CHARACTER STUDY (III)

Susie is awaken by a flush of unknown terror.  "Uh, it was just a dream." Then she notices that she is unaware of her surroundings. There is another bed in the room and there are 2  desks with only a few other objects to adorn the room.  She thinks, "where am I,and  wasn't I just in my own room?" All of a sudden a short girl with dark curly hair that seems to be from Latin roots; walks in and asks Susie , " Aren't you going to be late to your first class?" Susie still as confused as before asks, " What are you talking about and where am I?" The girl looks at Susie with a concerned look then says, " Man the stress must be really getting to if you don't remember where you are."  She continues , but with a tone that  would be used when talking to a child and with an edge of sympathy and impatience, " You are in UCSB, I'm your roommate, Cecilia, and your supposed to be going to your math class right now." Susie is bombarded from what she is hearing. Then she asks Cecilia," Is it okay if you walk me to my class, please,  I'm sorry I just don't really remember anything." Cecilia moans and saids, " Your really going to make me walk all the way there...fine, but just because we get along so well and I'm pretty sure you don't remember the rest of your classes do you?" Susie shakes her head, thankful that at least she can still remember her name. Cecilia continues and saids," I thought so, well I guess it will give me time to tell you where the rest of your classes are, and by the way you should really go to the student services and get checked out, because you are really starting to freaking me out." Susie nods and hastily gets ready for what seems to be her first day in university.

After being ushered  to her class, she walks in only to notice that nobody really cared that she was late and most of the students didn't even bother to to turn  around and see who had came in. They were so focused in the topic that they seemed in their own little world. Susie was thankful that Cecilia had shown her the rest of the classes that she would be taking today, before she got here so she won't be so lost after the class ends. Susie tries to pay attention but is only able to capture very little of what is being taught. She thinks," I really shouldn't have been worrying about  the essays because math seems to have less and less numbers involved as the years go by, but more letters." For the rest of the day, its practically the same thing she keeps failing to understand the material. She finally gets back to her dorm and is set to do the only thing she knows will make her feel better, when she's on the edge of tears. She grabs the phone and dials the number." Hello, Mom?" Her mom answers and asks her how she's been. Susie can't hold it anymore, tears are now streaming down her face " Mom I don't know what to do, I'm so lost and I miss you." Her mom is able to comfort her even though she is unaware that her daughter is on a whole other level of lost, since she can't remember a whole chuck of her life. Susie finally hangs up  trying to hold on to her mother's voice as long as she can only knowing that this was going to end soon enough. After hanging up Susie crawls into bed unable to take anymore of this awful and confusing day.
