Since I've been alone in a 3 person room for the past 2 days I have climbed on every surface, jumped on every bed and sat in every drawer. Despite how simple these things may seem I find myself rushing back here as soon as I'm released. The reason is simple; IT'S MINE! For less then 24 hours now this entire space belongs to me!!!!! And although I am highly uncomfortable even leaving the door unlocked when I use the bathroom there is something that feels very special about being able to safely do so.
Other, more permanent little things bring me joy as well such resting my phone on the outlet that is charging it or leaving my closet open or pulling a Doctor Pepper out of my mini fridge and sipping it while watching Pride and Prejudice and eating licorice. Deciding which parts of orientation I wish to attend tomorrow or if I would rather just stay home (HOME) and wait for my first roommate to arrive. Running around the city to see if I could buy an ethernet cable or get my hall key fixed or test my mailbox combination and doing all of it alone in the sunshine! Well, if anything, it almost makes me feel my age but I doubt I'll ever surpass 7 in my mind. 18 just seems a ridiculous number. It means Peter Pan wont come for you, you can't join the Kids Next Door, you can't have Fairly Odd Parents and you can't ride the Polar Express :-(
