Growth in Visitorship

Thanks to various recent actions, especially having my gf setting up a blog and linking it to mine, there was a improved daily visitorship of this blog.

To be dead honest, it's something I don't even dream of till it happened, but I suppose my gf's network of close friends did, thankfully, visited my site. (I sure hope it wasn't boring since financials aren't the most interesting for most people, unless we're talking about what one can do with money). By the way, could I extend my most sincere invitation for any and everyone to leave comments and such?

And that brings me to the next point...social networks...Well, definitely everyone has their own circle of friends and family and associates and such. But it troubles me that I don't quite have a big or strong network. Or at least I think so. Even the thought of that statement being true is disappointing. And so I am supposed to go to orientation to start my varsity life proper? Would I survive?

One of my colleagues (well, improper use of term, cos they are permanent staff while I'm gonna be here for only the next 2 months or so) told me that I should seriously consider staying on campus. She said it'll "colour my life," and I responded with "What if I aren't colourful enough?" Wanna guess her response? She said "Don't worry, they'll(I suppose it means the rest of my varsity mates) will colour you(or me really)."

And I dunno if that will happen? Me? Colourful? Those who know me probably can see the improbability of that. Think about this, when everyone's thinking about celebrating their 21st birthday with one big bash, I, almost, can't be bothered. Neither can or will I come up with anything impressive if I tried.

Having said that, it kinda bothers me. It's like I don't have a life, but I think I've gotta admit it anyway. In fact, I just made my first memorable attempt at looking good last friday. And, no, it didn't turn out well.

Makes me wonder if I should bother thinking about grooming and image and stuff. I even wanted to call the director of a PR company to see if they have any personal grooming courses. So what sort of bearing will this issue have on my life in varsity for the next 4 years? Will I still be a lone ranger?

Or will I choose to make friends, and build very strong friendships?
