I feel so weird for posting that earlier - today seems to have been the day that everything has changed.
So I've been feeling pretty miserable/sorry for myself the past few weeks I've been here. I've pretty much gone to my classes and the library every day, come home and stayed in my room all the rest of the time, not really interacting with anyone.
Well, today the group of girls I had naturally sort of gravitated towards all told me how nice I was and how easy I was to talk to, and how they had missed me a lot when I had been away/not going out/ staying by myself all day, so when we didn't get into the roller-disco (it was too full) we went and got some burgers, came back to the flat and watched a movie together, and it was really fun. I think we're going to make it a regular thing
So now I feel a ton better because I can actually say I have a group of friends here. Anxiety is still a problem so I'll be going to see the Uni Councillors tomorrow to see about regular sessions for a little while - and of course I miss everyone back home (my Mum and Dad especially) But now I think I'm ready to try a bit harder to take part and be less worried about everything
Also one of them hasn't seen TLK, so I think our next movie night will have to be that
