With things just getting good

I am back at the EC. And it feels great.

I gave a talk to Dr. Thomas's seminar classes today, which was fun. Some of them were really responsive, which I honestly had not expected. Dr. Thomas sent me an email thanking me for the talk, an email in which he actual used the phrase "Hot-Lanta." Imagine that in a Welsh accent...just do it. It's fun.

After the talk, I got to see---JOEY HARMON! Who is now a freshman at Erskine! Which is the best thing ever!

I am moved in, but my stuff is not really arranged yet. But most of my posters are up.

This afternoon, I caught up with some friends. I went to get gas with Matt, and it was like we had never left each other. We haven't talked all three and a half months of summer--and you couldn't tell.

Everything is the same.

After hanging out with Matt, Roberto [The O] came over, and we talked about A LOT of different things. I really like Roberto, and neither of us can figure out why we never hung out last year. We ate dinner and went to the DG, which was necessary.

Joey got back from his orientation activities, and he came over to my dorm, and we laid down on my bed for hours, just being with each other. It was a great beautiful wonderful fulfilling feeling. Settling into his arms gives me a feeling of calm like nothing else.

At times like this, it occurs to me: Everything is ok. I am ok. No matter what people think about me, no matter how they perceive [or want to perceive] me, I am ok. I am doing well. And no one can change that. And no one can take that away from me, because it is wrapped up inside of me.

After a few hours of snuggle time, we went to Lou's with Jim, The O, Jim's friend Jordan and her friend Tori. I had fun meeting the girls, and Roberto was in high improprietous form [which made us a dynamicduo] and we worked crossword puzzles and drank coffee and had raucous fun, which is what college is about.

So here were are--the end of the first night of my junior year of college. I think I can say, without a doubt, that this will be a wonderful wonderful year.

With things just getting good.
