Do I really come off as shy and bookish?

man... i really am amused by the simplest things. One of my residents from Taiwan gave me the nicest gift tonight! A pair of hand made chopsticks from her home. They're absolutely beautiful! She said she noticed us eating chinese one night and she thought I would enjoy them! That's probably the high point of my day!I'm starting to miss my friends more and more. It was bearable while Melissa was still here, but now the lonliness is setting in. Yeah, I saw Jess down in Baltimore. But seeing her there just made me realize how empty it is here! Seeing how fast the foreign girls are bonding makes me miss my own little group. Don't get me wrong now... Jennie and Patti are great. But I'm not close to either of them like I am with Mel and Jess. And now that it's just the three of us, I constantly feel like I'm on the outside looking in. Thank God for my evening class. I'd go insane with nothing to do!
Dr. Sadigh is wonderful so far. Although I have taken more notes in just two nights than I've taken in any other class to date! All my anxiety amounted to nothing. I love the class, and I'm fairly positive that I'll ace the first test next Thursday.
Reading Jackie's entry from tonight, I was thrilled to be mentioned! I don't think anyone has ever described me as devious before. But I LIKE it! I miss Jackie just as much as I miss Jess in a way. She is such a unique person, and I feel so priveleged to know her. She really makes an impact on people and you know it the second you meet her. At first I was a little hesitant to get to know her. Normally people with her type of personality just bowl me over, but by the second semester I was much more sure of myself and, in time, I started to reach out more. She and her roommate Jaime were probably the first two times where I actively TRIED to become friends with someone. I've never been so forward in my life, and to my utter amazement, it WORKED! So, girls, you did some amazing things for my self esteem, let me tell you!
I really can't wait for August... I'm getting lonely here with my books.
