Ahh nice, yeah I didn't really keep in contact with High School friends very much at all (I have 'em on facebook but that's about it xD) At uni I was lucky, I 2 people randomly come up to me at orientation and then we went around, made a group of friends and have pretty much stuck together so far xP
I do not socialise with the people from work either, some of 'em are my age but I can't stand them xD
My living location is insanely convenient city wise. I live right on a tram line that goes straight to uni, the city, work and the optometrist, wew. Which is why I've been lazy with my license, I'm guessing you got yours? Seeing as you don't live near the city.
