tomorrow


classes start tomorrow.
i'm listening to cold war kids, drinking tea, and trying not to vomit.
okay, i'm not that nervous.
i'm not, like, seventh-grade-piano-recital-nervous
where i was seriously concerned i would pee my pants in front of the baby grand
and have to shout "but i'm not due for months!" to cover up my embarrassment,
running off the stage as quickly as my platform heels would allow me.
nope.
i'm a normal level of nervous that automatically comes with learning a new campus
in the center of a new, big city
i'm also still in the process of figuring out.
sigh
deep breaths
and GG snuggles
and day old overpriced spinach + grilled chicken pizza
and the reminder that i have a pretty rad support system
as quantified by my refrigerator.

i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...

p.s. hope everyone affected by hurricane irene is safe as houses. scary weather = the worst.

  4. If it helps any, I was just overwhelmed with a wave of I-don't-want-to-go-tomorrow. I'm thinking about getting DQ in protest.

  5. I totally understand what you're going through. I moved to a new city (though not quite so big) and tomorrow is my first day on a whole new campus as well.

    Good luck! And remember you aren't alone! :)

  7. i love the nervous feeling right before the start of a new school year. i actually miss it. and i'm sure you're even more nervous because you're in a completely new environment. but you're going to have sooo much fun! just take it all in. i'm sure you'll have a blast. i think our bodies are pretty smart and i'm sure when we get nervous about these types of new changes, that it's always because it's well worth it.

    hope your first day went smoothly mydear. =)
