Adventures in Homecoming

I feel really displaced here. Like, it's good to be back but so many little things changed when I was away. Like, the bus schedule is different. The buses used to go to Amherst on the :10 and :40, but now they're on the :20 and :50. The Amherst Brewing Company moved. There are all these new people on campus I don't know. I almost walked into my old mod yesterday. My new mod is nice and my room is pretty sizable, but I'll always miss the closeness I felt last year. Even though that closeness was hard a lot of the time, I felt like I was part of a family. It's nice to have peace and quiet where I live now, because I definitely got none of that last year, and my new modmates have been really welcoming, but I've only been back for two days and they've gone by very slowly. I also have to figure out my Div 3 soon, and I'm just completely lost about it.

I'm sitting in one of my favorite coffee places now, trying to write cover letters but mostly just blogging. I just sent one to Penguin though. We'll see how that goes. Maybe sometime soon I'll write something funny here, or compile a list of my favorite "Shit ____ Say" videos or talk about which books I decided to take to college in the end. But right now I just feel kind of uprooted and like I'm trying to get to know someone I haven't seen in a while who's different but I can't put my finger on how.
