i am going to sleep now! i feel like i'm in primary sch again but i am super tired. i think i'm not used to exercising so much in a week, swimming a couple of laps today made me feel very old.
speaking of primary school, i bumped into 3 of my primary school friends this week. it was quite scary both times because we looked at each other in the eye and there was no way i could have pretended i didn't see them. my usual approach would be to adopt the glassy eyes look and look the other way as quickly as humanly possible because i don't know the appropriate reaction to have upon meeting friends that you haven't seen in 3 - 9 years. but, i am now a changed person, sociable is my middle name so i looked at them and gave a tentative smile that must have looked like a grimace but it's the thought that counts right. they were surprisingly effusive in their greetings and i did feel slightly awkward that i couldn't return the enthusiasm sincerely but i am just not the sort of girl who will squeal and hug their friend in the middle of the corridor, thereby blocking off the entire walkway, before standing there for forever saying stuff like, "OH MY GOD!!" in a voice several registers higher than my normal one for about seven hundred and sixty-five times.
it's good to see old friends again though, operative word being old. the idea of me finally being in university hasn't really sunk in yet, it should sink in by the time i graduate. it's frightening how we're of the age where we have army going friends and we're meeting primary school friends in university.
our day will come.
