New Experiences

Well, I'm officially settled in at University of Michigan. It's okay so far. Classes haven't started yet so I can only speak on my apartment, roommate, and few students I've seen...lol. Next week I have a second orientation at the dental school and it'll be all day. I'll meet more students and hopefully make some networking connections to get myself where I want to be.

My apartment is nice, I like it a lot. It's not real huge or anything, but I have enough space for me and if someone wanted to stay it wouldn't be uncomfortable. My color scheme is like a burgundy and dark brown. Somewhat nontraditional for me because I usually do bright colors or pastels. So, this is a nice change and a little more mature I guess...lol. It's more like warm colors, maybe It'll help me stay more focused...lol.

My roommate seems cool so far. We seem to be like minded so that works well in terms of cleaning and quiet...lol.

All I've seen since I've been here are people from Asian countries. And also, a few from middle eastern countries. I have to change my way of thinking because at HU when I heard international students it was those from Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, or Africa. It's okay though, I knew that coming in things would be a completely different. Nothing can compare to my experience at Howard University, that's where I 'grew up' ...lol, and found myself. I'll just learn even more about myself as a individual and be a better person for it.

My use to be 'friend', went here a long time ago and he didn't like it. But while he was here and I was at HU our friendship really grew because we shared our experiences with each other. I haven't spoken to him in almost 2 1/2 years now, but I honestly do miss his friendship, especially now that I'm here. (Dang...lol) But I dont see us reuniting and that's fine, it's okay to miss people :)

A friend of mine from works lives out here in Ann Arbor and he wants to go out to lunch on Tuesday, so that'll be good before I get consumed with classes. Did I mention I have 7 classes?? ?? One in the medical school and all the others in the dental school. I'm excited, I've always wanted a career in dentistry and this is just the beginning.

My mom is coming up with my books today and she should be here soon, I need to find something to eat...lol. That's one thing I didn't miss about college life (being broke and practically starving..lol). Oh well....

My poet friend has been 'so busy', I haven't really talked to him a lot this week. He seems to be okay though, he has a feature down here in mid September, so I told him I'll go. We'll see how this goes, if anything I just need a friend right now and to keep things as simple as possible :)
