I did a bit better today, social wise. I...ehh. It was okay. The day where I had to do crap was, of course, boring. The hill sucks my ass. Seriously, to get to most of my classes I have to go from my dorm, past another dorm, across a little street, past the tennis and basketball courts, down a little wise, down a staircase with the equivalent

Be like, "Come hang out with me so I don't feel like a total loser with no social skills!!"?

Yeah, ask him to go eat lunch or dinner with you in the dining halls (and not like a date or anything) or find out if you both have class at the same time in close buildings, then you could walk together. That's how you make quick friends, find something that you HAVE to do, then find someone to do it with :)

I just did!!! Sort of. I still haven't met him, so I asked him to meet for lunch tomorrow after my classes end at noon because I don't know who else I'd eat lunch with. Oh, I just thought of people. Oh well. Anyway, we'll see what he says. If not, I'm just going to go down and try and find him anyway. But thank you for the suggestion/advice. :-)

You are welcomed. And remember, there are plenty of other people there like you, wanting to make friends, but timid. So sometimes you have to make the first move :)

I can hear you talking about me...!

Just come on down and introduce yourself. It really isn't that big of a deal (although I know why you are nervous and I would be too). If I was in your class I would be horrifically intimidated- every is so damn trendy and stuff- worse than last year. Oh, well. Just don't be afraid of people. Seriously- any common ground counts, and ours is Livejournal and music- that's plenty. The thing that makes me angry is that everyone else feels this needy for friends and social life, and yet they don't show it- and so one feels even more alone- without friends AND the only lonely person (it feels like).
Anyway, just come say hi and such, and that way you'll have someone to say hi really loudly and annoyingly to at Haas. Haas has a caste system, at least in the music department. The more friends you make from the more diverse worlds (i.e. you're a singer, but make friends with band and orchestra people as well) the better off you'll be.

That was the point, you know... :-)

At least give me your room number so I have bit more to go on. I'm not going to keep going down to Putnam and looking to see if anyone's playing piano in the lounge and if they are go introduce myself. Not that I've gone yet...but I've already gone up and down the hill three and a half times today, and one time going down I was running, so I'd like to limit my trips for the rest of the evening, you know? :-) Or you could say, "I'm going to be in the lounge at this time, so come down then." Whatever's easier for you. I don't know what I may be doing tonight, if anything, but I'll try and keep checking my e-mail for your reply to this.
