Hey all...

Hey there from Salem. Yeah, I made it up here. Now I need to try to explain why I'm not sure I'm staying here. When I got the call that said I suddenly had rooming, I had already not just decided I wasn't going, but had made plans for several places I would apply to and other plans for activities around home. When I agreed, it was a spur of the moment decision that didn't give me time to understand what I was getting into. Now that I'm up here, I feel overwhelmed. My parents were trying to be supportive but didn't want me to go from the beginning. Now I keep vacillating between going and staying. I have ideas for what I'll do if I go home, and this place freaks me out. I know I should stay, but I don't know if I'm ready for all this. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well at all. Just trust me that I'm very confused and unsure right now. Dad thinks I'm coming home with them on Monday. ARRRRGH.

(BTW, this apartment doesn't like me - I've banged my head, burned up a tea bag making tea, and fallen down the stairs so far. That doesn't count the injuries sustained moving in and such.)
