Basically, I'm lonely. I don't know how to put myself out there when I'm not in classes or immersed with people who are also looking for connections. It's early, and I know to give it time, but I also don't really know how to start finding friends. All my connections at school are scattered across the nation.
So, what would you suggest?
ETA: To clarify, I've done a lot of walking and exploring, and I've really enjoyed it. And my weekends I plan on going to all the museums around here (mostly with a good friend who is up here). But it's the weekday evenings that I'm struggling with.
ETA2: This is also just a summer placement! I won't be here beyond three months, so long term commitments (many service organization) are out.

Go to church.
That's the only reason I go.
