Reality Check

To prepare for my new life in the dorm I decided to attend an open house at the school. They let us stay the night and it gave me a glimpse into dorm life. It honestly wasn't too bad, but I got to experience a few things that i'm sure I will be dealing with. My host for the night was nice, but she appeared to be attached to the hip of her boyfriend and spend most of the time concerned about whether he was taken care of  then actually hosting my experience in the dorm. I was a little irritated at first.. but then I realized that this is something I will probably experience while living there. So her neglecting me really showed me more of what it was going to be all about.
I only dealt with the PDA (public displays of affection) & wrestling for a little bit before I decided to leave the dorm room for a little and interact with some of the other students there. For the most part they had no idea how much older I was than them.. which made me happy :). Most of the students seemed genuinely happy with the school and all let me know that it was challenging (which I'm also happy about).

Overall  I'm going to be happy with going back to school. At least this time I'm armed with the knowledge that I am ADD and have the tools (meds & organization software) to help get me through it.
