Exhausted doesn't even begin to describe my physical state right now.

Today was my first day as a college freshman. I'll admit that I wasn't too excited about starting college. It's just school, right? And I'm not taking the most exciting classes. History, Geography and Psychology are subjects that I am definitely not extremely interested in. Thankfully, I have teachers who seem very cool. I'm looking forward to Geography the most, I think, because the teacher seems like she'll make it fun to learn.

I can't stand being surrounded by people for so long, though. I can handle people for a short amount of time. I can even handle people in small amounts for very long amounts of time. But when I'm required to be pleasant while surrounded by people, it just gets exhausting. I was never meant to spend so much time with people. I'm an artist, artists, especially writers, are a lonely people. At least most of the writers I've met have been. Sure, I enjoy spending time with a small group of good friends, or even a medium sized group of people I'm only semi comfortable around. But strangers on all sides is not a situation I deal with well.

My first day of college was, I am proud to say, a success! Let's just see if I can keep it that way.
