You know you're getting old when you no longer want to stay at the club all night long, especially when you actually want to go home because you're tired.posted by Erica at 1:11 PM
Don't worry about me going too crazy. I have moments of complete perspective and clarity in all the craziness. I'm still the same person I've always been. Things don't change that quickly in my life.

I think that understanding who I am and how others perceive me will allow me to take control of my life.posted by Erica at 5:56 PM
I'm so excited by the possibilities in this term.
I told P yeterday that I know that I'm boy crazy and that I'm comfortable with it.
I bumped into this guy that I had a huge crush on last year on ICQ. And I couldn't resist flirting with him a little. So much fun :).

Of course what happened in New York is always on all our minds. But other than T.V. and occasional serious conversations, life goes on. My little university town is otherwise unaffected.

Me and P went to see some friends last night. And it was really good. It was really good to see them again, and I know that this term won't be that bad.
Also, an interesting turn of events. A friend ICQed me, and apparently a friend of his that I met one night during the summer that also goes to my school wants my number here. I remember him from that night.... he was sorta aloof, so this sorta surprises me. But he was cute... my type, definetely. With the sorta funky style, the purposefully geeky glasses and spiky hair, sorta fob style, which I'm really into. So this term is turning out to be a lot of fun.

I feel really horrible for what happened in NY. Wow I guess I'm still a little in disbelief. I can't help but feel detached from it. I'm not American, and I don't have any relatives that are either. I don't know anyone that was really affected, except one of my profs who had a brother working in one of those buildings.My love and sympathies for everyone in the U.S..

Wow. I just came back from a back to school party and had a really good time.My friend introduced me to this guy, and he was so incredibly cute. She introduced me with the intentions of me asking for his number, which I never did, of course, the thought never crossed my mind - he was just too cute for me! And I've never picked someone up before. We talked a little, and he asked me if I was mixed - which I take as a big compliment because I think most mixed kids are beautiful - they tend to have a superior mix of genes.
I have a new policy in effect. No more club pick ups. I will try to not incourage these things anymore. I used to, not so consciously, I would smile in the direction of some guy a split second too long, or I would be scanning the room and make eye contact a little too long with a stranger. So I'm gonna try to not do that anymore. Not to be a snob, but just because I know better now.
My day at school was actually really bad. I felt so bored and ready to fall asleep in one class, and then I felt totally overwhelmed and in over my head in another. The consequences of my choices are hitting me now, and I only had 3 classes and 1 tutorial today. So this party totally made up for it, so I guess it wasn't such a bad first day.

I miss my Dad. It's his calm that gives me stability in my life (in contrast to my Mom and sister, they both stress me out). But I'm getting used to life here already, again.posted by Erica at 10:15 AM

Okay so here I am.I feel weird.
I am definetely not ready to be back here.
But how can you really prepare yourself?
It's just another transition stage into another level of my life.
It's time to make myself at home away from home again.
