Only 800 words??

So I put the first two parts of my story (which I wrote in one sitting -- it took me about 1.5 to 2 hours) into Word and ran a word count, and it all only amounted to a little over 800.  D:  NaNoWriMo requires almost 2000 words each sitting (1667 words, if we're being exact), and I felt like those 800 words were already so much!  Maybe I'll get better, faster... stronger?  You get restless, though, sitting and just typing for so long.

A quick word about this "story" that I'm writing:  The first part was based on something that I did some time during the first couple weeks after getting to college.  There was a poster sale, and, as at any good poster sale, there were several Beatles posters.  I mostly just wanted to write about that, because I think this endlessly-hesitating-over-and-then-finally-buying-Beatles-merchandise thing that I do is kind of fun, at least for me, because I usually end up with Beatles stuff afterward.

I didn't have any idea where the story was going after the first part.  But I found myself wanting to write about what happens to the poster afterward, and then half-way through the second part, I was like, "Oh yeah, I need characters, plot, and conflict."  So I figured out some semblance of a conflict, and, well, anyone who has read the second part probably knows where this is all going...  Even though this story is taking place in college, I really only know how to write about high-school-type stuff!  I apologize.  Though, if you think about it, even as college freshmen, we're not really that far out of high school -- I don't think we're as grown-up as we think we are, even if we technically are adults.  (And by "we," I guess I mostly mean me.)  Maybe as I get older and wiser, that will change, and I'll be able to write about grown-up things, like life and stuff.  But for now, probably not.
