recap.
i have 6 weeks of class left before my time at Northwestern expires!
i am also 45 days away from taking the LSATs…(gulp!)
it is exactly 8 weeks until Commencent & Convocation take place.
i’ve ordered my cap & gown, started the furniture-selling process, bought my plane ticket home on the 20th, and am gearing up for ..dun dun dun: the end of an era..haha.
being a psych major really makes you overthink things. i spent today (and the last 2 Fridays) in downtown Chicago, and every time i saw something interesting, i would evaluate and then re-evaluate my thoughts & feelings at the time: do i say i dislike certain things just because i associate it with Chicago? for example, if we moved the Water Tower building to New York, would i think it was the coolest place ever? i remember when i first visited Chicago, i thought the tall buildings were really awesome - the malls in LA rarely got up to 3 stories high, let alone the 7 or 8 that is typical of Chicago shopping centres. how come in the last couple of years i refused to allow myself to think any positive thoughts about Chicago? sometimes i wonder to myself what the city did to piss me off - it wasn’t just the -35 weather, i’m sure (:
i noticed a few nice things about Chicago today (surprised?). there were fresh tulips blooming, and the trees are getting greener by the day! people are finally wearing brighter colours, and you could smell Garrett’s popcorn all down the street.
and just when i was starting to smile at my surroundings, it started raining. lovely.
dare i admit to myself that i might just miss this a little when i leave? we’ll see.
