black trenchcoats and cat shoes

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Time is flying by. For this one moment, I can grasp it by the tail and tell you of the new chapter that is unfolding in my life.

College. I was dreading it from the start. I didn't want to leave my family, my friends, my car, and most importantly Dan. I broke down in Dan's arms as I was saying good bye to him. I sobbed silently to myself the entire way up and cryed in the bathroom at the hotel we were staying at.

It's weird how a metaphore of birth can be derived from this. I was relising I was going to be without the things I cared the most for. Reality was sinking in and I was not ready to acept it like a newborn who crys when it is first born into the cold world. After less then a couple of days I also relised something, even though I dont have my family or my friends I can make friends, and they will be my adopted family. The seperation from Dan gives me time to work on my laborus foundation projects and I can see him every other weekend and talk to him online and on the phone. There are campus dogs to hug and nibbles is always in my room to make me smile. It has only been 3 weeks and already I see my transformation, my rebirth, taking place.

Another wonderful thing is Dan now has something to work for. Him and Andrew were up this past weekend and Dan is seriously pondering on going here. Their excelent bio and edu program (not to mention the top 13th university in the country) mixed with affordable tuition and coed houseing (and a nonstrict living policy). He seems to like the people up here (and all my friends think he's awsome ^^). I just hope he pulls through and works hard so he can get a better education.

At one point I will take b/w photo's of area's on campus to show you how magnificent and rural this place is. Its a big step from urban to rural. They dont even have a blockbuster or a home depo here....all they have is wallmart and wegmans (although, wegman's beats the shit out of associated). I miss good japanese food. On parents weekend (next weekened) my parents are bringing me up a long list of assorted items from the asian market. I must admit though, the food here is excelent (except at aide). The only things they fuck up are pizza, bagels, pasta, and rubins (they put mayo on them.....BARF!)..also people up here like to add mustard on their burgers...*shudders*.

That's about all that is interesting so far. Knowing life around here, something interesting is bound to pop up at one point or another!:P
