Old (Nerdy) Soul

So, move-in weekend on campus.

I'm very excited to be starting my college life, but it may not seem like it based on my activity the last couple days. I guess you could say I've been a little bit introverted. Not terribly, mind you. I've talked to lots of people and heard lots of names that I've inevitably forgotten already (That stuff will come with time, I'm sure :P). I've gone to all the rotational sessions that we've needed to attend for important information, buuut....

I haven't really done much on the "activities" side of things. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that the University makes such an effort to get the new students to be social and have fun before the serious stuff really starts, and I appreciate all the hard work the RAs do to that end. Nonetheless! I've, at least for a few years now, always been kind of an "old soul". I'm not a big activity/ice breaker person.

I came to this Welcome Weekend move-in thing very ecstatic about getting into my new room and getting classes started. Meeting people is very important, yes, and I'm excited to do that too! But I think I'll be able to do plenty of that once, y'know, the actual school starts.

All these activities kind of make me feel like I'm in summer camp. Believe me, I know how nerdy I sound when I say I'm excited to the point of butterflies about getting new textbooks and going to class. But that's just how I am! I'm a nerd. One with an old soul who'd probably rather be studying or sleeping than eating otter pops at midnight.

Then again, some could probably argue that I'm a cranky bent-over old woman instead of the much wiser-sounding "old soul" title I've chosen to go with. Suppose it depends on your perspective on camp activities. :P Anyway, just some thoughts! I promise I'm happy to be here! 

But hm, old soul or snarly old lady? I guess it's a fine line I'm treading here. I'll let you guys make your own verdicts I suppose. :)
