I am feeling really good. I may be on the rise of a swing, but I also feel like I am improving. Maybe this will be the swing where I jump off and land on the ground, but let's not get our hopes up too much.

I will start off about friday, not much to say, but some. Mostly it was a good day. I had a lot of free time because my lit class was canceled, so I mostly stayed in the lobby... but they changed something in the lobbies... they added tables. It sucks. Now, there are tables in the lobby, and they are right on the plugs so they can leech one of the plug slots and split it into two outlets at the top of the table. On the 4th floor, at least there are still the comfy chairs on the side, but I don't know how long that is going to last because they have taken them out of the lower two levels already. Which brings up a problem: the tables provide less seats, so people are more distributed up to the 4th floor now. There are probably 2 times as many people up here now.

Aside from the tables, it was a pretty good day. My lab partner and I made the same variance (not really something wrong, just an odd way of doing something that is inefficient) on the bonus on the chem quiz, and the teacher said something about it. After class, my lab partner approached me and said something about it and how we must think alike. It was actually a kinda awkward conversation because I didn't really have anything to say, and then she said something about how she didn't answer anything but the bonus, so she failed it, and I didn't really know what to say. I never do in that sort of situation. I want to comfort the person, but I don't really know how to. I said "You could have tried to answer them" and she didn't understand/hear me for like 3 times, so that was awkward. Then she explained what she missed, and I just said "Oh well" and tried to be sympathetic. I hoped I hadn't been rude or anything, I just didn't know how to respond.


Today was pretty good too.

Our calc teacher was pretty mad, and that is never fun. It always puts me on edge and makes me nervous.

But after calc, I went to my car to get some tums, and on the way back to the school, my lab partner and a few of her friends (maybe also her husband, I don't know) were walking out for a smoke break, and she spotted me. She yelled hi at me and asked if we had a test in chem. I waved back and shrugged, and she said "See you in chemistry", so that was a nice encounter. It is easy to underestimate how good it can feel just to talk to someone or something like that. It is nice to have a friend like that who wants to say hi to me.

I kinda want to walk around the area around the school. It is a pretty safe neighborhood (mostly elderly people), and it is pretty cool. There is a pharmacy near the highschool (which is maybe a mile away), and a small town sort of thing about a mile in the other direction. I want to walk around the peripheral part of the campus too. I just keep thinking for some reason that I am not allowed to wonder. But I am, right? I can walk on the sidewalk if I want to. I keep thinking "what am I going to do if someone asks me where I am going", but I guess a destination is not required by law or something. I think I am going to take a day that I have a lot of spare time and just walk around. I like seeing the different roads and everything, and I like just walking like that and discovering. There is something magical/childish about it.

I forgot to put in the think that relates to the title, ha ha.

That was: I have been looking at CRON diets and diets that improve mental functioning.

I don't know what exactly what I was going to say about it, but just wanted to put that down.

You are definitely allowed to wander! I am always amazed when I walk through an area that I usually drive through and notice so many more details that I never would notice driving. If someone asks, "Where are you going?" you can just say, "For a walk."
