Now that introductions are out of the way I'd like to discuss my first few weeks at my new house.
Synopsis{if you don't care to read}: I'm doing FINE mom, gosh!
So in the beginning there was one. Soon after I arrived, there were two and I was the second one. The first will be referred to as Mark because that was the name of the two friends who came to help him move in. He's a good guy, smart, cleans up after himself, goes to the gym everyday, doesn't make much of a ruckus, and he thinks my jokes are funny so of course I liked him immediately. We are both out-of-staters so we moved in a day earlier, and basically I tagged along with his friends and family and tried to make good impressions. That night I stayed in the apartment style dorm by myself and enjoyed a pre-sh*tty wi-fi era by watching the emperors new groove and a few episodes of bob's burgers until about 3:00 when my laptop died. It was the real college experience.
The other two arrived the next day. One who will be named after his friend called 'Stikes' and the other who will be called Keith because it makes my life much easier. Stikes said very little and soon after moving in, disappeared to go have dinner with his mother and some family friends. He brought the TV for our living room though, so I didn't have a reason to find him at fault(although the TV does turn on by itself at night). Keith came in with like 20 people, all of them, I believe, within his immediate family so our space became very crowded very quickly. I stuck to the couch as the commotion swirled around me until they all left and peace once again returned to the land. Not much bonding went on until the third night when Keith and Stikes came into the room with a 24 pack of delicious and refreshing Pepsi Cola, my beverage of choice, and a few other people that I became acquainted to at a surprisingly rapid pace. We had a shindig of sorts, which was lots of fun, until about 2 in the morning. I walked one of my new friends home and made great conversation with her. She is very much like I describe my self in the earlier bit and it is always a pleasure to go back and forth with her.
When she was safetly back to her residence hall, I wished her a good night and then returned home. Home. That was the first time I truly started to miss what I had left behind. I began thinking, which is never any good for me, about my friends, my brothers, my family and all that junk. Most of all I thought about the one who means more to me than anything else. If I had one wish, one condition i could change, one deal that I could make, it would be to bring her closer to me. Even if it was by a mile, my heart would be a mile closer to finally being able to rest knowing that she was around. I miss you terribly love. I only hope you find comfort where you are and in knowing that I'm waiting for the day we can be together again.
Anyway I'm doing okay, I just get sad sometimes I guess. Ill learn to live with it, thats what college is all about right?

Harry- You've got a great writing style for a blog. In fact it is almost like you are speaking out loud- which I enjoy. I am glad you've started to adjust to college. It is hard to be away from family and friends and a long distance relationship is tough! It is good that you can start to consider USC home, slowly but surely it gets easier!
