Initiative

So I sit here in Media, PA at my Dad's laptop wondering why I am blogging rather than doing the reading of The Portrait of a Lady. I don't know why. I guess I just want to talk about the day today, so here I go.

Philadelphia was amazing.

So today was my "Accepted Students Preview Day" today at Drexel. I wanted to meet up with everyone that I have talked to over Facebook. I did see them, and talked to a few, but events didn't play out as planned. First off, we all originally were going to sit together at lunch. So the group texted me and told me to go the first lunch (there were two different lunch times available in the itenerary) and so I did. In order to get in, you had to turn in a ticket. So I did, and as soon as I got in there, the group texted me again changing it to the second lunch. "Seriously...?" was all that went through my mind. Now I was stuck in the lunch that I couldn't meet up with everyone.

Anyways, so I stood in the cafeteria trying to figure out what to do exactly. I found the trays, grabbed one, and then stood there gazing around. A girl caught my eye who was doing the same thing as me. I walked up to her and laughed and said, "Same situation as me? Found a tray, but don't know where to go from there?" She laughed and we ended up helping one another into finding a line to get food. We talked and I found out her name was Mag (pronounced "Meg") and she was by herself. So, I invited her to sit with me. I sat and talked with her for an hour or so and then the first lunch period was over and the rest of the agenda was needed to commence.

We left the cafeteria, walked to the main hall and continued on with the day. I learned many things about the school, some was redundant and other things were new.


After this event concluded, I was surprised with myself. Why? Because I took the initiative and started a conversation with Meg. I! I! Me! I don't start conversations. Or...rather, I didn't before. But, maybe, the atmosphere caught up with me. I always told myself that I wanted to be more social in college and I guess I am becoming that. What really surprised me beyond that fact that I started the conversation was that I was able to continue it on for so long.


I loved it.




College seems like it will change me for the better.

Delightful.




Oh yeah. To quickly add on to this entry: My major in Digital Media at Drexel only accepts about 45 people a year. I was utterly shocked. I was accepted to into it! I was one out of 45! I felt so lucky. Now I just need to find financing. Ugh.
