Off to a bad start...

So my first week here at Iowa State was tiring. My classes are going to be a lot of work, not hard per-say, just not allowed to slack off. However this first week was almost fun. I spent a lot of time with my room-mate and old friend from Iowa Western (Community College). We went on adventures, exploded our new home, and played a ton of video games. However, apparently school and being away from home was too much for her. Yesterday she decided to drop all her classes and go home. It was a total shock. I understand her degree (biology) is a million times harder than mine (fashion design and merchandising), but to call it quits so early in the game?

She said she was just plain miserable. I don't want that for her. If she was really that sad, then she should go home. However, I'm concerned about myself now. She was the only thing keeping me from locking myself inside my dorm and being homesick. I remember my first day here, when I was moved in a whole day before her...it was the longest day ever. I don't know what I'll do now. On the bright side, I'll have a lot more alone time to do my work, sewing, and other things. However, she was my only friend here...so I'll have far more alone time than I ever wanted.

Wish me luck in this new plot turn...
