C: Excuse me, do you know where the Medical Science Center is?
Random Boy: No, sorry--I'm a first year too!
C: ...I'm a fourth year.
Random Boy: Oh. Wow.

And this happened twice!!

Fail, fail, fail.

My phone died while K was giving me directions to my first class, which was located in an obscure area off of the main campus near the freeway. He actually biked over to make sure I found my way ok, even though his class wasn't until much later in the afternoon. Sweet.

While I was looking for the building, I met someone who happened to be taking the same course. We have a lot in common: he was originally an Art major who then switched to English--difference is, he's now finally settled on Psychology and is minoring in Education. I think it was meant to be. I keep congratulating myself for making a friend for once in a giant lecture hall and sitting among people instead of isolating myself to the back corners as usual.

As if rewarding me for being social, my milk tea was upgraded (KB was working today).

Bumped into M later during the day in the complex--apparently, she lives practically right next to my building. She's offered to let me borrow her clicker, which saves me $50.

Spent a good half hour at the arcade after my last class meditatively pumping away at Time Crisis 4. 70% accuracy--one handed, baby. One dollar gives you five tokens, games are only about two tokens per play, and the place is ghost town around 7 o'clock, I've realized. Lovely. Does it get any better?

It does.

Tonight, everyone, well almost everyone, was out in the living room talking for hours about random things; it was like live action StumbleUpon musical chairs. We've christened the apartment--it definitely feels lived in now. My new housemates (whom I refer to as "The Lost Boys," for I feel I am their Wendy) are great:  L 's a break dancer, K's a Shaman, and R is kind of like the male version of myself.

The only kink in this living situation is that J is moving out for a couple of quarters due to financial aid issues, so there'll be a new and unfamiliar addition to the household some time soon. He has yet to find him or her though. Hopefully, nothing will change too much. It's pretty amazing at the moment.
