Yes, I decided to go to school and I couldn't regret the decision. In fact, I am very happy that I did despite not feeling up to waking up early in the morning now that it's starting to get gloomy and jackets are taken out of the closet. It gives me the excuse to dress up and mix and match my outfits as I've recently discovered that I actually own quite a number of clothes. Now I feel almost normal and not socially retarded.

One thing I enjoy in the mornings though is watching people on their way to work in their pressed suits and neat clothes, and students in their variety of funky and trendy outfits. I make up stories about them in my head while listening to my artist of the day on my beloved iPod. Some days I look at their faces and study their moods but most days, like today, I just check out what they're wearing. It's like looking through a live fashion magazine or watching a music video or a movie, only I'm actually part of the cast and it feels great to be a part of something even if it's as trivial as being a regular commuter. My 8 a.m subway ride is one of the most interesting parts of my day.
