Sitting on one of the benches on campus, listening to Cibo Matto and a cigarette between my lips. What more can be said. The campus is coming alive as I speak. Actually, it came alive long before I got here. I wanted to download music but it seems that everyone is asleep still.

This weekend was interesting. Birthday, family and sadness. Pain usually goes with all three. Birthdays for me are reminders of my mortality. Family reminds me of the schism that has developed between us. Sadness, well, that's its own pain. Awe, to be cheerful right now. It's not as bad is it sounds. The music has changed to Three Dog Night and later, I'll be happy again. It's amazing how the songs I've chosen for my mp3 player kind of mimics life. There are up beat songs mingled in with sad songs. I actually feel like dancing now. Life, what a trip!

Classes start next week. Still haven't signed out of my "during the day" class. I'd rather have all evening classes. It seems that it would make my life so much easier.

Campus is changing so much. The library has drastically changed. The copy card machines have been replaced by updated systems where students scan their IDs just like at the Parking garage. I still haven't done what I was supposed to. Give me time and I'll accomplish all. Don't loss hope in me.
