from my newest story

For people who know me this is a common phrase but I started in new story and since I'm away from my computer I put this little segment here till I get back and stuff so her is a piece for now:

The world, a crazy mixed up place

From Caira's point of view
Part of Strange Adventures

I guess that I should have expected everything to go wrong but silly me I hoped things would be normal or at least something remotely like it. After sitting with an advisor who didn't listen to a word I said, I began to figure out that things were just going to get worst from there. I thought that it couldn't get any worst but then I found that my only friend, Vana, on the entire campus didn't want to be my roommate. She said that college was about new growing experiences and making the most of it all. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't mentioned that I was going to this school too and her gasped reply that so was she, we wouldn't even be here together. Then it hit me that Vana was trying to get away from me. Of course, that was a real bring down. I even think she thought I was following her even though I didn't know what school she was going to until that day. Now here I am, unwanted and alone in a strange place, far from my home. My parents thought it would be good for me to go away for college and not be right with them. To 'build my independence away from them and become my own woman' as they say.

So now I sit in a dorm I don't want, alone on a strange campus waiting for my stranger roommate. All in the name of 'new experience and expanding my horizon', in my opinion my horizons are expanded as far as they will go.
