Sydney's first day....

i am exhausted.
not physically, not emotionally, not mentally.
all of them - put together.

today was my first day of college. i was awake at 6:20, and out of the house at 7:20. by 8:20, i was at my brand new college.
then i had to line up. in the biggest queue ever. then we looked behind us. boy, did i feel sorry for the poor guy at the back. who wants to be last in a queue of 1680 people? not me. luckily for us, we were in the first eigth or so. and i got my timetable in milliseconds.
then we wandered around in a secondary school segregated kind of group. and then we went to tutor.
now i had this fear my tutor was going to be some drunk artsy woman who was practically professor trelawney. instead i get a super nice dolores umbridge - honestly, looks just like her, without the pink - and she is super nice.
i sat next to a girl called Sian, who seemed really friendly, and also really familiar, although i have no idea where from, and it's freaking me out a little.
then we had maths. oh my god. my teacher is a whiny bitch. but this was counter acted by one thing. India. a girl, with a nose ring, who moved here from Germany, and boards and is pretty much the most rock and roll and incredulously interesting person i have ever met. i really hope i sit next to her next lesson, because this is exactly the kind of person i wanted to meet at college.
more boring tutor stuff was then followed by lunch. where i joined some guy from my primary school, along with secondary school buddies and some college people i don't even know yet. it was different.
general studies... yeah.
and then in drama and theatre we had to take off our shoes and hug people we'd never met before in our lives - i am now a baptised hippie. and in that class was a girl called Charlotte who had some of the greatest accessories known to woman and doesn't live that far from me!
and then we had the funniest bus ride home, by this time my head was throbbing and my eyes ached so much from tiredness, but i just couldn't stop laughing. plus, some girls who i knew when i was like six go there too. this college is like all the people who've lingered about in my memory from when i was little - random cut outs of an old diary.

overall. it was a good day.
now i'm going to shower, and hopefully be in bed before 8:30.
then i get to do it all over again.
