same idea, new experience.

Have you ever felt like you were in a movie, or perhaps being watched? I am not really talking about when there is drama in your life, and it seems that you are living out a soap opera, but more a feeling of surreal ness that surrounds you. Well, as odd as it may sound, I feel like there is a camera over my shoulder, following me, and there is an audience of people waiting to see what happens. Every time I leave my room and walk around the URI campus, after 5pm or so, I see no one, or perhaps catch a glimpse of someone across a green, or by a building, but when I get there, they are no where to be found. The cold and dampness that the weather gods have brought to us in May, only adds to this movie esque feeling. As I walk back from dinner, with the rustling of the trees and my footsteps the only sounds to be heard, a feeling of anticipation and expectation beings to build up, as though something worth showing is going to happen when I return to my room or interact with a neighbor. But when I arrive back to my dorm, and open my door, there is nothing; I find myself back in my new found single, with my physics homework waiting for me. And well, this is not supposed to sound sad or lonely, because this experience of living on another campus has not been negative, but just different and has made me aware of everything around me. And, that is the best way I can describe the oddness of living here, though, I am not sure if any of that makes sense, but I felt that I should share, and just so you all know, the alone time/independence has been a nice change and I have meet some nice people in my physics class. I am starting work next Tuesday, an internship at the Multicultural Center on campus, where I will putting together brochures, flyers and whatnot for their main event in late July, so that craziness shall be added to my mix of new summer experiences.

This weekend should be lots of fun-going to the Vineyard with Amanda and her family! Perhaps something exciting and adventurous shall happen, and we can report back to you all. Hope the summer fun is just starting, much love, later alligators!
