So today was supposed to be all easy and just getting set up, and it was to some extent. I'm super excited about my interior decorating in my room and the prices at the grocery store down the street. Getting my apartment starter pack of basics felt great! It makes me feel like this is really happening!
This afternoon the Aberdeen Arcadia group (all 5 of us) went to a nice restaurant for a large lunch, and it was sooo good. Omg there is this pudding type toffey caramel dessert there that you pour this cream on and it tastes like heaven... literally lol. It was amazing. Jordan and I nearly shit a brick when we saw someone eating it lol. After our lunch we stopped in the grocery store and while setting up some of my groceries in the apartment I got to know my flat mates a little better. They are all nice girls, if not a little shy. But I'm working on being really friendly and social to make the transition to university easy for them. This is their first time living away from home and I remember that it could be kind of difficult. I kind of feel like a mom here, but I don't mind. Getting to know more people here makes me feel happy, whether it be at a pub or helping them set up their internet lol.
The girls in Bri's room are totally fantastic. I went over there to cook dinner with Bri and we had a great time talking and then we all went out to the bar on campus. It was pretty funny watching all the newly legal drinkers, but we had a good time hanging out there. We met up with some other people we knew and before we knew it a herd of guys had descended and they were completely sloshed. When they heard some of us were from American they got all excited and started talking about malls and juice boxes in American accents lol. It was pretty hilarious. What was even more hilarious was their attempt to make passes at us, it was pretty pathetic lol. I felt so old and experienced compared to these 17/18 year old guys lol it was kind of like I don't really belong there. Some guy asked me how old I was and I said nearly 21 and he was like "fuck off! I would have said 17!" lol but just being more or less sober and watching all of this go down was super amusing. It was kind of like reliving an extreme Wooster orientation all over again. I probably acted stupid too, but seeing it all from a different view really made me realize what it's like for all these people trying to kick off university the right way lol. The night did get pretty crazy, especially back at the guys' flat which they completely trashed with spilling drinks and crap. So it really turned out to be a lesson in freshers and not pouring beer on other people.
