Summer Quarter in Pitt

SO I got through my first week of classes. My teachers are pretty sweet, and my classes aren't so bad. Math teacher she's awesome, which is good becuase if she was a bitch, there is no way I would make it through this quarter. I have this old guy Pence for drafting and theory/development of form; he a hard ass but funny in his own way. He's totally the type of teacher you either love or hate. Then for English I have this mid-thirties dude, who is awesome. He has this really interesting accent, its like British/American/intelligent professor voice, I love it. He has an awesome teaching philosophy, so I'm interested to see if I do better in English because of it.
I also got a math tutor, hopefully I don't fail math and have to pay for another class. I would be extremely pissed if that happened. Overall you would think having more classes would suck, but being that I have little to no friends in pitt, and my boyfriend lives in Boston; its nice having something to do tues-thur. and then the weekend I fill my time with movies and hw. Sounds kinda pathetic but its the only way I make it through each day.
Moving into my new place has helped out on the loneliness factor. Sara and Stacy are great, and its nice to chill and watch tv with them and help with engineering stuff. I can ride my bike around Oakland and go shopping, but it kind sucks doing it alone and when your broke. Being in Pitt I just feel like I'm losing everyone back home. It's hard to keep in touch and sending a text or having a phone convo just isn't the same. I miss my late nights with leigh going all over and party hopin, and I miss chad and our movie car hangouts and having someone to go to shows with, and I miss just sitting in abbeys room chilling and sewing and watching movies. I miss everyone. Even if I do end up making friends with people here in Pitt, it will never be the same, there will never be another group like "the boys" and no one like Leigh abbey or chad, and shows our here could never compare to home.

So I'm super depressed right now, I'm going to stop rambling about things I can't have or can't change.

I'm just going to continue to sit in the dark and listen to Joy Division....
