nice people every now and then

The beginning of this year was full of expectations for me: on the one hand, I knew I had to do better that last year if I wanted to get my degree. And on the other hand, I was really nervous about sharing a whole year with paople I didn't know. I had spent thae last four years of my life with the same people. That relationship had had better and not so good moments, but we knew each other, and somehow, there was a familiar sensation. When the year began, I realize missed the guys, but a new challenge was about to start.
I knew that my good pals Caro, Mariam, Juana and Rachel would be within the the same class, but what about the others? My problem (as you must have seen), is that making friends is extremely hard for me. I don't know how to act, so I get away from everybody, till I get the strenght to talk to them.
Well, it's November now, and I have survivied! I shared this 2008 with some great people. The girls are very nice, and of course, we have our man, Tadeo.
So, as everything else, getting to know them has taken me some time. But in the end I was able to know that if my friends weren't there, I was still capable of having a conversation with any of them. I guess it has to do with alouding yourself to let the others pass that gate that you put yourself. I mean, I had my reasons for being like this: over the years, I ran into some people that were not nice to me, just because. But this year was ok. I opened myself a little bit more, and that's growing up. So that's good news.
