Excited to be near the aquarium! (I told him on the way to SF to make sure I have his current address this fall, because I know I'm gonna find stuff to send him. $10 says I find a sea turtle postcard.
Excited to have a roommate! I hope that we either become really close friends or are good friends with benefits. Plus it'll be nice to just have someone who lives with me and knows me, inside and out.
I'm excited for my major. The art department is so cool and they use things I've never dreamed could be made into art! I'm ecstatic for that.
I can't wait to be on my own. Whether I have the car or not, I'm gonna be all on my own! Finally!
However, I'm gonna miss everyone. I've made such good friends at De Anza, it'll be hard to leave them. Even the friends I just met, Patrick and his two roommates are such awesome people.
His roommates are brothers. Both do martial arts, the younger one is a music genius and videographer (is that what it's called?), also is currently in the hospital. In a freak accident, he became severely injured. Saturday I want to see him, I haven't yet.
Both he and his brother are such good hosts and so polite, but the younger brother and I have a thing going. One day I spent a few hours, just he and I in the house, it was great. We sort of developed a bond (unless it's in my head), especially because we're the same age. For some reason that made me feel I could relate to him.
I've been having daymares about him waking up in the hospital alone. The first people he sees are doctors and nurses telling him what happened, what treatment they're giving him, why he's so heavily sedated.
It's a terrible thought. I had hoped that he'd wake up to his brother's worried face, who'd then be happy he was awake. I suppose it's a little strange to feel such a deep connection to people I just met, but some people are just open for connection. Those brothers are those people.
Always wanting new friends, always polite and good hosts, fun people who are living and loving life. How could you not feel a connection with people like that? They're such great people. When I visit from Monterey, I know they'll be cool with me crashing there (or wherever they are).
I'm a little sad to go. I've just met all these people, some last quarter and others last month. They're all great people in one way or another and I'll be sad to leave them.
Especially Patrick. He's one person I can tell anything without having to worry about him judging me, I don't necessarily get that from my other friends. Sure, they'll listen, but many of us get defensive about our opposing viewpoints because we feel we're being judged.
Patrick is like the best therapist ever. He just listens, ponders, gives some advice but then makes sure you'rs not putting yourself down and tries to get you to see other perspectives.
To be sure, I'm excited for life in general, because here's where it's gonna get even more exciting! New chapter in my life, new experiences, new adventures.
