, so I just have to make sure I mix it up.

Today has basically been a mess of getting up early, waiting for class to end, getting two packages, taking a 2 hour nap, listening to the Senate, eating, and trying to occupy myself with various other things so I don't get to self conscious or weird, and basically trying to get through the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
