Room mate

This summer before I came to Ball State, I went on the room mate search to find a room mate for this year. It seemed like a good idea, because then I didn't get stuck with some random person, but at the same time, I had never met them or didn't grow up with them. The idea of rooming with someone from my home town still gives me goose bumps. So, I started talking to this one girl with the same major as me, and we decided that it'd be a good match. A week before it was time to move in, I got a call from the housing department and they told me that she had withdrew at the last minute and that I was now rooming with someone else, but that she was in the air force and wouldn't be arriving until the first week of September. At first I was really nervous and frustrated, because I didn't want to be roomed with some strict girl from the armed forces, but now that Haley is here I'm not upset about it at all. It was probably better that it worked out this way anyways. We're not super close, actually we hardly talk unless we're in the same room together, but I kind of like that. I don't have someone tagging along all the time. Sometimes I feel bad though, because she doesn't really know anyone here, and she hasn't been home since March. She seems very independent, though, and she likes to go home to Carmel on the weekends. I guess I have really mixed feelings about the whole set up, but I'm making the best out of it, and really I could get along with anyone if they were willing to get along with me.
