College life

Whew! Am I a basket case or what?

But, something else happened that I hope will perk me up, and change things around.

A few blogs that I read mentioned a new sim Kindly State University. It is a college life roleplaying sim. (Apparently it was a high school before the crackdown on 18+ began)

The bloggers had 'enrolled' and it sounded like they were having a very good time.

From what I can tell, it is a sim that is like a college campus. And to be there, you have to roleplay as a college student, faculty, or other campus person.

So I signed up. I already know some of the students there (although they don't know me, since I lurk on their blogs). It is a ready made community. Hopefully it will be easier for me to meet people there.

I have a new RP-Mereille background for being there.

For KSU, I am now a 21-year old freshman.

I am starting college late because I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with a humanitarian aid organization in Africa. My parents are aid workers. My mother is an American teacher, and my father is a French civil engineer.

Because of their careers, I have spent my entire life travelling with them, and never attended a normal school. They home-schooled me. When we went on holiday, it was on our boat, or travelling to visit relatives in France or the US.

They wanted me to go to college when I finished my high school studies. But I managed to get them to agree to let me volunteer first. Now I can't put it off any longer. I am not sure about college. I don't really want to go. But I do need the degree to be able to continue my parents' work. Travel delays (I was in an area of Africa that has only one airplane a week) kept me from getting to school on time. Now I am arriving a week after the term starts, the dorms are full, and I don't know a soul.

Cross your fingers. I hope this works out!
