Last night's thinking: abridged

The Quincy Brown Line stop has so much character. Someone should shoot a movie here. I could do without the smell though. Pigeon shit I believe.

As a rule, I used to run, sprint, to catch an incoming train. But lately I enjoy the waiting. That little voice in my head has been telling me don’t rush. So I've been missing trains.

My brain was sleepy in class tonight. Note to self: always bring chocolate to a 4 hour class. dark chocolate. sugary. caffeinated. good for concentration… especially when I’m crammed in a small room with so many handsome prospective lawyers. FOCUS! Focus on the homework Mindy! I haven’t been doing the homework…

I used to care a lot about homework.

Reluctantly, I answered a question aloud tonight,  and of course I had the wrong answer. Not so long ago in my life that may have induced a panic attack, for real. but this time I was able to forgive myself. and laugh. and breathe. and continue. Looking foolish is part of being human. if we’re doing it right.

So in fact time changes a few things sometimes without asking your permission. I used to rush around.  I used to panic.  I used to be more studious. And today I remembered:  I used to be …in love. I almost forgot. A lot can change with time.

I’m going out for pizza tomorrow night with a boy.  I don’t really eat pizza but he was so enthusiastic. How could I refuse? He’s a very cute boy. Oh… dating.
