Classes began today. I remember I always used to be nervous about going back to school the first day. But I wasn't this year. I'm glad I finally learned not to be nervous about that sort of thing. Too bad it took me 13 years of public school + 2 years of college to learn it, though. It could've come in handy in the past.

This thread is mightily depressing. So I'm making a point of not typing anything sad myself. I'm trying to learn how not to dwell on problems, especially problems that don't have a solution. The problems will still be there whether you sit around thinking about them or not.

I'm sitting here by myself in my room, and my roommates are all at class. Mostly everyone in my building is in class, I think. Everything is so quiet. Everything seems really surreal in a way. I like times like this. I can just sit here and let time pass me by.
