>>1 Well, I would just lay low, and just act how you want others to see you as. Don't worry about being left alone, you'll find some people you'll fit in with. Introduce yourself, get to know them. Walk around with them, eat with them if you like.
Personally though, I think I like it sometimes when I'm alone.. Gives me some time to think. You know, relax. You can try doing that too. Maybe if the school is nice enough, they'll let you walk around and draw in a pretty comfy place. You never know, every where is different.
Besides, you's always have us. Good luck!
