So here I am. I'm in week 6 of my first semester at Cal State Northridge. And by extension, week 6 of my time here in Reseda.
If I seem underwhelmed, I don't mean to. I'm just telling it like it is, so to speak. It only really occurred to me Monday afternoon that this was my sixth week, and it just feels so...natural. I've gradually been meeting people, gradually getting into things on campus, and I'll have a decently paying job soon if all works out well. So I think things are skewing in a more positive direction, which is a nice plus considering there have been a few naysayers along my way who swore I'd never make it to this point. My living environment is great as well. Sure, I share it with a bunch of people, but it's worked out well for me. The space is big enough that you don't feel like you're walking on top of anyone else, and the sleep area is far from being a 'shoebox' or anything else super small. Plus, on days when other people have classes and I don't, it's nice to have this huge of a space practically to myself.
Academics-wise, I'm in a good place where I feel like I belong. Personal-wise, I don't know if it's really home or not. I've worked so hard to reach this point, but the people whom I promised I would get here don't seem to care. There are days when I feel cut off personally from things, even when academically things are going well. But in the end, who knows?
