First day of school: A life of an introvert

I wasn't too pumped that it was my first day of college. I guess it was more of a burden to me. I hate studying. It was never my plan to study. However, being in this school differs everything. It was sad for me that all of the Setonians who were studying in SFU as well are together in their classes. Even the person who has told me we have each other's backs wasn't part of my class. It was sad thinking that I wouldn't be spending my classes with my best friend. Though from the looks of it, he didn't even needed me. Mj already has his own group of friends and I was a loner sitting like an idiot.

At the orientation that was lead a week ago was a death sentence for me. Yes, I had new friends. I didn't make them though. The whole time I was with Janella Avila, a former Setonian like myself. She kept making new friends and introducing them to me. I was never the kind of person who smiles at strangers. I'm not the kind of person who's friendly at first. Anyway, it sucks that our 'new friends' aren't in the same course as us. Though for the second day of the orientation, Janella introduced me Mhary. Mhary was in the same course and in the same classes with me. At least now I know I have someone to go with.

This morning my brother drove me to SFU. He wanted to leave the house at seven-thirty in the morning although my assembly is at eight-thirty. I was being slow like a snail. I didn't want to be too early and stand in the lobby like an idiot. I checked my phone if there were texts. Den, a really close friend of mine, left me a text message asking if I could come with her to get her uniform. I got another text message from Mhary saying that we'll be waiting for each other in the lobby. I guess I was pretty excited to see new faces. I got in my uniform and hated it. I hated looking formal, I hated looking classy. I had no choice. I got my Slytherin tumbler and hopped in the car. I placed my tumbler in my bag. Dean was just driving. I felt something wet by my skirt. Great, for the first day, I would go to school with a wet skirt! I practically looked like a wet myself! Now everything in my bag was wet. I took out my tumbler and just carried it with me. The traffic was mental! It wasn't the perfect road for my first day. When we got near the school, cars were all over the place. I felt something wet in my bad. Yes, we left at seven-thrity, and arrived at eight-twenty. I guess my problem of being too early was never there. Even though it was late, my friends weren't there. They were texting me that they're on their way.

About five minutes later, I saw Den with a white long sleeves polo and a black skirt. I accompanied her to the uniform place. I went out and saw Ms. Annabelle, a friend of mom and dad's that is working in SFU. She told me to get down to the assembly area because I might get late.

Mj was texting me to go there as well. When I got there, I looked tired because Ms. A and I were looking for the place. I saw Mj sitting with his friend and I went there. When I got my seat, Mj was laughing, as usual. Mj introduce me to his friend, Ryan. Ryan's Korean. I wasn't late. The dean for Hospitality Management came in and discussed house rules. Then she dismissed us. Mj and I exited together. His classroom was just next door. We talked a bit since it wasn't time yet. I was in a hurry though, so I left Mj and followed the other people. Our class was downstairs. i saw Mhary and tapped her in the shoulder. We sat beside each other and she introduced me to her friend, AC.

As I said before, I'm very shy. I'm quiet.

The professor came in and introduced herself and made us introduce ourselves as well. I introduced myself as Mabel. Yeah, I guess I made my own label for myself. Pretty lame.

After the introduction, Ms. Roda, a staff for the Hospitality Management, came in with Den. A huge smile on my face lit up when she was there. For this class, we talked about different kinds of bars! It was interesting really.

We had a break for an hour. The rain was pouring! We couldn't go to McDonald's so we went to Southville International Schools and Colleges' canteen instead. Their canteen was crap compared to Seton's canteen! I ended up buying a burger.

For the next class, we talked about the history of restaurants. It was pretty amusing.

After everything, I got up and I commuted home. When I got home I slept at once.

I really miss my best friend though. I thought in someway he wouldn't need me anymore. I thought he wouldn't be there for me since he had new friends. I guess I should've known better. He will always be there for me. When he got home, he immediately sent me a message in facebook. He was worried that I was being too quiet. Ryan told him that I wasn't active. Mj gave me some tips on how to get friends. I will try again tomorrow.
