So big news today, big news. Today was a huge day in the journey of Adrienne becoming a friend maker. Not only did I ask my suite-mate what her name was, I received two friend confirmations on facebook (yes two!)
and I grew some balls and sat with the football coaches at dinner.

Let's start with the suite-mate. I woke up today, she was here, I decided now is the time. I put it right out there, ya know? I said, "hey, whats your name again?" like it was nothing, no big deal, I don't remember your name. And you know what? No regrets. We have been best friends ever since. I told her straight up. I said, "Listen, I've been here by myself for over a week. I don't have any friends, so basically, you're going to be my new best friend." She took it pretty well. I mean she might have thought I was kidding but I did bring it up again later so hopefully, you know, she realizes she really doesn't have much of a choice.
Any ways, she did mention that it was a cultural thing for her to be so friendly (she is Mexican) but I take all the Mexican candies and nick-knacks she gave me as a sign of true friendship.


So that leads me to my two friend confirmations on facebook (three in total). In the past it was always a rule of mine to be super cool and wait for people to friend request me to give off the appearance of superiority but I see now that waiting for other people to friend me, is not proactive. So I've been doing it. First, I friend requested Torri the volleyball GA (confirmed) then I friend requested Torri's roommate the softball GA (confirmed) and then I friend requested my new best friend (also confirmed). Georgia day 11, friends 3. zinger.

And to wrap up the day I sat with the football coaches at dinner. Now, I typically see the football coaches when I go to the dinning hall, but there are quiet a few of them and they all sit together so I am always too intimidated to go sit with them but today when I walked into the dining hall I was riding the confidence high and I said to myself, "today is the day". I grabbed my food and I walked right up and asked like a scared little fourth grader if it would be OK for me to sit with them and they said yes.

Now granted, I hadn't a clue of what all that football mumbo jumbo was that they were talking about but it sure beat sitting alone humming to myself.
