Beginnings (and excuses).

Posted by adrionna on Sep 9, 2010 in Random Ramble |

I woke up at 6:30 this morning to get ready for my 9:40am class. Why disturb my heavenly sleep so early? I’m asking myself the same thing. My initial reasoning was that I was being smart and allowing myself [plenty of] time to commute (bus, train, train) and find the building my honors world lit class would be housed in because I never walked by it before. I knew the general direction, and when I saw a building with vines, I figured it was time to change course and move east. I did, and wha-la, there stood my building. I glanced down at my phone (remember when, in the olden days, they used to say “glanced down at my watch.” How regal that sounds now) and saw I still had a whollleee hour before my class. So, rather than be lame and wait 40 minutes away on a bench like an elder feeding ducks (and even their time would be more exciting – they actually have ducks), I decided to explore. I am going to school in Chicago after all. I get off my tush and start walking, noting my backpack feels a tad heavier than I originally presumed it was going to be. I see a pretty building…. White, with small balcony-looking things on the window…. Hey! Look! A McDonalds!

And here I am.

In hindsight, I’m an idiot for waking up so early.

Moving on –

Since I’ve been busy, everyone seems to be asking how everything’s going since I just returned from a trip I took Labor Day weekend (I visited my boyfriend’s family in Arkansas). I have so many different things going on with school and my life and school and my life (intentionally repeated, don’t worry), that I feel like I can’t keep up with everyone I would like to. I love my friends to the death, but goodness do I feel overwhelmed. So – rather than respond to 2039470932742y facebooks individually (basically telling the whole story), I decided to write a post during my breaks between classes. Oh, and if you’re thinking “What!? I’m not worth a personal story?!” This should make you feel better.. It’s the honest truth that, because of my crazy busy schedule, you’d probably only get one or two broad stories. Here, you’ll get all the stories and all the details. Yay!) In the midst of this, however, I really am grateful that I have so many different people interested in what the hells going on in my life. If nothing else, y’all are just [forcing] me to write down memories that I know I’ll want to look back on when I’m 90. If it weren’t for you, I might not have even thought of creating a written record of this crazy transition in my life this week. Point is – thanks for honing in on the ‘nosy’ in you – it’s appreciated! =D

I’ll try really hard to get some of this last week posted soon. Stay tuned!
