Making Friends

School today kept me on my toes.  The morning was fine because I do not teach at all but after lunch it was go-time for both classes.  We got through 3 of the 4 subjects I teach today which is an accomplishment most days.  I told them about my adventure this weekend and how I decided to go on the roller coasters for grammar.  We were learning the meaning of different punctuation marks so I talked to them about all the different emotions and questions I had going through my head.  They seemed to enjoy it.  I even drew them a picture which they thought was crazy.  These students are so easily entertained; I will be using that to my advantage this year!
After school I went and did some grocery shopping.  I went to a different grocery store and picked up lots more produce for a much cheaper cost! Thank goodness! This evening I have been grading papers so my roommates can finally have the living room back! This week I am hoping to get out of the apartment a few days at least so I can possibly meet some new people.  I want to go look at a church not too far from here that has a Young Adult ministry in hopes of meeting some people.  I forget how hard it is to make new friends sometimes.  I know I just have to get involved in things that interest me but it seems different this time.  Making friends here seems like more of a challenge than college because I really don't know how to meet people my age I guess.  I feel like I'm at an awkward age right now because I'm newly-graduated but still fairly young and to put icing on the cake, in a city I know nothing about.  I'm trying to figure out and brainstorm ways of how to meet people in case St. Bernadette's, the church, does not pan out.

Thank goodness for friends back home because otherwise I don't think life would be the same down here.  I know I am always wanting to talk to someone from home, especially when I'm bored! Thanks for listening to me constantly, even when I have nothing important to say. Love you all!
