So as the first week of post-CSSSA begins, I'm experiencing the all too normal shock that comes with leaving such a place.

It's strange not waking up to an alarm again, it's odd not having a schedule, it's weird not waking up in the dorm, it's unusual not going to Cafe B in the morning, it's screwy not listening to that one french song Jonny always plays in the middle of life draw, so strange not falling asleep in the bijou, crazy not having something due the very next day, freaky not visiting with my hall mates at 10:30, queer to not get hit after every remark at meals.

I miss the place, I miss the people, I miss the habits.
I miss it all, but to my surprise, i feel...ready.

About a month ago, I was in such a slump, I could barely move my mouse let alone a pencil for any creative means. Every piece I worked on was such a labored effort. The odd mix of last year's "fun" and the oncoming life as a collegiate student left me paralyzed. If not for the coming of CSSSA I'm sure I would have been driven mad.

Now that it's come and passed, I feel up to a project for the next two weeks. Something different some crystalized. Moreover, I feel up to college for once.

For some reason moving forward into life has become all the more reasonable now that I've escaped a little bit.

I'm still readjusting to normalcy outside the nest but starting tommorrow (or rather later today) I think I'll start flying abit.
