Moving into College town

At the end of July 2003 i graduated from my highschool in the north-west area of my country, Venezuela.
That same year in the beginnings we were supposed to take this test and choose our Careers and universities, i was so eager to leave my hometown, it didn't matter where i was going as long as it was somewhere else.
My choices of careers were *Electronical engineering (in the city where i ended up) *Marine Biology (in the coasts of the north east of the country) or *Veterinary (in my hometown). One month after i finished my highschool and attended my graduation i moved to this city that is 4 hours away from my hometown to attend Electronical engineering and live with my father during the week.

My first day at the university was lets say, funny. I didn't know where i was actually living, address or anything besides the fact that there was a mall nearby. We went to our "guidance" class and thats where everybody was supposed to say their names, highschool they went to, place of birth, phone number and area of actual living.
I basically said "I'm Mary, went to La Salle highschool in Barquisimeto and i don't know either my phone number or area of living" everybody started laughing, at that moment i realized that i was the only one lost and that they were pretty laughable.

That day i made my first 2 friends, she *Winny* and her brother *Paul* lived around 5 blocks away from my apartment and that day they gave me a ride back home, sweet my very first friends made by me! 
That same day i met other friends that were introduced to me by the daughter of one of my dads friends, she introduced me to *Arianna, *Ralph and *Jose, they were pretty much into D&D and things i didn't understand yet. 

I went home that day pretty happy of the new people i met, however i could tell i was definitely a foreigner in my own country.
