God, why do I listen to this song? It only depresses me. *headdesk*
Alright, so here we are. Tomorrow I start school again. Is it normal to be this nervous? Actually, nevermind. I know why I'm nervous. I'm taking on the biggest course load of my life at a school I've not really attended before surrounded by thousands of people I've never met. I shouldn't really worry though, I'm a good student, I can do this. Just means I need to be more organized, more focused, and more responsible. Three things that I'm not particularily good at. Man, talk about day-before jitters. I am so very much not liking this. But again, in 9 months (knock on wood), this will all be over. I can turn my back on DePaul and walk away with my overly-deserved degree. On the other hand, I'm seeing Barat people by the dozens today. The campus is crawling with them. Unfortunetely, it's mostly ones that I'd rather *not* see. But, oh well. It's still nice to see a familiar face.
I had this awful dream last night, one which I woke up from and was afraid to fall back asleep for a while. I had to get up and walk around the apartment to keep myself from falling back asleep. I won't go into too much detail, but it was a bad one. About my mum. Isn't it funny that no matter how old we get, there's something about our mothers that will always get us, emotionally?
Today, walking to the train station, I had this big stupid grin on my face because it was one of those "wow, I'm a city guy" moments. Here I was, swerving in and out of people on Belmont and trying not to get spit on by the homeless guy that stands at the corner of Clark across from Starbucks. I'm waiting for the crosswalk sign to change, and a cab comes flying out of no where and nearly hits me, and my kneejerk reaction wasn't to run away or start shaking - I yelled back at him (along with four other people standing there). Something odd, but in a way tells a lot about me and how I'm adjusting to city life. Anyway, I just thought it was neat.
Now I need to run, because I have to get my UPASS and my DePaul card *rolls eyes*. At least with my U-Pass I get free public transportation, which will be super nice with work. I'll try and update tomorrow after my meeting with Dr. C. and my Stats class.
