Well, let's see... I didn't have a birthday (like randir, btw, happy birthday) and I didn't have anyone tell me they love me (damn you, zozo, damn you) and I certainly don't have some tale from some faraway country (Yurei), but I'm me and that's pretty damn good in my book.
Actually, it kind of is a faraway country to me. You see, I started college today. I've been doubly looking forward to this day and fearing it. My months in Chicago on my own was just a warm up, because it's all on the line: my money (yes, all of my goddamned money, but that's a story for another node), my future, my self-respect. So today found me standing in Kettering University, ready to do battle with fate.
I got off to a good start, leaving the majority of the paperwork I needed at home (yeah, it's only 40 minutes away, but I don't have a car handy). I recovered and got moved in and my parents sent off all in short order. Several meetings later, a new-found compatriot of mine and I explored the Academic Building. We had a lot of laughs and I'm sure it will be a warm memory for years to come.
Oh yeah, it snowed lightly this morning.
