i skipped math class today so i could see heather off. i felt so oddly bereft after she got in the cab, even though when i got back upstairs all my friends were waiting to go to lunch with me. it was so comforting having someone from home here. i'm going home again this weekend, making it three weeks in a row i'll have been off campus. most people are at school, so i'll probably hang out with melissa and stoner. plus i must get my mom a birthday gift and find myself a sword. the second weekend in november i'm going to visit sara, i'm so excited. my mom's going to pick me up friday and then i'll drive to pc on saturday. we're going to go to some big thrift store, god do i miss them ,and wendy and i could use another throw rug too, and a strip club called the foxy lady because yes we are both 18. and there's a huge mall which doesn't hurt. and there's sara!! i'm very interested to see how providence matches with FU, since people always say that we're really similar to them in terms of people. and then she can come here, and after heather, whom we all know is an experience that can shock people on their first exposure to her (lol), she'll have no problems. i was the pfirst person of my friends to have someone stay over, and i think four days is a record lol. my RA was a little surprised when i filled out the pass for four whole days. speaking of guest passes and such, things are much different at NYU. there there's a guard in all the dorms, and you have to show your ID, not just swipe it in a card thing, and if you want to get into someone else's dorm you need someoen from there to let you in and sign you in. wow. here all the cards open the dorms, except after like 11pm your card will only work on you own dorm. but there's always people smoking around the dorms so it's never a problem. heather tried to tell me that she felt less safe walking around our peaceful quad at night than walkng around manhattan, because it's not as bright and there's less people. it's frickin fairfield. nothing bad ever happens here. in fact, a kid from here was shot in new york city, admittedly in brooklyn and not near flanny, but still, there's no way this little rich suburb is more dangerous than nyc.
