Yesterday I left the nest. Packed up all I needed and headed out to my new home.
Staying in housing for school for the first time and so far, I feel okay. I felt great sadness as I watched my family leave without me yesterday. My mum and sister cried, and it felt strange to sleep in a new place, in a bed that wasn't mine. However, I haven't cried and I don't yet feel weird. I feel fairly comfortable here and I've kept myself busy for the most part, so maybe I just haven't had time to think about how my friends and family are further away now.
My room-mates seem nice so far and we've already bonded well enough to be pretty comfortable with each other. I only hope I can make other friends as well; I don't want to become that person that clings to their room-mates and doesn't socialize with anyone else. I'm quite excited for the first day of school and I'm even more excited to start exploring this new city. I'm even excited to go back home, see familiar faces, and bring back some more stuff to entertain myself and decorate my side of the room with.
So far, this experience is exciting.
