Before I arrived to the Telluride House, I promised myself that I would dispel all myths of the social ineptitiude people commonly form after meeting me for the first time. But as I look back on how orientation went and my general behavior as a new housemember, it’s easy to see that these efforts were a complete fail. No matter how many times I tell myself, “This will be the day that you convince everyone that you’re fascinating and insightful and amazing and (insert reinforcing adjective here)”, things never really go as ideally as I had pictured it in my mind. Not only has my silence at the dinner table and during house gatherings given life to suspicions of my “wallflower-ness”, it has also been one of several indications that being a part of CBTA is going to be one of the most emotionally taxing experiences of my young life. At any rate, I hope you guys have not lost hope in getting to know me on a personal level (hah, is it presumptuous of me to assume that you all are dying to be my friend?) and despite all outward appearances, I am sincerely honored to be here. Here’s hoping for a good year!
