Journal Entry #62: 08/09/23 - Finding Comfort

┈┈┈┈․° ☣ °․┈┈┈┈

I'm feeling a bit better today. 

However, I've learned a few things about being outside by myself: it's a little scary. Crossing roads can be dicey when I want to go off campus or cross over. Also, it feels like everyone is staring at me! I know they aren't, but it sure feels like it.

Yesterday, I went to an outdoor event, which ended up making me feel a lot better. Even though I've had a short stay so far, I haven't really seen that many people. I've seen girls who are rushing, people playing video games, people hanging out outside, but no large groups of people. I typically hate crowds, but when you've only seen small groups of people for a bit, a crowd every once in a while, won't hurt.

I haven't done much today yet, but I did go to CVS about an hour ago. It was calm and tranquil in there, and the cashier complimented me on my outfit. Even though I'm a girl, I haven't gotten a compliment in a while, and I think this one just made my day :). What did not make my day though was the amount I had to pay for my mouthwash and eyeglass cleaner I got. Now I understand the issue with inflation. It sucks!

I also hope to shop a little today; I have a gift card to a specific store and I'd like to check it out when I have the chance. My roommate has more rush stuff to do. I wonder what her schedule will be like after she gets into a sorority...

Anyway, I'm just kinda counting down the days until classes start...

Tchau,
