Fifty-Eight
Hello everybody!
As far as first-week-of-schools go, I'm having a really really great time. All my life I've encountered luck after luck, and now I find that it has yet to leave me. I think it's because some of the girls have been going to school since the beginning of the year, so they're already comfortable with everything. They started introducing themselves and asking the rest of us new kids to introduce ourselves on the first day; by the next, I had already learnt and remembered all their names. By the third I had known who's funny and loud, who's nice and quiet, who's serious and observant; and by the fourth I had figured out what makes them laugh, and what doesn't. By the fifth, I was feeling comfortably comfortable.
I won't deny it - we're not the same. No one talks like I do, or laughs at the all the things that I would find funny. We don't watch the same shows and we don't listen to the same kind of songs. I doubt that I would ever, completely and wholly, meld in with them, at least not like the way I did with S4P '08, and not so soon. But that's okay, because no one is like S4P, and I don't expect them to be. But it doesn't stop me from having a great time around them (they're extremely hilarious people).
I'm counting my blessings.
