First Entry.
Dear Diary,
Today's finally come. I've just unpacked my things and settled into my dorm room. It's smaller than I'd thought it would be, but it's just too cosy. I'm house-sharing with three other people at the university and luckily we all have our separate rooms, even if they're only big enough to fit a bed and a desk -Still, it's nice to be away from home. To have my own space. I haven't met them yet though, but I'm sure it'll be fine, it just has to be.
I saw one of my professors today. He looks lush, I imagine a lot of my female classmates will think so too. I wonder if he's single -No, I probably shouldn't wonder that. My scholarship doesn't cover student-professor relationships after all. I believe I'll keep the fantasies to fantasy and alone with my hand and my thoughts. Not sure why I'd write that, but I've been told diaries like this are good to de-stress from the day, so here I am, starting now.
I haven't got my class schedule yet, so I'll be picking that up tomorrow. I imagine there'll be a settling-in period, perhaps for a couple of days so that everyone can move on to campus and well, get settled. I'm excited to meet who I'll be living with and hope we can at least somewhat get along - I really dislike conflict.
Hmm, what else to write - Oh, I'll need to get a part-time job here too, after my father moved away with his new wife, my mother has been working extra, I couldn't dare ask her for financial help after hoisting myself away to college, but for now, I believe I'll sleep.
Second Entry.
Dear Diary,
I've met the other three people I'm house-sharing with, I got woken up at five AM with someone drunkenly falling asleep on my door, later I found out that was Melissa; one of the girls that lives in the house. She's got platinum blonde hair with gorgeous curls, I'm almost jealous. The two other roomies are... Definitely different. Samantha is pretty small and slim, redhead with a face-full of freckles and Dan, he's quiet, tall and thin with dark hair that he keeps in a pony. I believe he said he's a TA for the science department, so maybe I'll see him more in class than in house, who knows.
Oh, I also saw that cute professor I mentioned in my last entry. Professor Arnold Duke. He's as dreamy as I remember the first time. We introduced each other, he definitely seems much more muscular up close - Something I'm definitely not complaining about. I couldn't help myself, but I asked him to go get drinks so we could discuss the university - It was a stupid excuse and I'm sure he saw straight through it, but he accepted regardless -Which is a win for me, hooray! I'll shower after I finish writing this, find my little black dress and hit the town. Apparently we'll be going to a local that's kept its design from when the university first opened, wooden interior and an old-looking bar -At least that's what he said, but it definitely beats loud, obnoxious nightclubs.
I made a point to invest in some nice heels before I arrived here - I doubt my savings are going to hold up, so I've circled some job's from the local paper and I'll be checking them out tomorrow. I need, need, need to remind myself to call my mother - A text just doesn't do it these days.
Third Entry.
Dear Diary,
Last night was amazing! I met so many cool people and Professor Duke was such a gentleman, he even took me back to his place, which, is much bigger and definitely a lot nicer than the student dorms. Wooden flooring and - Oh, who cares. We kissed. I'd definitely had one-too-many drinks and rounds of karaoke, but we enjoyed ourselves - A part of me really wished I could have enjoyed him a little more than just company and a kiss good night, but then again, it's probably wishful thinking. He is single though, but for now, I really have to focus on jobs. So far, there's a house-cleaning job, an administrative assistant position and a PA. A shame there's no bar work, I could really work on my social skills and meet some new people, but no, bad Emily, I'm not going to be picky!
