fencersmother,

ive actually done more to fit in than you might think. I played tennis in high school and tried to join the club team at lafayette, but it was so disorganized it fell apart within the first month. I’m part of the Catholic group on campus, which in a lot of ways is the best thing I have going for me there, but its such a small and unpopular group that I’ve already become friendly with the few people that attend regularly (who are mostly upperclassmen who are nice enough but are already established in their own scene.) In everything I’ve tried so far there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm, and I believe that wouldn’t be the case at ND.

I know it doesn’t come easy, and that I have to step ouside my comfort zone no matter where I am. I just honestly believe it shouldn’t be this tough for me to be comfortable in general with my surroundings.
