A new reality

It’s now May. It’s the start of a brand new reality for me. Here I am in my apartment room on campus, with three strangers who are now my roommates. It’s very much like some sort of reality television experiment, except we’re probably a whole lot less interesting than some of the psycho characters you might see on television. Oh, but that’s not to say that this apartment is devoid from any nutzoid characters. Frankly, it’s too early to tell. Who knows? I may be the oddball. It’s highly unlikely, but you never know, eh?

So far, I’ve really only had a few brief moments to talk to these new people. Even so, I’ve already made some snap judgments about these people that may colour the way I interact with them. There’s one guy who’s left the place and joined his friends to play foosball downstairs. There’s one guy who’s been in his room with his girlfriend. There’s me who took a good nap once everything was unpacked. There’s the last guy who left his cell phone, and land line phone at home, and whose computer is quite toast. I really can’t consciously judge yet.

I’ll be sharing a bathroom with the guy who forgot everything. Seems though that we have a few things in common. For instance, he has an interest in Japanese language. He also has 15 lb. hex weights with him. Lastly, he seems interested in getting to know his roommates.

Well, only time will tell how it will all turn out. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to last for the next 3.5 months.
