If I Thought New York Would Change My Life...

I am totally right. Before coming here I wasn't used to being independant. There was always someone breathing down my back or checking up on me. It really blew. I hated always having to tell my mom where I was going, who I'd be with, and when I'd be back. I also wasn't as responsible. I wasn't totally incapable of doing what I'm supposed to but I was definately a procrastinator. I kinda still am but I'm really working on it. So I wanted to get my schedule changed, and instead of bitching about it, I just did. Took like 15 minutes from the time I checked in with the receptionist to the time I got my new schedule. My whole morning was a success from my standpoint. I got to class on time, went to the gym, played basketball, changed my schedule, AND got some books from the library. I just feel really accomplished. And the other day I was playing spades with my roomies. I got the urge to walk and ended up doing just that. I just said 'okay guys, be back later'. That was it. I mean I could have explained myself no problem, but I didn't have to. Maybe I'm making this sound like a big deal. Its not I'm just really excited for myself. I knew, knew, knew; before I even got here, that if I was put in a situation where I had to step out of my comfort zone I would succeed. Usually I'm shy, but all during freshman weekend, with ice breaker games and such I put myself out there and met people. It was just about the smoothest transition I could ever imagine. I wasn't getting butterflies trying to talk to people, and I don't know where this confidence came from but I'm willing to bet its this NY atmosphere =]
