All By Myself

So here I am. My sister left for Wisconsin today, and I am now officially on my own, once again. I'm a big boy! And yet I don't know what to do. Orientation doesn't begin until a week from Thursday, so I really haven't met anyone yet. The cably guy is coming on Monday. Until then, what's a gal to do? Err... boy. Man. Ruggedly handsome man. Point being: one man can only watch the same episodes of Scrubs or his brand new used DVD of Silence of the Lambs (Holla, Julie!) so many times. I tried getting a jump start on my assignments (oh, yes, I have received assignments by e-mail, even though classes don't start until Sept. 5. Daaaaamn!), but I can only get so far without access to the law library yet, since registration isn't until the 31st. I've tried planning my outfit for class photo day (also the 31), but I just don't know what to do. I mean, I've hit a roadblock here, folks. Obviously, I'm feeling khakis and some collared shirt. But do I go tie? I don't want to be that guy wearing a tie when nobody else is, but I also don't want to be that guy who isn't wearing a tie when everyone else is (gooooooo conformist!). I mean, we're talking class photos here. CLASS PHOTO! This is something for all posterity. This is a fundamental step. Damn it, it's prom all over again. Let's hope this doesn't end in bitter tears and broken dreams, too (just kidding!). So, moral of the story: what am I to do? Until I figure that out, I guess the only thing I can do is try and grow a pair. And pick out the bitching-est corsage ever. Wish me luck!
