Today was the epic first day of school. I was a little disappointed that I didn't have my mom around to take my traditional first day of school picture, which has been carried through since kindergarten. Then I had the sudden realization that this could very well be my LAST first day at a new school. (Although it's more likely that I'll be that 70 year-old lady going to college just for the fun of it.)
Thanks to the tour my roommate gave me on Monday, I managed to make it to my building unscathed and with time to spare. (I did have a mishap crossing the street because there aren't any crosswalk lights so you just run across when you see fit, and hope no one runs over you). I only had the one class, and I sat in the third row and thought, "Hey, this isn't so bad." Then I stood up afterwards and had to wait for 150-plus people to file out, and felt a little queasy.
From there it was straight to work, and when I dragged myself home in the evening, my roommate was waiting in her gym clothes to whip me into shape. She's on her third knee surgery and still bikes faster than me. Impressive.
